                        <guid>https://press.jaeger-lecoultre.com/jaeger-lecoultre-presents-new-rendez-vous-models/</guid><pp:caseid>314478</pp:caseid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Capturing the pure essence of femininity, the Rendez-Vous collection has been reimagined this year as part of The Art of Precision theme. Precision in action. Precision in design. Even at a glance, these new versions show a stunning richness of detail with elements that fully adhere to the codes of High Jewellery: the addition of a prong setting, a new vision of moon phases, the distinct character of diamonds and mother-of-pearl, and the redesign of Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibres 898B and 925A. More than ever, the new models of the Rendez-Vous collection are imbued with the spirit of fine watchmaking, inside and out. The exceptional personality of each is a perfect reflection of the extreme precision necessary to bring these creations to life.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dazzling&nbsp;Rendez-Vous Night & Day</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Available in white or pink gold with alligator leather straps (in shades of blue or taupe), the Dazzling Rendez-Vous Night & Day watch sets the stage for an all-new vision of the iconic Night & Day function. Combining gold, mother-of-pearl and diamonds with uncompromising attention to detail, the feature is as balanced as ever. With an automatic movement nestled in a generous case (36 mm), this timeless model is sure to charm any sophisticated woman with a taste for jewellery watches made for nights out on the town.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>New prong setting</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">With a prong setting brought to life with the most meticulous and striking jewellery techniques, the new Dazzling Rendez-Vous Night & Day watch pays tribute to the highest form of precision, both in craftsmanship and creative passion. The master jewellers of Jaeger-LeCoultre shine with a rare talent for unique gem-setting techniques, including snow, grain, baguette or prong setting. This last style takes centre stage on these new Dazzling Rendez-Vous. These gem-setting techniques require extreme precision, attention to detail, and a remarkable degree of patience. The prong setting itself takes our master jewellers hours upon hours to cut, set and place diamonds one by one, bringing out their full radiance and shine.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A new look with diamond and mother-of-pearl</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The jewellery watch spirit is undeniable even at a glance, with a new adornment featuring mother-of-pearl on the dial and three rows of diamonds including the prong setting. The radiance of 168 diamonds is a wonder to behold, with the gaze drawn to the colours of the white dial, which seem to shimmer and gleam. This interplay of light on mother-of-pearl shines with a sea-of-clouds effect. The day/night indicator moves across a starry sky of mother-of-pearl within a 6 o&rsquo;clock aperture. The three rows of sparkling diamonds unfurl gracefully, the effect only further enhanced by the brilliance of the iridescent surface. The precious bezel, set with 108 diamonds, shines with stunning radiance. Another row of 47 smaller diamonds is nestled away gently inside the dial, while the lugs are also set with 12 diamonds. A single diamond adorns the inverted cabochon, for the perfect finishing touch of refinement. In this sumptuous setting, the unique hands and floral numerals, so emblematic of the Rendez-Vous collection, are able to shine in all their glory.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">These two distinct jewellery versions make the Rendez-Vous collection an invitation to discover pure dreams brought to life. Between the perfectly-measured pace of the automatic movement and the stunning precision of the poetic Night & Day function, the diamonds and mother-of-pearl dial stand out with infinite grace&mdash; a truly breathtaking wonder of watchmaking.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A wholly original prong setting. Two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds flowing along the outline of the bezel and continuing to the heart of the mother-of-pearl dial. A new vision of moon phases to enhance the model with pure soul and femininity. The white gold version keeps perfect time with elegant women who crave timepieces that are equal parts watchmaking and jewellery. If the character of time truly is round and feminine, &ldquo;Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon&rdquo; is the perfect choice of title.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>New prong setting</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The outer bezel proudly showcases a flawless trail of 108 diamonds huddled close together in a striking prong setting. First introduced through the Jewellery 101 watch, this type of gem-setting requires great finesse and was pushed to new heights by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture, in full keeping with the watchmaker&rsquo;s renowned expertise. A second line of smaller diamonds only serves to accentuate the delicate character of the timepiece. Ethereal and subtle, 47 diamonds form a sparkling ring in the middle of the dial. As distinct finishing touches, 12 diamonds encrusted in the lugs and the single diamond set on the inverted cabochon stand out as works of pure refinement.