THE IMPRESSIONIST

As much as its Automaton timepieces get regularly publicisedp in horology publicationspu the globe over (this year’s Loving Butterfly AutomatonAu is extraordinary), Jaquet Droz is equally famed for its exquisite enamelling, as seens in the newest renditions of its PetiteP Heure Minute. Featuring minia miniature paintings of a lion, a flamingoflaming and a koi carp, the three timepiece timepieces in this series come alive through vibrantv colours set against black Grand Feu enamel. Intricate brushstrokes result in an artworka that’s worthy of the Impressionist canon.
