The new Magic Lotus Automaton invites meditation and contemplation in an animated Zen garden. Fauna and flora come to life in breathtaking detail in this luxurious showcase of artisanal ode to life and perpetual new beginnings, the new Magic Lotus Automaton is an unprecedented animation for Jaquet Droz. A new development that was designed and assembled in house, this automaton features an exceptionally long animation that runs to more than four minutes. In this time a naturalist fresco unfolds with all the grace and serene beauty of a Zen eternal cycle of life is a millennia-old concept that is part of the traditions of Asia, Ancient Greece and the all major monotheistic faiths. Rebirth and reincarnation are experienced in the everyday, in the continuous movement through the seasons that is made possible by the movements of the Earth, moon and is this perpetual movement that Jaquet Droz has chosen to represent with a Lotus in its new automaton. Four flowers represent the four seasons or, for some, the stages of a mother-of-pearl button at 3 o’clock symbolizes the unopened Lotus bud. In relief upon a corolla of gold petals, it evokes the first season spring. To its left, a Lotus flower in full bloom symbolizes summer. This simple miniature incorporates a number of Jaquet Droz decorative techniques. The petals are carved from mother-of-pearl, and finished with a thin coat of translucent paint that accentuates the relief. At its heart a yellow sapphire with gold prongs represents the pistil and stamens, poised to fly away and give life in turn to new Lotus flowers. By its side, a Lotus flower fallen onto the water represents the third season, fall, carried away by the current. Finally, winter is marked at 6 o'clock by the seed pod of the aquatic plant. In this season the pod sinks to the bottom of the water to be naturally buried, thus protecting the precious seeds that will foster new Lotus flowers the following spring. Jaquet Droz sets the pod with seven diamonds that represent the seeds –visible symbols of the life glittering naturalist scene, true to the legacy established by Pierre Jaquet-Droz more than 280 years ago, is part of a circular animation. The dial of the Magic Lotus Automaton comprises three sections. The first is immobile the onyx watch dial with gold hour and minute is surrounded by a crescent-shaped fixed disk that attaches the Lotus life cycle to the piece, with reed stems and three suspended Lotus leaves in Grand Feu enamel on a white gold or red gold composition of four seasons is suspended above the third peripheral disk, which fully rotates. It represents the perpetual movement of the water, the perfection of the circle, and the continuous return to life. Bobbing gold water lilies reveal the eddies of the mobile disk houses two utterly exceptional animations. The first is a Koi, a fish famed for its longevity and a symbol of courage and perseverance. In an animation of extreme miniaturization by Jaquet Droz, it moves in the water in two different ways. The Koi flaps its tails, creating the illusion that it is swimming through the water. It also moves vertically up and down, enabling it to move in the flowing river and dive beneath the Lotus carved in gold by the brand’s Master Craftsmen, the Koi is complemented by the floating Lotus animation opposite. Mother-of-pearl petals surround an unprecedented movement at the heart of the Lotus each time it passes beneath the dial or leaves, it acquires a new stone – alternately blue sapphire, yellow sapphire and ruby. The same stone never appears in the same place from one rotation to the next. The color of the Lotus heart changes, invisibly, four times for every rotation around the river, and the same stone is never seen twice in a Magic Lotus Automaton measures 43 mm in diameter and is available in a choice of red gold or white gold limited series of 28 pieces of each. Turning over the timepiece, the bridges and oscillating weight are hand-engraved with exclusive naturalist motifs, with carp and Lotus flowers echoing the carvings on the dial side. The non-engraved elements on the movement are also decorated circular graining, drawn strokes and chamfered by hand. This new automaton is the subject of four patents pending. It features the most sophisticated dial ever produced by Jaquet Droz. The movement contains more than 500 components. The development phase alone took over three years. As a result, the Magic Lotus Automaton can present on demand an animation lasting more than four minutes, with eight full rotations of 30 seconds each. A power reserve between 8 and 9 o’clock depicts the progress of this lengthy animation, as symbolized by a hand-painted and hand-carved dragonfly in red gold. It moves downward with the power reserve of the animation, which can be fully wound by the crown. When the power reserve is empty, the dragonfly rests on a Lotus leaf, ready to soar once again over this exquisitely luxurious Zen river in a perpetual cycle of new beginnings that symbolizes a new chapter in the history of Jaquet Droz.