Designed with the discerning traveler in mind, the Les Douze Villes collection by Jaquet Droz elegantly captures the spirit of global exploration. This particular timepiece features a white Grand Feu enamel dial, highlighted by two apertures: the city display at 6 o’clock and the local time at 12 o’clock.
At the heart of the watch lies a sophisticated jumping hours complication, where two independent rotating discs work in perfect unison to display the hour in one of twelve pre-selected cities, chosen at the wearer’s discretion.
This limited edition evokes a poetic vision of time’s universality. Whether embarking on a journey abroad or embracing the familiar comforts of home, this remarkable piece is a refined and reliable companion for wherever your travels may lead.
