Jaquet Droz - The Rolling Stones Automaton | Only Watch 2023

For its Rolling Stones Automaton, Jaquet Droz has designed an animation recalling children’s nightlights and spinning tops, with colours and rotating discs showcasing the legendary band’s gear – all hand-crafted. The Stones’ instruments, hand-crafted from blocks of gold, sit beneath the offset hours and minutes display on a disc coloured to resemble a vinyl LP. The scene is surrounded by a second disc that rotates when the pusher is activated, while the iconic Stones tongue rises, falls, and moves from left to right
