Several months after the Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Line of watches was officially unveiled at the Baselworld 2013, these high end jewelry timepieces are finally available in boutiques. The timing is perfect – right for Christmas and New Year!
Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Watches
Jaquet Droz’s lucky number 8 – the symbol of infinity and completeness!
Number 8 is very important for Jaquet Droz, considering the fact that many of their watches are made and conceptualized from the numeral 8. This is obvious on the case design, dial details or some symbolic elements of the watch. Jaquet Droz’s lucky number is always depicted on the dial of the Grande Seconde, and it is often found in many brand’s limited series. For the Lady 8 series, the bezel is intertwined with a gem set ribbon that accentuates the curves of the case, while either a pearl or a round precious stone highlights the coquettish nature of the watch.
