So I yielded and allowed myself to acquire this Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde 39mm...
It is not a stranger to me as I used to own the 43mm version in Stainless steel. Yet this one is at another level. The black enamel dial is, Black! Combining with the Rose Gold case and hands, it is powerful. The imperfect texture of the dial gives the wa...
Well done on your latest acquisition!
You have intelligently decided to ignore my advice and I sincerely wish you many hours of pleasure with this watch
Thanks for your kind words! Believe me...
I didn't ignore your advises. After seeing your message I actually went to try on the watch for 2 more times (as well as compare how the other watches wear on my wrist) before I confirm that I feel totally comfortable with the fit! Thank you again.
I’m really happy for you my friend to see that you pulled the trigger for this nice JD. And with its 39mm, it’s much more designed for your wrist than the 43mm you owned previously
JD offers really nice timepieces with a true poetic dimension in my opinion. The combo black enamel dial and pink gold works very well. Congratulations. Enjoy and wear it in the best of your health. Best wishes Alkiro
Congratulations 🍾
And enjoy it. I’ve also been drawn to the grande seconde for some reason. It’s a very well thought out design.
Big congrats !
this JD is an beauty! Rose gold with black enamel dial - deadly combination Cheers Robin
Wow that's stunning!
I used to own one with the mineral dial but 43mm white gold got too big and heavy for me. I did not realize they have 39 mm versions as well. Yours looks amazing! Congrats!
Magnificent
I wish JD produced more versions in 39mm size. I would certainly add this to my list. Nice catch enjoy!
Better to ask forgiveness
musigny82, Usually it is better to ask forgiveness than permission. In this case, since you allowed yourself permission to acquire, Love Means Never Having to Say Sorry.... I've forgotten the Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde 39mm that used to feature a lot here...
Congrats on acquiring this beauty...
I happen to wear its big brother 'La Rattrapante' today: pink gold case and black enamel dial, too, but this one is 46mm wide... Cheers ...
Thank you Luis
It is a big watch, no doubt, you never forget it is on your wrist, but I feel opulence is part of J*D's charm. Even at 39mm, they are sparsely utilizing the dial estate they are given...
