Jaquet Droz

ABOUT THE BRAND

Jaquet Droz is one of the oldest and most prestigious watchmaking brands in the world. Established in 1738 by Pierre Jaquet-Droz, one of the greatest craftsmen of the 18th century, the brand has been creating unique, exceptionally crafted collections that remain true to its founder’s legacy for nearly three centuries.

For almost 300 years, Jaquet Droz has placed time under the banner of astonishment, excellence, and constantly renewed creativity. The brand has also infused this philosophy with a rare sense of exclusivity. In the 18th century, the Jaquet-Droz family were pioneers in the art of luxury decoration — enameled cases adorned with paillons, miniature enamel paintings, and intricate sculpted and engraved ornamentation all contributed to their widespread acclaim.

From pocket watches to urns, snuffboxes, and mechanical singing bird cages, their masterpieces were richly decorated and admired across Europe. Today, Jaquet Droz, recognized by its iconic twin stars, continues this tradition by offering discerning clients the opportunity to customize their timepieces — paying tribute to the brand’s deep heritage of artistic mastery and personal expression.
