A Little Night Music

Watch collectors and aficionados admire Jaquet Droz’s Charming Bird complication over an intimate dinner.

In its Asian debut, the legendary Charming Bird was unveiled to a number of collectors and aficionados gathered for a private dinner at Odette, a recent recipient of two Michelin stars. Winner of the Grand Prix D’Horlogerie de Genève prize in the “Mechanical Excellence” category, Jaquet Droz’s Charming Bird has fascinated collectors and fans alike with its whistling bird automaton activated by air compression rather than vibrations. Guests had the opportunity to get up close with the watch and learn about its intricate movement while tucking in to a sumptuous dinner by renowned chef Julien Royer.
