When you say Jaquet Droz, you are not only saying exquisite Swiss craftsmanship and tantalizing timeless design, but you are also saying Grande Seconde Skelet-One. This model has become one of the pillars of the brand, with its recognizable design that showcases all Jaquet Droz has to offer in a high-end, sportive package. To celebrate this collection’s success, the brand is now introducing three new versions of the Grande Seconde Skelet-One that take this exceptional watch into urban atmospheres.

Jaquet Droz kept the key elements of the Grande Seconde Skelet-One that made this watch such a success but cleverly played with the details. Available in green, sky blue, and yellow, are they all powered by Jaquet Droz manufacture caliber 2663 SA. This hand-crafted movement features a skeletonized main plate, bridges, and oscillating weight. It is fitted with a silicon balance spring and pallet wheels and offers, thanks to two mainspring barrels, a power reserve of 68 hours. The green and sky blue models both feature a 41.5mm large ceramic case, with white gold hour markers and screws, while the hands are in the corresponding color of the hand-made strap of high-tech fabric. It changes the character of the Grande Seconde Skelet-One entirely as we have come to know it, as these creations amplify its contemporary spirit.

The yellow version is slightly different from the other two, as it features a case made from plasma ceramic. Also, the hands, hour markers, and screws on the dial side are made from 18 karat red gold. This gives this version of the Grande Seconde Skelet-One a stunning contrast, creating an urban elegance that is contemporary and timeless at the same time.

Each of the three versions is limited to just 28 pieces, ensuring exclusivity, and retail for $26,300. For availability, please check Jaquet-Droz.com
