There are names in horological history that echo much more than just watches... Such is the
case of Jaquet-Droz, 18th Swiss watchmakers with an international horizon, whose ceremonial
clocks, prodigious androids, fashionable birdcages, pocket watches with moving scenes or collector’s
snuffboxes remain the stuff of dreams for passionate enthusiasts. Today, the Maison
Jaquet Droz continues to draw its inspiration from this rich heritage in order to reinterpret
techniques and aesthetics, pushing back the boundaries of watchmaking and representing a
perpetual source of fascination for collectors.
Based on the latest research on the subject and published on the occasion of the 300th anniversary
of the birth of Pierre Jaquet-Droz (1721-2021).
