Pierre Jaquet-Droz, the Swiss-born watchmaker, was a bit of a bird watcher. He was particularly fascinated by the blue songbird. Centuries later, the historic brand has ventured back to its roots to explore the wonder of birds with The Petite Heure Minute Relief Seasons, a precious ode to their song and elegance.
Master craftsmen, when given gold and pearl, brought to life the fluttering of wings and luminous feathers in an intricate trompe-l’œil. The detailed birds are lifelike and free, reflecting the miracle of nature.
The watch will come in two seasonally appropriate colors: a warm red gold for the fall and an icy diamond and white gold for the winter.
