The Jaquet Droz Quantieme Perpetuel Circlee watch is an exquisite timepiece that exemplifies the spirit and purpose of haute horlogerie. This timepiece, crafted in extremely limited numbers in the Jaquet Droz workshop carries on the proud legacy of the legendary 18th century horologer Pierre Jaquet-Droz, by showcasing a strikingly designed interpretation of one of the most prestigious high complications in all of watchmaking.
The perpetual calendar mechanism of this watch indicates days of the week, date, month, as well as the progression of leap years; this complex device takes into account the variances of months throughout the year, without any need for manual correction by the user when months are less than 31 days.
The Jaquet Droz Quantieme Perpetuel Circlee l watch is animated by the JD5863 Caliber. This luxurious movement, based upon the excellent Frederic Piguet 1151, features dual mainspring barrels that permit it an impressive power reserve of approximately 68 hou
rs. Its cadrature (under-dial work) has been designed by Jaquet Droz’s watchmakers to permit this watch’s arrangement of calendar indications, and specifically, the strikingly designed retrograde functions for the day and date. Visible through the exhibition sapphire caseback, the movement of this Jaquet Droz timepiece demonstrates the full gamut of luxurious finishing techniques. The 22K gold rotor is engraved with an intricate pattern, while the bridges feature Cotes de Geneve. The screws are all carefully polished, and all bridge edges have been gently rounded in a technique known as “anglage”. Timepiece collectors the world over celebrate the exceptional dials of Jaquet Droz, which represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship and the use of exotic materials.
The Jaquet Droz Quantieme Perpetuel Circlee watch follows in this tradition, with a dial of breathtaking finishing contrasts, and exacting detail. Upon an opaline slate background are featured polished white gold s
ectors (from which the watch takes its “Circlee” name) and polished white gold cabochon hour markers. The central section, which bears the subdials for the small seconds and months of the year, reveals a fine hobnail guilloche pattern. The unique white gold elements are secured to the dial via screws which have been painstakingly blued using the traditional heating method, which causes oxidation of the steel, and a change in its color; if the temperature is not exact, the color is neither correct, nor even. The beautiful hands, displaying both lance and serpentine shapes, are also crafted individually and feature the same painstaking bluing process as the screws. The Jaquet Droz Quantieme Perpetuel Circlee watch is presented in a 43mm case made from 18K white gold, which has been given a lustrous polish; its shape is emphatically classical, yet reflects the preoccupation for expression and uniqueness that exemplify any Jaquet Droz creation. This complicated Jaquet Droz
timepiece is completed by a finely finished non-tapered alligator strap and an 18K white gold ardillon buckle.
