Jaquet Droz University: The Distinguished Watch Collections of Jaquet Droz

Widely recognized for his watch making talent, Jaquet Droz was also a man of great vision. Very soon aware of his potential beyond the Swiss border he did not hesitate to establish a Manufacture in London in order to gain easier access to the very promising market that was opening up in China. Subsequently, he consolidated his international reputation by opening a workshop in Geneva, the first ever established in that city.
