Embodying a combination of luxurious elegance and everyday wearability with its distinctive design, the Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde SW ref. J029020270 boasts a 41mm x 11mm stainless steel case with a diamond-set bezel that surrounds its bright silver Mother-of-Pearl stone dial that showcases Jaquet Droz’ meticulous attention to detail and novel approach to watchmaking throughout its construction. This dial features a small sunken subdial at 12 o’clock where its hour and miniutes are displayed, with a larger sunken subdial at 6 o’clock where its seconds are displayed. Powered by the automatic Jaquet Droz cal. 2663 movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, comprising 30 jewels, and providing an approximate 68-hour power reserve, the Grande Seconde SW is as mechanically impressive as one would expect for a relatively simple piece of horological engineering. Launched as the first ladies piece within the Grande Seconde SW collection in 2016, a collection that debuted in 2008, the ref. J029020270 is elegantly offered on a plum purple leather strap with a stainless steel deployant buckle, making it an ideal everyday watch. The Grande Seconde SW exemplifies Jaquet Droz' commitment to blending artistic design with technical precision and a unique style of watchmaking that has come to represent the brand and its sense of design and functionality.

Combining an aesthetically unique twist on a simple time-only display and marrying it with Jaquet Droz' typically avant-garde sense of style, the Grande Seconde SW is a wonderfully exuberant timepiece.
