JAQUET DROZ’s DIY watch offer
In the 18th century, the Jaquet-Droz family were pioneers in the art of luxury decoration. Through their work, they supported an entire generation of craftsmen. Enameled cases embellished with paillons, painting, sculpting and engraved ornamentation all contributed enormously to their success and fame.
To this day, the brand known by its twin stars offers discerning clients the opportunity to customize the dial of their timepiece to suit their taste and pay tribute to the tradition upheld by the Jaquet Droz Ateliers d’Art.
Jaquet Droz invites you to draft a design for your own timepiece by customising and creating a unique piece on request – taking the time to explore the brand’s expertise and collaborate with its artisans. Prior to final validation, Jaquet Droz will need to communicate with you several times in particular with the model that will serve as a canvas for the design to be determined, as well as the craft techniques to be employed: enameling, painting, or sculpted and engraved ornamentation.
Minerals were always a particular focus for Pierre Jaquet-Droz, who held them in special affection. They inspire a rare emotion, constantly experienced anew. Jaquet Droz captures the natural brilliance of stones, using them to decorate its watch dials and create a customized product: aventurine, bronzite, imperial jasper, lapis lazuli, meteorite, mother-of-pearl, onyx, ruby heart, spectrolite… Thus adorned, each mineral watch naturally becomes one-of-a-kind.
