Jaquet Droz Petite Heure Minute 'MOP'

For centuries, the pocket watch defined the art of personal timekeeping.

Carried in a waistcoat and secured with a fob, it served as both tool and ornament, reliably marking the hours—so long as it was diligently wound. The First World War brought change, as practicality demanded a timekeeper worn on the wrist, leaving hands free for duty. From that moment on, the wristwatch became the new standard.

Jaquet Droz, a historic maison now part of the Swatch Group, continues to honor those origins by weaving pocket watch influence into modern design. The Petite Heure Minute is a striking example, encased in 35mm stainless steel with a diamond-set bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and an onion crown featuring a push-button corrector. Its iridescent blue mother-of-pearl dial shimmers with eight white gold stars, balanced by an off-center subdial at 12 o’clock where polished steel hands track the hours and minutes.

Inside, the automatic Jaquet Droz calibre 2653P offers a 68-hour power reserve, ensuring precision and reliability. Adorned with more than 160 diamonds, the watch is fitted to a stainless steel bracelet accented with two additional diamonds—a tribute to the brand’s iconic twin stars. Delivered with its complete factory set, this Petite Heure Minute stands as both a mechanical achievement and a radiant companion for life’s most celebrated occasions.
