Jaquet Droz - BaselWorld 2013: Petite Heure Minute

Jaquet Droz has created its first women's model entirely in steel, adorned with a bezel set with diamonds (two also shine on the bracelet) and a richly shaded mother-of-pearl dial, against a background of eight rhodium-plated stars (the brand's lucky number). The integrated steel bracelet features a fine weave of differently sized links, elegantly playing with the asymmetry of the lines.
