Jaquet Droz - Rolling Stones Automaton Watch 2023

With its participation in the highly anticipated 2023 edition of Only Watch, Jaquet Droz has once again stretched the limits of what is possible in the world of horology. Watchmakers from all around the globe have gathered for this special occasion to benefit Duchenne muscular dystrophy research.

Swiss watchmakers Jaquet Droz made a special watch in memory of the occasion, one that celebrates the freedom of youth while also paying respect to the Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones Automaton - Only Watch 2023 watch combines technical and artistic excellence, summing up the company's commitment to pushing the limits of creativity.

The Rolling Stones Automaton - Only Watch 2023 wristwatch is immediately attractive because to its colourful, playful design. By remembering the magic of childhood, Jaquet Droz was able to masterfully combine mechanical precision with artistic expression. The misaligned hour and minute hands at twelve o'clock set the stage for a scene in which the Rolling Stones' instruments are shown to be hewn from solid gold slabs. Each instrument is carefully painted before being placed on a black vinyl-colored disc in an effort to conjure nostalgia for rock 'n' roll's heyday.

A simple click of a button brings to life the Rolling Stones Automaton - Only Watch 2023. The Rolling Stones' iconic tongue logo moves around on a moving disc within the watch. The tongue rises and falls as it swings from left to right, much like the band's iconic logo. This working portion fills the watch with a feeling of pleasure and energy, much like a child's reaction to watching their favourite toy come to life.

Jaquet Droz's The Rolling Stones Automaton - Only Watch 2023 is a deft optical deception.

The battery life is shown on a cam at nine o'clock that looks like a record player's tonearm and stylus. Turning the cam creates a multicoloured spiral with a seductive dance of colours that mesmerises onlookers. This spectacle takes its audience back to their childhoods with the same magical effect as a child's spinning top. The whole spiral has been meticulously hand-painted to match the Only Watch 2023 palette, demonstrating the brand's adherence to artisanal production and the use of natural hues.

The secret may be found deep within the Rolling Stones Automaton - Only Watch 2023. As a recognisable symbol of the Rolling Stones, their tongue glows gently in the dark. This little touch adds a layer of magic and intrigue to the watch, taking the wearer back to the enchanting world of their childhood imagination.
