PIERRE JAQUET-DROZ MECHANISM - The Writer

Pierre Jaquet-Droz is a Swiss watchmaking brand, which originates from 18th century, and which have designed a series of perfect automatic mechanisms…

Along with his sons, the founder of this brand had developed his products named The Writer, The Draughtsman and The Musician, which are actually three perfectly complex devices, which have fascinated all people in his times. One of them, The Writer, has gained a modern and contemporary redesign. Therefore, it was revived and is now available for purchase.

This small mechanism is about the size of an average smartphone, and it has a unique, seemingly simple purpose: signature reproduction. The thing that makes this device impressive is that it reproduces your signatures perfectly, without any cameras, sensors or any other electronic components. This machine is hand winded, and it has a four digit security code, which moves the hand and the pen, when activated.

Of course, this mechanism is not meant for regular practice use. No one really need help to sign any documents, and many important people fear misuse of such machine. This beautiful object is meant and dedicated to collectors, who will know how to appreciate the skill and ingenuity which was invested in it.
