02 THE MIDAS TOUCH

You don’t need flashy complications to make an impact on an anniversary. Just look at Jaquet Droz’s 280th-anniversary piece, the Grande Seconde Tribute. It retains the exact same design as the first one launched in 2002 (and the pocket watch that inspired it), and the overlapping figure-eight subdials and creamy enamel face prove that it’s a formula that still works remarkably well. The major difference here is the case material – it’s the first time Jaquet Droz has released a watch in yellow gold. The self-winding 43mm watch is limited to 88 pieces.
