JAEGER-LECOULTRE Master Control Chronograph Calendar

JAEGER-LECOULTRE Master Control Chronograph Calendar

Awidely recognized face of 1990s watchmaking, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control collection is the quiet, highly educated, well-groomed member of the greater Jaeger-LeCoultre family. Discreetly going about its business, it carries more weight when it comes to upholding the company’s reputation than it is often given credit for. Today, we go hands-on with a recently updated […]

JAEGER-LECOULTRE Polaris Perpetual Calendar

JAEGER-LECOULTRE Polaris Perpetual Calendar

It could be argued that the somewhat skewed proportions of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Perpetual Calendar collection could respond well to some additional visual complexity. Introduced in 2018 with just three narrow hands, a slim bezel, and robust lugs, the resulting wide dial left plenty of room and desire for something more. Enter the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris […]

JAEGER-LECOULTRE Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon

JAEGER-LECOULTRE Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon

It’s kind of a tough time to be a tourbillon. Complications generally have at least a little bit of an air of let-them-eat-cake about them (okay, probably not the chronograph), but they can often get away with it for different reasons. Chiming complications can plead the undeniable craft which, even today, it still takes to […]

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon

Jaeger-LeCoultre presents a new variation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon model in pink gold with a gradient midnight blue dial.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph

Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph

Jaeger-LeCoultre is pressing the restart button on its Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris chronograph. It’s still a two-register configuration, but instead of chronograph minutes and hours counters, it pairs a minutes counter at the usual 3 o’clock position with a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock, replacing the hours. There are two new models, one with a blue […]

Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Dazzling Night & Day

 Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces two sparkling new expressions of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Dazzling Night & Day. The new timepieces elevate the Rendez-Vous Dazzling concept into the realm of High Jewellery, with a fully diamond-set dial complementing the two circles of diamonds that form the bezel – the Rendez-Vous Dazzling signature. One model is complemented by a vivid red alligator strap and the other by […]

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar

When contemplating the long history of Jaeger-LeCoultre and its massive manufacture in the Swiss Jura, it’s difficult to think of a complication or technical feat that it hasn’t already achieved. There’s a reason why the company goes by the sobriquet the Grande Maison. So I was surprised this afternoon to open up an email with […]

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Jewellery

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Jewellery

This year, in keeping with the pioneering spirit of La Grande Maison, which has created watches for women since its early days, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents two new expressions of the Reverso One. Cased in pink gold, they illustrate the union of Fine Watchmaking and High Jewellery down to the smallest detail. Expressing the full potential of an icon that never ceases to inspire the watchmakers of La Grande Maison and the craftsmen of the Métiers Rares workshop, the case of the new Reverso One Duetto Jewellery is entirely set with diamonds. One model is complemented by a shiny black leather strap and the other by a pink gold bracelet entirely set with diamonds. In 1997, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Reverso Duetto, featuring two back-to-back dials, each with a set of hands driven by a single movement but turning in opposite directions in order to display the same time correctly on both sides – a complex mechanism that represented a technical achievement for the Manufacture’s watchmakers. For the new Reverso One Duetto Jewellery models, the hand-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 844 – entirely developed and produced within the Manufacture – now promises 50 hours of power reserve. The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Jewellery presents the back-to-back dial concept in a new setting that is as rare as it is precious. With 335 grain-set diamonds that cover the entire case-back and wrap seamlessly around its curved sides to frame the dial, the case is unquestionably a piece of jewellery, emphasised by […]
