Jaquet Droz(previously mentioned) is often good for a classically styled watch, and their new Grand Heure GMT does not disappoint. They've taken the F.Piguet 1150 caliber upon which most of their watches are based and reworked the display to be only a 24-hour hand, as well as adding a second 24-hour hand for another time-zone. The rose-gold hand is local time and the blued-steel one is the other zone, both turning over an actual hard-fired enamel dial of an ivory color. Both hands` are styled as legs of an old-fashioned pair of dividers, possibly to tap into that lucrative Freemason market. As is usual for JD, the case is a rather large, but flat 43mm by about 12mm and the strap is alligator with rolled edges.
