A Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde in white ceramic, with a mother-of-pearl dial of two overlapping sub-dials, a red seconds hand and an automatic movement.
The Piece
Jaquet Droz traces its name to Pierre Jaquet-Droz, who founded the house in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 1738, and the Grande Seconde, with its two overlapping circles, is its signature design.
The upper circle carries the hours and minutes in black Roman numerals, and the lower circle holds the seconds, marked by a slender red hand. Both lie on a mother-of-pearl dial that shifts between pearl white and pale grey with the light. The case and bezel are white ceramic, and the display back shows the movement and its rose-toned rotor. The strap is white rubber with a steel folding clasp. The movement was inspected before sale, and its average daily rate was measured within ten seconds.
The case is 44 mm (1.73 in) across, excluding the crown.
