As part of a three part series of special pieces launched by Jaquet Droz each featuring an enamelling technique called Paillonnè, which uses layers of clear enamel over pieces of gold or silver to create stunning designs on the dial of the timepiece. The dial of The Petite Heure Minute is hand created with a vibrant blue grand feu dial with guillochè and a beautiful floral design. Gold chapter rings surround the hours and minutes sub-dial, with Roman numerals and blue hands creating a beautiful balance on the dial.
