A rare gemstone with a legendary aura, Astorite adorns the dial of the Jacquet Droz Petite Heure Minute just in time for the lovers’ holiday, giving birth to a new symbol of elegance, femininity and passion.

The petite Heure Minute is a watch that immediate catches the eye. With its off-center hours and minutes subdial at 12 o’clock, this iconic Swiss timepiece has become the playing field for the craftsmen of the twin-star brand: a blank page constantly reinvented through Jacquet Droz’s prism of creativity and sensitivity.

In the grand tradition of embellishing dials with precious stones that Jacquet Droz does with panache, this time Astorite is showcased – a rare gem found int eh United States. One solid, sized and hand-polished piece makes the result visually spectacular! On a pink background with gold and soliver inclusions, and black flecks and veins, the dial is transformed into an authentic piece of contemporary art worn on the wrist in 35mm. The legend of John Astor becomes part of Jacquet Droz’s own legend; Astorite, a stone named in Astor’s honor, comes from the Colorado mine that belonged to this entrepreneur who lost his life whilst on the Titanic.

Limited to 28 pieces, this rare and precious watch, the Petite Heure Minute Astorite, epitomizes feminine elegance. The pink of the Astorite reflects the richness of the rose gold case, ring and hands, and the softness of the white mother-of-pearl sub-dial. Illuminated with diamonds set in the bezel and lugs, the Petite Heure Minute Astorite immediately captivates with its clean lines in the true spirit of Jacquet Droz – where real luxury pulsates with sheer beauty.
