Swiss watchmaking brand, Jaquet Droz celebrates femininity and fashion, with their wonderful Lady 8 Flower Collection, which is a true reflection of their artistic design and art. This very feminine Lady 8 watch, like most Jaquet Droz pieces, comprises two superimposed circles resembling the numeral eight: these represent harmony, perfection, and infinity. Within the larger case sits the dial’s centerpiece – delicate butterfly with wings outspread.
