Jaquet Droz is celebrating Valentine’s Day with the new Lady 8 Petite that has a figure eight dial and a ruby heart, which it describes as an “ode to romance in red.”A new limited-edition timepiece issued in 28 pieces has arrived at Jaquet Droz just in time for Valentine’s Day. It marks the yearly tradition at the house, which previously released the Petite Heure Minute Cuprite in a delectable shade of red and the pink hued Petite Heure Minute Astorite.The Lady 8 Petite Rubis Heart importantly has the timeless elements that are associated with the Swiss-based luxury watch manufacturer, namely the figure 8 dial that is unique to the house. The figure 8 is recreated in the new Lady 8 Petite with the aid of a ruby ball bearing, which is positioned on top of the dial, and is designed to swivel freely and mimic swiftly passing time, as per Jaquet Droz.The case of the timepiece has a diameter of 25 mm and the bezel is set with 68 diamonds, which have a value of 0.52 carats and provide stellar shine while complementing the red color of the dial. The 18-karat red gold Ardillon buckle also features 23 diamonds, whereas the dial is composed of a ruby heart. Running the show in the watch is a Jaquet Droz 615 self-winding mechanical movement. The movement features a silicon balance spring and an oscillating weight created from 18-karat red gold. With a power reserve of 38 hours and water resistance up to a depth of 30 meters, the timepiece can withstand the demands of daily use. A hand-made burgundy alligator strap with a rolled-edge is paired with the distinctly feminine timepiece.Click on the slideshow to check the timepiece.http://www.blouinartinfo.comFounder: Louise Blouin Read more
