The story started centuries ago, on the Venetian Island of Murano, where an artisan accidentally spilt some small shards of metal in the vitrous paste, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and gave rise to aventurine glass. The word ‘avventura’ means adventure in Italian, and till date it is one of the most fascinating materials to work with.
The Jaquet Droz Sunstone collection has radiant gold coloured dials made of Aventurine glass with shimmering flecks of gold scintillate.
The Grande Seconde Cerclee sunstone collection is issued in a limited edition of 88 pieces. The watch has a sunstone dial with two interlocked mother of pearl sub dials that form an outline of the number 8. The 39mm wide case is made of 18 karat red gold and it has a serial number etched on the see through case back. The reverse side of thewatch has its self winding mechanical movement. The mechanism is fitted with a 22 karat white gold oscillating weight and due to its double barrel ensures around 68 hours of power reserve. The dial of of the Lady 8 is caught up in a flurry of golden specks that give it a delicate and feminine look. Jaquet Droz has begun the year with innovation , beauty and individuality with these little golden flecks. It feels like you have the universe on your wrist with this stunning collection.
