Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new interpretation of the Rendez-Vous Jewellery Tourbillon epitomises its philosophy of uniting aesthetic beauty with technical virtuosity.
A sunray-brushed dial in a serene and distinctive shade of blue-green creates a rich complement to the 39mm 18 ct pink gold case. A halo of brilliant-cut diamonds illuminates the timepiece and a fascinating tourbillon display transforms it into a horological jewel.
The Rendez-Vous collection was created to express modern femininity through a distinctive and pure aesthetic, showcasing mechanical calibres with added complications – a groundbreaking concept at a time when it was still rare for women’s watches to have mechanical complications.
The new Rendez-Vous Jewellery Tourbillon is distinguished by a signature dial in ‘Serenity Blue’ – a unique blue-green colour that appeared for the first time in 2023. As the wearer moves her wrist, the colour appears to vary in tone and intensity depending on the angle and reflection of the light, metamorphosing from soft silvery-grey through glowing aquamarine to rich serenity blue – an effect enhanced by the sunray finish.
Visible through the aperture in the 6 o’clock position on the dial, the tourbillon escapement makes one revolution every 60 seconds. Designed to counteract the effect of gravity on the accuracy of the timekeeping mechanism, the tourbillon also offers a fascinating view into the mechanics of the watch as it spins on its axis in an endlessly mesmerising dance. A finely polished pink gold hand with an arrow-head tip indicates the running seconds as it traces the circle of diamonds set around the aperture.
Like every Jaeger-LeCoultre movement, the high-precision automatic Calibre 978 was designed, assembled and decorated within the Maison’s fully integrated Manufacture. The minute detail of the hand-decorated tourbillon gears can be seen from the dial side, whereas the refinement of the movement and its hand-finished components can also be admired through the sapphire case back.
The ‘Serenity Blue’ interpretation of the Rendez-Vous Jewellery Tourbillon is a harmonious expression of contemporary feminine elegance, demonstrating La Grande Maison’s philosophy of uniting fine watchmaking and high jewellery skills through the signature codes of the Rendez-Vous collection.
