Jaquet Droz Eclipse Petite Heure Minute

For centuries, the pocket watch was the definitive personal timepiece.

Tucked neatly into a waistcoat and secured with a fob, it delivered the time with elegance and reliability—so long as it remained faithfully wound. The First World War shifted this paradigm, as soldiers required timekeepers that left both hands free for more urgent tasks. And so, the wristwatch emerged, destined to redefine how we carry time.

Jaquet Droz, a storied maison now under the Swatch Group, continues to let the spirit of the pocket watch inform its contemporary wristwatch designs. Consider this exquisite Pétite Heure Minute, presented in a 35mm white gold case with a diamond-set bezel and lugs, sapphire crystal, and an onion-shaped crown featuring a push-button corrector. Its luminous mother-of-pearl dial is anchored by a graceful subdial at 12 o'clock, where blued steel alpha hands sweep with refined precision.

Within the automatic Jaquet Droz calibre 2653P beats a 68-hour power reserve. Set with more than 80 precious stones, the watch pairs elegantly with a signed white leather strap and white gold pin buckle, and arrives complete with its factory accompaniments. For anyone seeking a dazzling timepiece to mark life's most memorable moments, this Pétite Heure Minute is an exquisite statement for the wrist.
