Jaquet Droz’s Celebrates 280 Years With A Mechanical Automata

Three traits of Jaquet Droz watchmaking savoir faire are the traditional metiers d’arts, exquisite mechanical automata, and exotic natural mineral dials. You get all three in the new Loving Butterfly Automaton watches, a testament to the manufacture’s Art of Astonishment philosophy.

Released for Jaquet Droz’s 280^th anniversary, these new models honour the genius of Henri-Louis Jaquet-Droz and the numerous android automata made during his time. Inspired by one of his sketches, that of a cherub in a chariot drawn by a butterfly, the Loving Butterfly Automaton was first introduced in 2017.

These fresh interpretations play with precious and semi-precious stones to varying effects: slate grey meteorite meets rich black onyx, shimmering black opal is conjoined with dazzling baguette-cut diamonds arranged in a sunray pattern, sparkly dark blue aventurine is set off by misty white mother-of-pearl.

Push the button within the crown and the wheels of the chariot begin to spin, while the butterfly flaps its wings. Handcrafted in gold, the applique is completely three-dimensional, as is the thicket of trees forming the background. Of the three, the model in opal is a unique piece, while the other two are 28-piece limited editions.
