Jaquet Droz Replica Watches Petite Heure Minute Monkey

— Jaquet Droz Replica Watches celebrates the Chinese New Year with four models based on the emblematic Petite Heure Minute.

Cheap Jaquet Droz was among the first to discover the Middle Kingdom in the 18th century and was allowed to present his creations to courtiers in the very heart of the Forbidden City.
As the Chinese calendar turns to the New Year under the sign of the Fire Monkey, the firm’s artisans found some inspiration to design two new models, each available in two versions. These four models is the ideal way for the brand to celebrate both the historic ties between China and the Year of the Monkey.

For the adornment of these timepieces, Jaquet Droz looked to the legend of Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King. Sun Wukong features prominently in Chinese classical literature and remains to this day one of the most enduring characters in the culture’s folklore. Legend tells how this clever and curious animal was appointed to Swiss replica watches over the Garden of Celestial Peaches, but instead ate the sacred peaches in order to attain immortality. Chinese people traditionally give peaches as a welcome gift or a symbol of eternal life, while peach trees signify long life and their branches are used to chase away evil spirits.

For many years, the brand’s Ateliers d’Art have excelled in the realm of figurative art on watch dials, with finely drawn lines, a subtlety that allows colors to come vividly alive on the “white canvas” of ivory Grand Feu enamel, and an off-centered hours-and-minutes dial at 12 o’clock that frees up the surface.

The Petite Heure Minute Monkey depicts the animal leaping onto a branch to pick a peach, in an image suffused with poetry despite being so realistic it creates an almost palpable sense of movement. The artists have employed all of the watchmaking brand’s unique expertise to portray this symbol of wisdom and long life in the form of an Asian monkey—the emblematic species on that continent. These meticulously painted timepieces are presented in red gold cases measuring either 35 or 39 mm in diameter, with the smaller version boasting a setting of brilliant-cut diamonds. The legend of the Monkey King is also celebrated on the back by the subtle interplay created between solid forms and empty spaces, as the oscillating weight drives the self-winding mechanism of these two models.

The Petite Heure Minute Relief Monkey is adorned with a sophisticated medley of lacquer and mother-of-pearl that discloses a monkey, sculpted in gold, perched on the branch of a peach tree against a background of delicate foliage. This exquisitely fine artwork has been created in two versions. One is enclosed in a red gold case and the other in a jewel-like white gold case that sparkles daintily with the brilliance of its myriad of inset diamonds. The oscillating weight, designed to match, marries gold that is first engraved then patinated, with black onyx. Each model is covered in a domed sapphire crystal, especially designed to accommodate this three-dimensional tableau.

The scope of the Reverso’s technical content encompasses a wide range according to models and successive launches, while the sophistication of its aesthetic characteristics is interpreted across an equally broad palette of creative inspirations.
For the 85th birthday of its cult line, the Grande Maison in Le Sentier wished to make the Reverso shine in a whole new light by clarifying its structure. CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre since 2012, Daniel Riedo is presenting three stylistic expressions at the SIHH 2016 : Reverso Tribute, Reverso One and Reverso Classic. The latter is available in three sizes (small, medium and large) for both men and women. In its version with a flat caseback, the Classic collection remains the ideal model for personalization, a possibility that is a particular favorite with women, whereas the Tribute collection with its twin faces houses a mechanical brain traditionally more attuned to the expectations of Haute Horlogerie connoisseurs.

A worthy heir to a proud lineage that has seen a succession of Grande Compication models, including the Gyrotourbillon® belonging to the Hybris Mechanica ® collection, the Reverso Tribute will perpetuate the watchmaking history of the Reverso by expressing the expertise of the Manufacture with its 1,200 calibers.

The first representative of this new generation, the Reverso Tribute Calendar reinterprets the black dial of the 1931 Reverso. It is distinguished by a new design featuring powerful cheap replica watchmaking identity codes, accentuated by Dauphine-type hands, hand-applied hour-markers converging on the center, as well its cradle graced with a sunburst finish – all harmoniously arranged on colorful dials with a finely grained texture.

The wonderful world of useful complications is symbolized by the hammered moon of the complete calendar on the front; and on the back by the generous day/night indicator on the dual-time display, typical of the Reverso’s Duo function. A new Manufacture hand-wound movement has been developed for this 2016 new launch, in which the innovative aspects are not confined to the caliber alone. Until now, the time-zone of the Duetto was adjusted via a pusher placed on top of the crown, which the Jaeger-LeCoultre engineers have now managed to eliminate in order to preserve the extremely pure design of the pink gold case. This is function is now recessed at noon on the top edge and accessible by releasing the case from the cradle to reach the adjustment trigger. Horological wisdom is thus enjoying a whole new lease of life and that’s something well worth proclaiming !
