Jaquet Droz product data

Founded in 1738 by the brilliant Swiss watchmaker Pierre Jaquet-Droz, the maison quickly became a legend in the Age of Enlightenment. Jaquet-Droz captivated European and Chinese royal courts not only with precious musical watches but with his revolutionary humanoid automata—The Writer, The Musician, and The Draughtsman—which are considered marvels of mechanical art. This legacy of astonishment and mechanical poetry continues to define the brand's identity. Today, as part of the Swatch Group, Jaquet Droz perpetuates its founder's vision from its workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
