Jaquet Droz returns to its legendary Grande Seconde to create a new standard in women’s watches. To achieve this, its craftsmen have worked with one of the most beautifully luminescent materials: mother-of-pearl. Its shimmering contrasts with the red gold of the case and the inner bezel ring are further enhanced by a river of diamonds. Precious and refined, the Grande Seconde Tourbillon Mother-of-Pearl has secrets of its own, beginning with the white mother-of-pearl adornment on the oscillating weight, and the bridges with a fanned Côtes de Genève motif. One of the masterpieces of horological complications resides at 12 o’clock: the tourbillon. This miniature mechanical sculpture, is the first time Jaquet Droz has given its tourbillon a silicon balance-spring and pallet horns, the guarantee of absolute and lasting precision. 88-piece limited series.
