The Jaquet Droz Grande Heure Minute Quantieme is available in two editions. With each one, the buyer has a choice of 39mm or 43mm case. They can also decide whether they would prefer a plain argenté dial or a blue dial finished with Geneva stripes. The dials are basically inverses of each other.

Underneath the dial and visible through the caseback is Jaquet Droz's latest movement, the JD1150P. It features two barrels for 68 hours of power reserve.
