Pierre Jaquet Droza Creator Of Automata

One of my friend shared a link with me about the Pierre Jaquet Droza.  So i want share some thing about Jaquet and his sons and their work.



Jaquet is known as Father Charles Babbage. Jaquet is Swiss born Watchmaker and he is more famous for his three automatic dolls The Writer, The Draughtsman, The Musician. Jaquet created these three between 1768 and 1774 with the help of his two sons (Henri Louis and Jean Frederic Leschot). These three automata are best and oldest examples of Computer.

Jaquet lived in Europe, London and Geniva to sell his watches. And specially he designed these three automatic dolls to promote and marketize his Watches. He received so much appreciation from the Kings of Europe, China, India, and Japan.

All his master pieces are still working perfectly. These three dolls are well known as "Jaquet Droza Automata" are now accommodated at history museum in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
