The Jaquet Droz Only Watch ’09
The Jaquet Droz Only Watch ’09, a unique Grande Seconde, combines a Grand Feu enamelled dial created using an 18th century technique with a case made of 21st century high tech ceramic. This unique timepiece proudly displays a rare red dial – red being the color of Monaco, the home of Only Watch. Creating the red dial required all the know-how of the most skilled craftsmen. An ivory colored enamel dial needs about ten layers to achieve the right color, and each layer must be fired at 800��. Black requires 15 layers and 15 firings, and blue 19. Red needs 22 layers. Each layer requires a new firing, and each firing creates the risk of breakage, bubbling, or both.Manuel Emch, CEO of Jaquet Droz, says it took the company 6 years to find a way to stabilize the red dial. “It is the first time we have created a completely red enameled dial and, given the complexity, it is probably the last, says Mr. Emch with a smile.Only Watch is an auction held every two years in Monaco.

I was in the audience, and the room was really, truly electric – and not just electric for a watch auction, which as you may know, means very little, but like, actually exciting. This sale was crazy, and the results were mind-blowing – the reverberations of which we still feel today in the current Daytona market, two and a half years later. Since then, we've seen other thematic sales both by Christie's – Patek 175 and Speedmaster NYC, and another by Bacs in the Glamorous Day-Date sale at his new home, Phillips – but none seemed to capture the same excitement with watch fans, or bidders. I could hypothesize about
