- Jaquet Droz and the Béjart Ballet Lausanne-
DANCE INSPIRED TIMESPIECEs

Jaquet Droz has unveiled two limited-edition watches in collaboration with the Béjart Ballet Lausanne and watercolorist Stéphanie Barba. A portfolio of twenty sketches inspired by The Rite of Spring held an immediate attraction for the Ateliers d'Art. The brand's artisans selected two. First, "The Vulture," a magnificent opening of the dancer's body and one of the movements most characteristic of Béjart's choreography: "It takes us back to the beginning of time; Stravinsky's music is like the sound of a relentlessly pounding hammer - primitive, threatening, troubling and heavy."


    


Then, "The Chief," a sketch in red chalk taken from the moment in the ballet when two men fight to rule the tribe. "Rather like a conflict between rutting stags. The music soars, clashes, falls, resumes, concluding triumphantly when the winner becomes the new chief." Available in white gold with a 39 mm diameter and diamond-set lugs and case, together with a blue alligator strap to further enhance the diamonds, the timepiece featuring the Vulture is set to become a model of genuine distinction. The 43 mm version in red gold with a brown crocodile leather strap shows the red-chalk sketch of the Chief and will appeal to those who harbor the soul of a leader.
