Jaquet Droz unveils the first out of the 23 unique timepieces to retrace the world of the Rolling Stones through motion.
Beside the arm of a record player that hovers over a platinum album replica (the power reserve), a scene depicts their signature instruments in miniature paintings and gold thread.
The external disc rotates up to 8 consecutive times for 30 seconds and is adorned with the albums that the collector will choose for his unique timepiece. At 9 o'clock, the iconic tongue beats rhythmically, from left to right and from top to bottom.
Each owner will be able to choose from six iconic albums from 1971 to present day. Their choice will be reproduced by hand by the craftsmen of Jaquet Droz on a disc able to rotate, on demand, around the central stage.
The rotation lasts about thirty seconds and can be operated eight consecutive times thanks to the push-piece inserted in the crown, at 3 o'clock. But that's not all: the power reserve is indicated at 8 o'clock by a cam restoring the articulated arm and the diamond of a vinyl record player. Just below, the iconic Stones logo moves up and down as the tongue simultaneously moves left and right.