“Some watches tell time, some tell a story”Find out more about this exceptional piece Once upon a time, on the outskirts of the watchmaking town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, there was a manufacture like few others… If the brand Jaquet Droz is renowned for its emblematic Grande Seconde collection, the creations that best capture the spirit of the great clockmaker Pierre Jaquet-Droz are without a doubt the automata. One of the most talented watchmakers and craftsmen in history, Pierre Jaquet-Droz made a name for himself creating automata that fascinated the whole of Europe and China in the 18th century. Today, the brand perpetuates this legacy with automata we can wear on our wrists. These exceptional creations associate mechanical prowess with artful craftsmanship to transform each dial into a fantastic, captivating spectacle. The Jaquet Droz automata are miniature pieces of art manufactured in a dedicated workshop of the manufacture. Just next door, in the métiers d’art atelier, each part is patiently crafted by masters of miniature art gem-setters, enamellers, engravers and painters. Presented this spring, the Jaquet Droz Magic Lotus is the latest automaton created by the brand. It portrays the eternal cycle of life with flowers representing the different seasons surrounded by a stream of flowing water. Its exceptionally long animation depicts four stages of the flower a lotus bud, a lotus flower in full blossom, a lotus flower fallen in the water and the seed pod of the aquatic plant that will foster new lotus flowers the following spring. The circular animation is made of three sections. Under the gold-framed off-centred black onyx dial is a fixed crescent-shaped disc decorated with Grand Feu enamel lotus leaves on a gold base. Below the fixed disc with the lotus leaves, a stream of water flows around the periphery of the dial enlivened with enchanting animations. A miniature koi fish moves its tail surfacing and diving beneath the lotus leaves in the flowing water while a floating white lotus flower magically changes the colour of its centre each time it floats under the dial or under the lotus leaves. The heart of the lotus flower changes colour four times each rotation – from white to blue sapphire and from yellow sapphire to ruby. The other animated element on the dial is a delightful hand-carved and hand-painted dragonfly that flies downwards to indicate the status of the 4-minute power reserve. The following animation helps illustrate the animation of this poetic automaton. One of the most captivating aspects of the Magic Lotus Automaton is the skill and technique required to craft the exquisite dial and its enchanting animation. The dial is simply the most complex dial ever produced at Jaquet Droz. It requires a rare combination of artistic crafts such as of engraving, miniature painting, enamelling and gem-setting. Countless hours of meticulous work performed in-house by expert craftsmen have made Jaquet Droz a reference in horological decorative arts. For example, the lotus leaves are engraved from 18k gold and enamelled by hand. Each of the petals is sculpted from mother-of-pearl before being hand-engraved. The centre of the flower is a prong-set yellow sapphire. The coy carp is also engraved and painted by hand. The Jaquet Droz Magic Lotus automaton is brought to life by the automatic calibre JD 2653 AT2. This high-grade calibre operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and its two barrels deliver 68 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Its regulator features a silicon hairspring and silicon pallet horns. The components of the movement are richly hand-engraved at Jaquet Droz. The exclusive automaton module is also powered by its own two barrels, providing around 4 minutes of power reserve 8 rotations of 30 seconds. The crown winds the base movement in one direction and the automaton in the other direction. The pusher integrated into the crown is used to start and stop the automaton on demand via a column wheel – just like the mechanism found in a chronograph. Last, a stop-work with a finger piece blocks the mechanism before the power reserve is exhausted, thereby ensuring the automaton always gets enough torque to run smoothly. Each of the different animations required the development of specific solutions as did the integration of the miniature mechanisms into the movement. For instance, to animate the koi fish, a feeler-spindle gets the tail to flap and racks allow the fish to bob up and down in the water. The changing colours of the heart of the floating lotus flower are also driven by racks triggering rotations of the gem-set piece. All in all, the development of the automaton has four patents-pending, and the entire movement is comprised of no fewer than 506 parts! The Magic Lotus automaton comes in a 43mm case available in a choice of red or white gold, in limited editions of 28 pieces each. The watch is presented on a dark green rolled-edge alligator leather strap and secured to the wrist with a gold folding buckle. Price is set at CHF 216,000.

