These exclusive variations are the latest additions to the Astrale family. Paying homage to astronomy \u2013the predecessor of watchmaking\u2013 the Astrale collection showcases a minimalist expression of the art of watchmaking in which only the essential remains.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/jaquetdrozgdeheureminute-4.jpg\" alt \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/jaquetdrozgdeheureminute-3.jpg\" alt \/><\/p>\n<p>The two latest Grande Heure Minute watches are no exception.Each is housed in a 43 mm steel case and powered by a high precision self-winding movement: the Jaquet Droz 1169.Si caliber. \u201cSi\u201d refers here to silicon, a key element in contemporary watchmaking that is expertly put to use in this caliber. Hard-wearing, rust-proof, non-magnetic and unaffected by temperature fluctuations, silicon endows the balance spring and pallet lugs with stellar longevity and astronomical precision. Thanks to a 68-hour power reserve this performance can be maintained for almost three days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/jaquetdrozgdeheureminute-2.jpg\" alt \/><\/p>\n<p>The minimalism of the two pieces is striking. Only the essential is left on the dial: hours, minutes and seconds. Discreet motion work simply tracks the minutes. Jaquet Droz demonstrates here its masterful attention to the tiniest detail: dainty rhodium-plated studs are employed as five-minute markers, introducing a barely perceptible relief, while a rhodium-plated ring lends the motion work a subtle sheen. This composition inspired by the stars is punctuated by the brand\u2019s signature off-centered seconds hand at 9 o\u2019clock. Ringed by an off-centered circle, the hand suggests the revolution of a celestial body in a nod to the Astrale collection.<\/p>\n<p>These Grande Heure Minute are available in a choice of a slate gray dial with blued hands, or a silver-plated dial with rhodium-plated hands. This duo is a sleek new tribute to the magic of the night skies, dreams of galaxies and the immeasurable poetry of the infinite.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cSome watches tell time, some tell a story.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A refined tribute to astronomy and an ode to stellar poetry, two new variations of the Grande Heure Minute watch enrich the Astrale collection of the Jaquet Droz manufactory with a new glow. \u201cPerfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add but when there is nothing more to remove.\u201d This quote from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5433,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[19],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
