Pierre Jaquet-Droz was one of the greatest craftsmen of the 18th century. Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1721, he was a master ... watchmaker of genius and vision who marked the history of his profession. Since Jaquet Droz joined the Swatch Group in 2000, it has continued its never-ending quest to perpetuate the history and spirit of its founder. In the summer of 2010, the company moved to its Atelier de Haute Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, allowing the brand to meet rising market demand as well as its ambitious growth targets. To this day, Jaquet Droz continues to employ exceptional craftsmanship to develop timepieces with unique character, notably including its automaton models which never cease to astound and enthrall, and its Ateliers d’Art limited editions. For more than 280 years, the brand has cultivated a spirit of excellence and innovation, passing down the values of emotion and poetry while building its future day after day.
