Jaquet Droz timepieces are reliable and built by master watchmakers. They are decorated by true artists that put their heart and soul into each watch. Few watchmakers can compare their craftsmanship to the likes of Jaquet Droz with many of their watches using automata, breathing life into what is otherwise still art.
