The Rolling Stones Automaton: the Rock ’n’ Rollest unique pieces in watchmaking history

The question is not whether the Rolling Stones are forever or not. They already are. “For anyone born after 1963, there is the Sun, the Moon. And the Rolling Stones”. Keith Richards was right. The heart beat guitarist of the 'greatest Rock'n'Roll band of all time', as the saying goes, perfectly measures the magnitude of the Stones phenomenon: planetary, immortal. In terms of fame as well as longevity, Jaquet Droz also knows music quite well. And like the Stones, Jaquet Droz also has a history of touring the world. Created in 1738, Jaquet Droz was the first watchmaker to travel the globe exhibiting his creations to the kings and emperors of Europe and East Asia.
