Today, Jaquet Droz introduced their latest timepiece, the Tropical Bird Repeater with a scenery in the background painted on mother of pearl depicting a tropical scene with bird flying looking like paradise.  Everything on this dial is handmade and handpainted, taking many weeks by a skilled artisan at Jaquet Droz.

The birds can move their wings and make the whole dial appear to look like a painting from Gauguin.  The dial with the timeindication is an black Onyx dial.

This timepiece is once again a masterpiece with tiny automatons and a minute repeating mechanism which indicates hours, quarterhours and minutes with a cathedral gong.
