Subtle mix of cool elegance

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde is immediately identifiable by its two off-centred dials that describe a figure-eight with great purity of line.

A uniquely incomparable timepiece since its inception, it is regularly reinterpreted by the brand’s artisans.

In 2008, Jaquet Droz launched the Grande Seconde SW, a sporty reworking of this iconic model that has only become more successful over the years. A new version will enhance the line in 2014, complete with alligator leather straps and new Côtes de Genève decoration to give the Grande Seconde SW an ever greater aura of luxury.

The famous Côtes de Genève ornamental pattern typical of Swiss watchmaking has been used on the dials of a new model in anthracite gray. A series of regular lines, the pattern highlights the watch’s features and gives it unprecedented depth. The traditional rubber and metal strap of the Grande Seconde SW has also been replaced by the fine luster of an alligator leather strap in a color to match the dial.

Jaquet Droz is delighted to unveil the several other variations of this watchmaking icon at Baselworld 2014.
