- Summary
The 24 Arabic numerals that circle the Grand Feu enamel dial trace each moment of the day in two separate locations.
Never before has a watch shown two time zones with such clarity and ease. This innovative display is enhanced by the two hands in a compass-like formation.
The red gold hand shows local time whereas the blued steel hand gives time in the wearer's country of choice. By opting for the unconventional system of a single crown to adjust both hands, Jaquet Droz has succeeded in making the Grande Heure GMT simplicity itself.
