Round
and full, the watch face looks like a vision in a dream... Once again, Jaquet
Droz invites the moon to cast its spell over the art of watchmaking. Reflecting
aesthetic choices in favor of purity, subtlety, classic motifs and powerful
design codes, The Eclipse Ivory Enamel celebrates the best of luxury
watchmaking and house craftsmanship, starting at the dial with its Grand Feu enameling. Specific to the
brand, this ancient technique requires our artisans to carefully monitor and perfectly
control the kiln temperature, the key to producing this disc with its unique color
and grain. This "blank page," which has a subtle beauty of its own,
features eight stars – eight being the favorite number of the house – and a
moon engraved in red gold. Inspired by 18th-century designs, the dial
recalls the origins of the brand and its penchant, from the Enlightenment
onwards, for turning to the decorative arts. The nocturnal celestial body
reveals its face from behind an index cut from white onyx. Crafted with great
delicacy, it creates a tone-on-tone effect that fully captures the lyricism of
the cycle of lunar phases. Exuding a
spirit of generosity, this scene sets the stage for a virtuoso performance by
the complications. While the day and month appear in two apertures at the top
of the dial, an elegant serpentine hand surmounted by a crescent moon points to
the date numerals, set at intervals at the edge of the red-gold case. This same
path is taken by the Lancine hours and minutes hands, whose tapered profiles
and classic lines underscore the remarkably harmonious design of this
timepiece, mounted on a precious alligator strap.
