Tropical Bird Repeater by Jaquet Droz

At a fascinating exhibition organised in Beijing, Jaquet Droz held an exclusive unveiling of its new automaton complication: the Tropical Bird Repeater.

Building on strong historical ties woven with China, the watch brand celebrated this poetic creation in the famous Shing Kong Place shopping mall housing various luxury brands including the Jaquet Droz boutique.

Within an exotic and elegant stage-setting, the most discerning watch enthusiasts were able to enjoy a first glimpse of the timepiece, an animated tableau magnified by the skills of engravers and miniature painters. The watch company’s CEO Christian Lattmann joined David Lu, VP China, in officiating at the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Tropical Bird Repeater embodies the very essence of the Maison’s expertise. Issued in an eight-piece limited edition, this work of art exalts the beauty of nature and exotic reveries. It is a fascinating and captivating model combining visual seduction with auditory delight thanks to its minute repeater striking the hours, quarters and minutes on request, in parallel with the seven automaton animations.
