Watches by Jaquet Droz

The Jaquet Droz brand was founded in 1738 by Pierre Jaquet Droz in La Chaux-de-Fonds and is a Swatch Group watch brand. The history of the Manufacture, marked by elegance and travel, continues to shape the brand’s philosophy today. The legendary machines of the manufacturer of watches, pendulums and mechanically driven figures, which for example wrote a word on a piece of paper, were world-famous and for which their inventor almost burned at the stake for alleged witchcraft. Today’s models embody classical style, understatement and value at the same time. The Swiss watch brand places great emphasis on the development of its art studios, “Ateliers d’Arts”: Miniature painting, carving and engraving or the paillonnée enameling play the leading role on some exclusive watch models.
