Description
Jaquet Droz often uses butterflies for their timepieces, coming from a motif that was discovered in an old book about Jaquet Droz. A skilled artist, Pierre Jaquet Droz was originally dedicated to drawing a scene involving Cupid driving a chariot pulled by a butterfly.
Butterflies often represent elements such as beauty, fragility and the transitory nature of each moment in time. In other cultures, the butterfly also symbolizes the soul. The Butterfly Journey was designed with every one of these lighthearted and spiritual thoughts in the most elegant and beautiful fashion.
