This brand new Jaquet Droz watch, appropriately named the Petite Heure Minute Thousand Year Light, proves to be the epitome of elegance. Created with an intricate amount of detail and color which transforms this unique timepiece into a stunning piece of wearable art. The secret to this timepiece’s illuminating appearance is mother-of-pearl, placed perfectly underneath the black-lacquer dial revealing only a subtle alcove. As the result of intaglio engraving, it allows for layers of translucent colored paint to create a beautiful floral design. Jaquet Droz’s gradually growing métiers d’art department, was greatly influenced from the mother-of-pearl and lacquer jewelry boxes forged in Korea a millennium ago. There is only a total of five variations that have been constructed for the Thousand Year Lights and each variation has been restricted to 28 pieces. The Jaquet Droz Petite Heure Minute Thousand Year Light timepiece is priced from $39,900 to $51,500.
