Patek Philippe : The Forgotten Beginnings
11 avril 2007 - Anglais
Patek Philippe & Co. is to watches what Rolls Royce is to cars synonymous with the best. This prestigious Swiss watchmaking firm is arguably the most famous manufacturer of timepieces worldwide. To own a Patek Philippe watch remains a symbol of wealth and importance : kings and queens were their clients, while other watchmakers frantically copied them, imitation being the highest form of flattery, and moreover a means to a more lucrative sale with the help of the famous Patek Philippe signature. The Patek Philippe legend continues to grow and fascinate.

The Jaquet Droz, father and son, are known to be highly important watchmakers and makers of automaton pieces of the end of the Ancien Régime. The mere mention of their name conjures up images of the remarkable androids in the Neuchâtel Musée des Beaux Arts : the Lady Timpanon Player, the Draughtsman and the Writer. They are appreciated by connoisseurs of horology for the quality, both btechnical and esthetic, of the pieces that came out of their workshop.
