The Art of Enameling

Grand Feu enameling is one of the expert techniques that constitute the signature of a Jaquet Droz watch. combining traditional production methods with latest-generation technology, the dial-makers at Jaquet Droz have kept up with the latest developments in timepieces and the technical constraints that they involve. Once a piece is finished, it is inalterable. The enamel will retain its beauty and gloss for centuries, withstanding the ravages of time indefinitely. A distinctive signature of Jaquet Droz timepieces since the 18th century, Grand Feu enameling has been reinterpreted by the brand in its contemporary collections.

It can take up to one and a half hours to prepare a color and achieve a pure hue.
I repeat this step every day so as to guarantee the same level of quality.
