KING JEWELERS FIRST RETAILER IN THE COUNTRY TO EXHIBIT ONE-OF-A-KIND JAQUET DROZ TIMEPIECES

King Jeweler’s Nashville salon is the first retailer in the United States to exhibit ten one-of-a-kind unique Swiss Jaquet Droz stone dial timepieces now through June 28 at its location in Green Hills. The Jaquet Droz Manufacture of Haute Horlogerie has long been committed to the mission of cultivating the spirit of invention, reform and excellence.

As the creator of watches, clocks and automations that were universally recognized for their elegance and finesse, Pierre Jaquet Droz (1721 – 1790) succeeded in making people forget about the phenomenal complexity of the mechanisms and movements required to actually run his masterpieces. Gifted with an entrepreneurial spirit, he established a presence in the courts of Europe, Russia, and The Forbidden City.

He opened three manufacturing facilities in La Chaux-de-Fonds, London and Geneva, with the latter being the first ever established inside the walls of the city. In the first workshop Pierre Jaquet Droz began to specialize in the production and export of timekeepers endowed with grand complications. Today, working where the company founder opened his first manufacturing workshop in 1738, Jaquet Droz watchmakers respectfully bring to his dream “to create mechanical marvels that seem to possess a soul.”

“King Jewelers is pleased to be the first in the country to exhibit these exquisite and intricate Jaquet Droz timepieces,” said David King, brand manager of King Jewelers. “The team of master watchmakers, dialmakers, engravers and other jewelry-making artisans give shape to this impressive array of models.”
