Jaquet Droz has unveiled a new minute repeater, the Bird Repeater, in homage to its founder Pierre Jaquet-Droz and his love of ornithology and automata.

One of the latest watch models from the famous watchmaker is called Jaquet Droz Eclipse Onyx Watch. The elegant timepiece has its dial made out of black onyx.

The most interesting features of the watch include the moon-phase complication beautifully illustrated through 8 star-shaped motif and one moon motif. Together they create a picture of moon surrounded by stars.

The Swiss watch maker brand Jaquet Droz is celebrating the Chinese New Year with the Petite Heure Minute Dragon.

Clearly intended for the Chinese market, this is a limited edition of 88 pieces featuring a painted scene of two imperial dragons fighting over a pearl.

They are set against an ivory background of Grand Feu enamel. Subtle touches of red enhance the powerful imagery of the drawing.

The Jaquet Droz Seule Aiguille watch is one of the most distinctively elegant timepieces to debut at Basel this year.
