BLOSSOMING GENIUS

Refined femininity and astounding automaton aren’t usually enunciated in the same breath for most luxury watch brands. But this where the virtuosity of the Jaquet Droz Ateliers d’Art comes into play with the Lady 8 that comes in the form of a blossoming lotus flower. The Lady 8 Flower is made up of two superimposed circles creating a figure of eight, not just an emblematic number for the brand but a symbol of harmony, perfection and infinity. While the upper circle reveals a lotus flower under a sapphire crystal dome, the lower circle features a delicate butterfly with outspread wings. The watch is available in two versions: one where the butterfly’s wings are painted and engraved in translucent red enamel on a guilloché background and the other features a butterfly set with blue sapphires and portrayed against snow-set diamonds. With each petal individually enameled or engraved to give that perfect satiny glow, that is what you call a photo finish. Price On Request; Available at brand boutiques
