Jaquet Droz – the Enchanted Journey Exhibit

Jaquet Droz is celebrating 275 years of history with a traveling exhibition – the Enchanted Journey Exhibit – that after Moscow, Basel, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau, will stop at The Shops at Crystals in Las Vegas.

This journey through time sheds light on the relationship between Classic 18th century and contemporary works. Timeless icons, unique automatas and exclusive models from its artistic workshop, reveal the beauty of hand engraved and miniature painted legendary timepieces. The most innovative timekeeping mechanisms sit side-by-side with the simple elegance of enamel or the luster of precious stones and pearls, and magnificent minerals used in custom-made dials.

For the amazement of visitors, on opening day, a Jaquet Droz’ master artist will be demonstrating the skillful artistry of hand engraving and miniature painting on watch dials at the Tourbillon Boutique.

These most outstanding Jaquet Droz creations can be admired from September 30th to November 12th, 2014. In this case, the saying that “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” won’t hold, as the exhibition will continue its travel to the Middle East and Europe.

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
