Do N’t Wait For Meteors Meteorites Are In Your Hands Jaquet Droz Eccentric Large Seconds Hand
JAQUET DROZ presents two unique Grande Seconde Off-Centered models, each equipped with a meteorite and a laminated stone faceplate. Each timepiece contains timeless, immortal stones that are worn between the wrists. The only elements that humans cannot fully measure are space and time. The origin and end of time and the universe may be an eternal mystery to humans. Human beings have no control over time and space, so their interest in time and space is enduring.
Jacques de Loose’s eccentric large seconds hand series has added new strength. The brand specially selects meteorites to process them into the watch face, and uses the natural geometric abrasion marks on the surface of the meteorite as the watch face decoration.
It is no coincidence that Jacques Dro combines time and space into timepiece creation. Every Jacques de Ronaldo contains exquisite craftsmanship. The new Grande Seconde Off-Centered Meteorite demonstrates the brand’s continuous expansion of new artistic realms and enhances the spirit of poetic realm. Each watch is limited to 88 pieces and is available in 39mm, 39mm diamonds and 43mm. Like pure meteorites that decorate the faceplate, these timepieces are precious masterpieces.
Meteorite Eccentric Second Hand Watches are available in 39mm, 39mm diamond and 43mm models, each limited to 88 pieces
The watch face is cut and shaped by hand, which requires rare and refined techniques. Meteorites are fragments of asteroids that penetrate the atmosphere without breaking up. The meteor trajectory is witness to this long journey. Most meteors are ablated before reaching the surface, and only a few can fall to the ground. Humans then probed the debris on the earth’s surface, collected meteorites fragments large enough for processing, and then cut them into discs, which were used as the faceplate of the eccentric large second hand watch. This process was a difficult challenge.

Meteorites are composed of iron and nickel and have extremely high density and hardness. Outstanding master craftsmen must adopt patience and rigorous attitude, adopt unique cutting technology, and carry out fine to micron finishing to create a flawless meteorite face plate. Each timepiece is unique. The pattern on the meteorite originated from the galaxy’s journey to the galaxy, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, and the origin of its geometric form is unknown.
In addition to the meteorite material, Jacques de Dross selected another layered stone to create another new work. Three types of layered stones with different textures and colors are matched with a rose gold case. The dimensions are 39 mm, 39 mm diamonds and 43 mm. Limited to one each, very precious
Jacques Dro has a long experience in making gem face plates, which can show the beauty of this mineral treasure. This exquisite craftsmanship is also reflected in the Grande Seconde Off-Centered Stromatolite. This unique and extraordinary stone structure is different from meteorites. Layered stones are fossils formed by sediments, which have biogenic characteristics, that is, they contain both fossils and living things, so they have promoted the development of life on earth and are also one of the oldest fossil relics (3.5 billion years).
The new stacked eccentric large seconds hand series pays tribute to the cornerstone of life on earth. Only three watches are launched, which are 39mm, 39mm diamonds and 43mm. Just like patina, jasper and other mineral materials, these masterpieces are inspired by the universe and the source of life on earth, showing the brand’s amazing artistic accomplishments.
