Jaquet Droz and Chantal Thomass combine disruptive watchmaking with unconventional pop art fashion. A free personality, explorer of avant-garde trends, who breaks taboos and barriers in the name of a constantly changing art: what applies to Chantal Thomass also applies to Jaquet Droz. The watchmaker and the fashion icon were destined to meet. The result of this union is a unique piece, an automaton set with diamonds and minerals that is a hypnotic manifestation of masterful craftsmanship and fashion.
Chantal Thomass is unique, as is her machine. Their commitment to the project was comprehensive. The creator personally visited Jaquet Droz’s studios several times. Having never considered a watch before, she now wanted to know everything about it: history, heritage, mechanics, decoration, but also to get to know the craftsmen who breathe life into each unique Jaquet Droz piece. In addition to two physical trips to Switzerland, the Parisian stylist was also in regular contact with the watchmakers via Studio 8. This online space allows the customer to follow the development of their project in almost real time. Also through Studio 8, Chantal Thomass defined with rare precision the specifications for her piece, which would reflect both her visual universe and her rebellious spirit, similar to that of Jaquet Droz.
Chantal Thomass said: “Jaquet Droz is a company that knows how to stand out by daring to question the expected and go off the beaten path to push the boundaries of watchmaking. Working with Jaquet Droz means working with excellence, sublimated by the soul and talent of the men and women – incomparable craftsmen – of these incredible ‘creators of wonders’! This creative alchemy has given life to the ‘Ronde des Baisers’ clock, whose aura exudes both hypnosis and poetry: it is a rare object that celebrates all kisses – stolen, given, lost, hidden or kept in the heart! It combines everything I love: a subtle play between poetry and discipline, between romance and geometry, characterized by a wave of ‘heart lips’ against the background of an optical grid pattern. The colors I appreciate – black, white and of course accents of pink and red – while diamonds set in a ribbon offer a touch of delicate lace. This ‘Ronde des Baisers’ is a precious tourbillon, an intimate creation that reflects my own universe: bold, sophisticated and resolutely ‘me’.”
