TIMEZ | Jaquet Droz – Soaring Dragon: The Fusion of Myth and Modernity

The Jaquet Droz "Clouds Rise and Dragons Soar" automaton watch, crafted in regal red gold and cuprite, showcases nine distinct dynamic scenes. The dragon's claws hold red jasper beads, symbolizing auspiciousness and benevolence, blending tradition with innovative creativity. The undulating dragon spine, the opening and closing of its claws, the movement of its eyes and tongue, the rising and lowering of its crest, and the rotation of the jasper beads—each dynamic transformation is a tribute to the myths of Chinese tradition. Every scene pays homage to the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology.
