Jaquet Droz, Grande Seconde Algue Petrifiée, Numerus Clausus of 1. Notes The Grande Seconde Algue Pétrifiée by Jaquet Droz is fully representative of the intrinsic character of the Swiss Haute Horlogerie brand. Splendid contemporary aesthetics; exceptional quality and know-how; extreme care in the choice and treatment of materials; an exclusive approach; and creations produced in limited editions – in this case of just one. Jaquet Droz is dedicated to conceiving, developing and producing timeless masterpieces embodying the union of Haute Horlogerie and art. It applies the principles that shaped the success of its founder, Pierre Jaquet Droz, in the Age of Enlightenment. As a skilled entrepreneur and creative talent, he acquired a brilliant reputation through the magnifi cence of his watches, clocks and snuffboxes featuring animated scenes and breathtaking enamelled decorative motifs, sparing no effort in travelling the length and breadth of Europe and even conquering the remote Chinese Empire with his famous android automatons. Like him, the Jaquet Droz brand is open to the world, constantly listening and feeling its pulse in the process of developing unique and timeless masterpieces.
