In 2017, Jaeger-LeCoultre is writing a new chapter in the story of its Rendez-Vous collection of women’s timepieces. Originally introduced by the Maison in 2012, Rendez-Vous is a collection bearing all the hallmarks of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Métiers Rares™ (Rare Crafts), impeccable timekeeping accuracy, unrivalled excellence in craftsmanship and the breathtaking artistry of its jewellery designs and settings.
The new Rendez-Vous collection, once again the result of the combined talents of the watchmakers and craftspeople of the manufacture in the Vallée de Joux, is a celebration of horology designed for women, with sophisticated materials in muted and sparkling tones reinforcing the timeless style of these elegant, noble timepieces.
Here’s a preview of the three latest timepieces from the collection coming to you next year.
Rendez-Vous Night & Day
Rendez-Vous Night & Day now reveals itself in a new light, available in three sizes and in a choice of materials, including yellow gold. Rendez-Vous Night & Day is adorned with straps of steel or ostrich leather and comes in a spectrum of colours, each alluding to different moments in the daily life of a woman, from the first gleams of daybreak to the moonlit night.
Rendez-Vous Moon
Until now the moon was reserved for pieces of the finest jewellery of the Rendez-Vous collection, but for the first time the iconic moon phase feature now adorns the newest models of the Rendez-Vous collection. The Rendez-Vous Moon Medium includes a moon phase, with its finely worked geometric guilloché appearing both on the dial and on the disk that bears the moon phase itself.
Rendez-Vous Sonatina
To provide a discreet reminder of an upcoming Rendez-Vous, Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmakers have created the Rendez-Vous Sonatina Large, complete with a new function. It chimes at the appointed hour, thanks to the mysterious little star that has marked out certain models of the Rendez-Vous line since its inception and that can be moved around the dial. The delicate tinkle of a single hammer strike is audible at the selected time.
