New arrival from my favorite brand!
Even though I only own one other Jaquet Droz, the brand immediately became my favorite after picking up my first one four or five years ago after an exhaustive search for a discounted model I loved. It was only a matter of time before I’d settle on the next model. It’s a Grande Heure Minute, 43 mm, blued hands, silver dial although in some light it appears white, part of it’s appeal for me.
I’ve wanted a three hand watch for some time, no date. My criteria was, must be from JD, with a somewhat vintage, classic, simple look, but with a modern twist. I don’t think I could have found a more perfect watch.
An interesting coincidence (or in terms I prefer, an unlikely statistical anomaly, I don’t believe in coincidence), the original papers show it was sold to the original owner on January 10, 2023 and it was delivered to me yesterday, January 10, 2024, exactly one year from its original purchase date.

Huge congrats! This is a very special one, even or especially for Jaquet Droz!
Enjoy it to the max! Cheers, Alex
Thanks! Yes, I agree, although it’s very restrained for the brand, especially when considering their famous automata pieces, it still has that JD look.
I considered the well known and popular Grande Seconde models but it seemed to me to be too predictable. And I’d love to have a Skelet-One like yours, but that’s not happening any time soon.
Yours is really great!
A three hander that is soooo JD and still, different. Now you can enjoy the newcomer and for a Grande Seconde of some sort, there is time and offerings enough, even in the more distant future.
Yep, this is fantastic.
Elegant, understated, and a pop with the blue hands. A yes from me and a congratulations to you!
Oh I was waiting for that and as expected it didn’t disappoint
It’s a beautiful three hander, very classy and elegant. I believe you above all deserve this wonderful piece and I wish for you to use it for many many years to come with your beautiful family in happy and healthy days. Thanks for sharing with us