The eternal cycle of life is a millennia-old concept that is part of the traditions of Asia, Ancient Greece and all major monotheistic faiths. Rebirth and reincarnation are experienced in the everyday, in the continuous movement through the seasons that is made possible by the movements of the Earth, moon and sun. Jaquet Droz has chosen to represent this perpetual movement with a Lotus in its new automaton, one which changes with the seasons. A new development that was designed and assembled at Jaquet Droz, this automaton features an exceptionally long animation that runs for more than four minutes. In this time, a naturalist fresco unfolds with grace and beauty. Ateliers d’Art Fauna and flora come to life in breathtaking detail in this luxurious showcase of artisanal techniques. Four flowers represent the four seasons or, for some, the stages of a life. A mother-of-pearl button at 3 o’clock symbolizes the unopened Lotus bud. In relief upon a corolla of gold petals, it evokes the first season spring. To its left, a Lotus flower in full bloom symbolizes summer. This simple miniature incorporates a number of Jaquet Droz decorative techniques. The petals are carved from mother-of-pearl, and finished with a thin coat of translucent paint that accentuates the relief. At its heart, a yellow sapphire with gold prongs represents the pistil and stamens, poised to fly away and give life in turn to new Lotus flowers. By its side, a Lotus flower fallen onto the water represents the third season, fall, carried away by the current. Finally, winter is marked at 6 o'clock by the seed pod of the aquatic plant. In this season, the pod sinks to the bottom of the water to be naturally buried, thus protecting the precious seeds that will foster new Lotus flowers the following spring. Jaquet Droz sets the pod with seven diamonds that represent the seeds – visible symbols of the life glittering within. Automaton The dial of the Magic Lotus Automaton comprises three sections. The first is immobile the onyx watch dial with gold hour and minute hands. It is surrounded by a crescent-shaped fixed disk that attaches the Lotus life cycle to the piece, with reed stems and three suspended Lotus leaves. This composition is suspended above the third peripheral disk, which fully rotates. Two utterly exceptional animations breathe life into the timepiece through a scene filled with poetry. The first is a Koi, a fish famed for its longevity and a symbol of courage and perseverance. In an animation of extreme miniaturization by Jaquet Droz, it moves in the water in two different ways. The Koi flaps its tails, creating the illusion that it is swimming through the water. It also moves vertically up and down, enabling it to move in the flowing river and dive beneath the Lotus leaves. Hand carved in gold by the brand’s Master Craftsmen, the Koi is complemented by the floating Lotus animation opposite. Mother-of-pearl petals surround an unprecedented movement at the heart of the Lotus each time it passes beneath the dial or leaves, it acquires a new stone – alternately blue sapphire, yellow sapphire and ruby. The same stone never appears in the same place from one rotation to the next. The color of the Lotus heart changes, invisibly, four times for every rotation around the river, and the same stone is never seen twice in a row. Movement The Magic Lotus Automaton measures 43 mm in diameter and is available in a choice of red gold or white gold limited series of 28 pieces of each.

It features the most sophisticated dial ever produced by Jaquet Droz. The movement contains more than 600 components. The development phase alone took over three years.

It moves downward with the power reserve of the animation, which can be fully wound by the crown. When the power reserve is empty, the dragonfly rests on a Lotus leaf, ready to soar once again over this exquisitely luxurious Zen river in a perpetual cycle of new beginnings that symbolizes a new chapter in the history of Jaquet Droz.
