As the Chinese calendar turns to the New Year under the sign of the Fire Rooster, Jaquet Droz introduces four new models celebrating the historic ties between China and Jaquet Droz.
The Fire Rooster is the tenth animal in the Chinese zodiac and embodies all positive forces: civil virtue, combat skills, military presence, courage and a sense of protection, as well as the unique ability to mark the rising of the sun through song. For Jaquet Droz, the rooster, an animal whose relationship to the passage of time is evocative, is also part of the great naturalist tradition of the firm.
