INTRODUCING: Jaquet Droz’s Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic
In the last few years, skeletonised watches have undergone a renaissance. Once overly designed and overwrought, at some point this distinctive genre segued from niche to very nice indeed. And Jaquet Droz’s Skelet-One is a great example of this new breed.
