Three original new models are joining the elegant and timeless Rendez-Vous collection to present another communion between fine watchmaking and high jewellery. These iconic pieces exhibit Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmaking expertise and showcase its characteristic Rare Handcrafts “Métiers Rares®” such as guillochage, gem-setting and decorative arts.
Rendez-Vous Tourbillon
An iconic complication lavishly adorned with gold and diamonds
The new Rendez-Vous Tourbillon casts a spell on dynamic women who love to surround themselves with refined pieces that glitter with understated confidence. At 6 o’clock, the tourbillon reveals its spectacularly complex system of predominantly hand-decorated gears. Seemingly suspended in mid-air, its balance wheel oscillates within the carriage to perform one revolution every 60 seconds, setting the beat of its high-precision automatic movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 978.
Rendez-Vous Celestial
A star lights up a sophisticated setting
Fitted with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 809/1, these two new interpretations of the Rendez-Vous Celestial showcase an iconic function that truly expresses the collection’s name. As it marks out its constant course, the mysterious star serves as a reminder of the time of a future rendezvous.
In addition, to mark the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), which it has sponsored since 2011, the Grande Maison is introducing a new limited edition as part of the Rendez-Vous Night & Day collection.
Rendez-Vous Night & Day Medium Tribute to Cinema
A limited-edition Rendez-Vous in the Jaeger-LeCoultre tradition
Dressed in crimson red, pink gold, and studded with diamonds, this limited edition of one hundred pieces pays homage to the glamorous world of red carpets and celebrities. The new Rendez-Vous Night & Day performs an unprecedented role with bold staging, showcasing crimson red on both its iconic function disc at 6 o’clock and on its glistening, bright red alligator-leather strap. It also appears on the winding crown in the guise of a garnet cabochon as red as film-star lips.
