Jaquet Droz has long been a master at creative watches and dials, using rare stones, meteorites, fine painting, automatons on the dial and other techniques. The new Petite Heure Minute Pink Flamingo watch features a black Grand Feu enamel dial background with a vibrant flamingo painted on top. Crafted in 18K rose gold, the 39mm watch is set with 248 brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial is entirely painted by hand with the aid of a microscope, and it takes at least one week to produce each one-of-a-kind piece. Just 28 pieces will be made of this watch, each sold with a certificate of authenticity from the Ateliers d’Art, signed by the artist. A self-winding mechanical movement powers the watch.
