Jaquet Droz unveils its interpretations for the year of the snake

Pieces that pay homage to snakes are rarities. Jaquet Droz has not created one for 12 years. Today, the atelier is unveiling two unique interpretations for the next Chinese astrological year: one with a mother-of-pearl dial and one on a Sonora Sunrise mineral dial. And there is a first: they do not have a single hand. Master craftsmanship has been taken to an unprecedented level. The solid gold curved body of a serpent is enamelled in graduated colours punctuated by a motif designed by John Howe; friend of the brand and the creator of artwork for the Lord of the Rings novels.
