L'Heure Sélénite

One of two things moon, the other is the sun, wrote the poet Jacques Prévert. This watch Jaquet Droz dedicated to the moon shine on the wrist of women like the sun thanks to its countless diamonds adorn the dial. Great job of watchmaker and jeweler.

L’Heure Sélénite

Inside its 18-carat white gold case, the dial depicts a night sky of black diamonds scattered with white-diamond stars. Two hands of white gold stand out against a full moon of black onyx, embraced by an ivory mother-of-pearl crescent moon. Elaborating on a favourite Jaquet Droz motif, L’Heure Sélénite weaves these contrasts into a nocturnal tapestry showing rare poetic imagination.

Recognizing that women have always been inexorably attracted to star-gazing, Jaquet Droz has taken inspiration from Selena, the Greek goddess of the moon, in creating L’Heure Sélénite. The decorative design of this precious watch establishes a fine tension between light and dark, strength and subtlety. This picks up on the paradox expressed by two different aspects of Time: while it can be measured with great precision, its mystery remains unfathomable. This timekeeper is designed to take a woman to the stars while gracing her wrist with onyx, mother-of-pearl and diamonds.

Featuring a mechanical self-winding, double barrel movement, L’Heure Sélénite is worn on a rolled-edge hand made black alligator leather strap. Brought out in a Numerus Clausus of 8, this exclusive timepiece combines the very finest of materials with the magic of the night and the radiance of stars in the nocturnal heavens.
