Overview
Contemporary elegance
Flawlessly sophisticated in either 29mm or 34mm, it features an elegant silhouette and open sapphire case back that showcases the movements of its automatic calibre entirely developed, crafted and assembled in our workshop in the Vallee de Joux. Featuring a night and day or moon-phase indicator, the floral hour numerals and hands take an elongated contemporary shape for a gracefully modern look. The hand-guilloché décor and mother-of-pearl finish associated to diamonds reflect the finest Haute Horlogerie traditions.
Heritage
A revolution worn on the wrist
The very first wristwatches were worn by women in the early 1900s and were only later adopted by men. Edmond Jaeger and Jacques-David LeCoultre quickly understood that the wristwatch would revolutionise the entire industry. They also understood how this revolution could change the entire approach to watchmaking. The drive to craft watches that were thinner, more complex and that featured elements of high jewellery and complications, was inspired by women. For women, a watch was not only to tell time, but it was an ornament, a jewel, to accompany them throughout day and night. Our Rendez-Vous luxury watch collection continues this proud tradition today.
Made in our Manufacture
From its calibre to its case, every Jaeger‑LeCoultre luxury watch is designed, manufactured and assembled under one roof, at our Manufacture in the Vallee de Joux. Our obsession with quality is renowned as every Jaeger‑LeCoultre model undergoes strict “1,000 Hour Control” testing. This unique program provides internal certification tests that far exceed official chronometry tests.
It includes movement testing before and after casing and extends throughout assembly, according to conditions that match daily wear. A quality seal is engraved on the back of every watch once it meets our strict standards.
