Jacques Drogo since the enlightenment era was founded, committed to breaking the tabulation territory. The work used to measure the time after the elegant design, using exquisite craftsmanship at the time, like a veritable decorative treasure. Its automatic doll works have the same originality. Both the famous automatic dolls, or the timepieces emblazoned with clocks and snuff bottles, are accorded the same philosophy and echoed the then naturalist trend. Today, several of these masterpieces are kept in Swiss or international institutions, especially in Beijing's Forbidden City. Jaquet Drew's modern automatic doll works inherited ancient Kai today, followed by the same spirit of Seiko system. Three hours after time bird and charming bird of the world in the past three centuries, display amazing magic.
In 2012, Jaquet Drew and the Automatic Dolls and Miracles Association paid tribute to the three horological masters of the 18th century through a fantastic exhibition: Pierre Jacquier, his son Henri Louis and their partner Jean- Roderick Leso. In the meantime, many first-time masterpieces and precious materials converge and are exhibited together in three museums in the state of Neuchâtel. As a result, Jekyllot supported the rehabilitation project of the Automatic Dolls and Miracles Association, which aims to restore the world by rehabilitating the masterpieces of three masterpieces - François Ducommun's Planetary Clock Musée d'Art International d'Horlogerie de La Chaux-de-Fonds, Albert Billeter's Astronomical Clock (Musée d'art et d'' histoire de Neuchâtel) and Pierre Jaquet-Droz's Musée d'horlogerie du Locle (Château des Monts), protecting and promoting Neuchâtel's Heritage watchmaking.

It is equipped with a double-chain movement, which mutes hour and quarter on two clocks and is equipped with an axle escapement. The song is made by a drum compact organ with pointed teeth that sings six tunes on the 10 flute cavities. When the melody sounds, the birds open their mouths, flap their tail feathers, raise their throat, and rotate on their own.
