Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic for Only 2019

Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic for Only 2019

Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic — a piece that marks a watershed in the centuries-old history of the Grande Seconde, the iconic model of Jaquet Droz. In this one-of-a-kind edition, the rail-track, the gold hour, minute and seconds hands, and the rolled-edge hand-made strap are all reinterpreted in red. Contrasting with the black ceramic of the case and hour ring, red has been chosen as the color of love — and the flag of Monaco, where the charity is based.
 
“Time is money,” wrote Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States of America. Jaquet Droz has once again chosen to donate its time to Only Watch to help the celebrated charity auction raise as much money as possible. The brand is delighted to donate a one-of-a-kind piece: a Grande Seconde numerus clausus 01/01

that will go under the hammer in Geneva on November 9th.
