If you are already bummed out that the holiday season is drawing to a close, take solace in the fact that companies are already instructing you to look forward to the next commercial holiday: Valentines. Jaquet Droz introduces a limited edition Valentines timepiece, of which only eight will be produced.

This special version of the Grande Seconde medium draws inspiration from the very sources of 18th century Romanticism. Jaquet Droz capture this eternal celebration of love with a sensual explosion of red lighting up the hands and bracelet with passion and intensity. Within the dial in the shape of a figure of 8, symbolizing eternal joy, born of the infinite union of two interlocking circles, just like the yin and the yang, a delicate heart beats the rhythm of the seconds, in perfect synchronization with the emotion that enflames lovers. Finished in ivory-coloured “grand feu” enamel, one of the techniques that distinguish this exceptional brand, this watch will appeal to every woman, who will yearn to have it on her wrist.

Produced in a “numerus clausus” of 8, the Grande Seconde médium Saint-Valentin illustrates the perfect harmony of this romantic date by offering an exquisitely feminine version, 39 mm in diameter.
