History Behind the Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Collection

The History of Jaquet Droz Lady 8 dates back to 2013, the release of the brand’s first-ever ladies’ watch. The 8 symbolizing the brand’s number throughout the years can be seen evident in this collection where the casing is shaped like the number itself. 2 years after the launch of the Lady 8, a new and breathtaking look was released featuring a mechanically driven automaton as seen in the blossoming lotus flower design of the Lady 8 Flower. 

While Jaquet Droz was well known for its twin stars that pay homage to women, the Lady 8 Flower was the continuation of the enchanting story of the feminine watch line and gave birth to more refined models like the Lady 8 Petite, a nod to the original Lady 8 design but with a contemporary style and stunning diamond and gems. It is smaller in shape and has two versions that feature a double-wrap strap. These simple elements were brought together to continue the legacy of producing a classy and luxurious timepiece for women.