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>New moon phases</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon, a starry sky of aventurine midnight blue serves as the perfect backdrop for the new face of the moon, reimagined here fully in mother-of-pearl. The timepiece immediately makes an impression as a stroke of flawless execution. The master watchmakers and craftsmen of Jaeger-LeCoultre are responsible for breathing life into this masterpiece, adhering to centuries-old techniques with utmost precision, all under the watchful eye of binocular microscopes. A translucent cloud stands in the foreground before the new moon phase function, both veiling and revealing, for a bold, contemporary effect imbued with the touch of fine craftsmanship.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A wonder of gemstones and fine materials</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Iridescent, ever-changing, and ultra-feminine... mother-of-pearl has remained a hallowed material for craftsmen and artists of the Manufacture for years. Stone after stone, diamonds are chosen with the same special care and meticulous standards. No matter the type of setting, the goal remains the same: to best accentuate the brightness and purity of the gemstones. Echoing the radiance of the new Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon&rsquo;s mother-of-pearl dial, the meticulously-crafted diamond-set crown only amplifies the reflections and intensity.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon timepieces are the perfect synthesis of watchmaking and jewellery precision. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture strives to endlessly blur the lines between the two, with exceptional models that continue to make their mark on the history of watchmaking.</p>

                        <guid>https://press.jaeger-lecoultre.com/the-art-of-precision/</guid><pp:caseid>314668</pp:caseid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The native soil of the Vall&eacute;e de Joux</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Jaeger-LeCoultre&rsquo;s history is rooted in the Vall&eacute;e de Joux, bordering the Swiss Jura Mountains. Beyond the peaceful image it conveys, this setting forged the very identity of the Manufacture. Against this backdrop where patience and calm are intrinsic to the landscape, there grew up a tradition of precision bound up with a profoundly authentic artistic &eacute;lan.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A balance of technical sophistication and perfected skill</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">For Jaeger-LeCoultre, the quintessence of the watchmaker&rsquo;s art lies in achieving a perfect balance between precision techniques and the deft craftsmanship required to perform them. From the invention of the Millionom&egrave;tre to the Gyrotourbillon, this balance is expressed in the diversity of the Manufacture's Rare Handcrafts (&ldquo;M&eacute;tiers Rares&reg;&rdquo;) and the many-faceted expertise of its master watchmakers, united in a common pursuit: to match technical sophistication with esthetic finesse.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Craftsmanship and precision</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Manufacture set itself two objectives from the outset: accuracy of the movement, and technical precision. These goals both emerged from, and flourished in, this Swiss natural setting, whose calm and serenity seem to abide, undisturbed, from one season to the next. The Manufacture's master watchmakers are deeply influenced and inspired by this environment, throwing their heart and soul into every ingenious sketch, every oscillation of the balance wheel, every escapement wheel&mdash;always pushing the boundaries of precision.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>An endless wellspring of inspiration</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">From its caliber to its case, every Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is entirely designed, manufactured and assembled under one roof. This is why the name Jaeger-LeCoultre is so closely associated with some very revealing figures. Almost 180 specialist skills and trades are assembled in our manufacture, along with nearly 1,250 calibers from the simplest to the most sophisticated and some 400 patents.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The quest for precision is also reflected in milestones of invention, all of them world firsts, from the first tools to cut the pinions invented by Antoine LeCoultre who was determinate to reach excellence. Then Millionom&egrave;tre in 1844. First grande complication pocket watch in 1895. Chronom&egrave;tre Geophysic in 1958. Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 920 in 1967. Master Control 1000 Hours in 1992. Gyrotourbillon 1 in 2004. Duom&egrave;tre and Dual Wing concept in 2007. Grand Prix de Chronom&eacute;trie in 2009 &hellip; This list is far from exhaustive, and is constantly expanding with new precision inventions that mark out the Manufacture as the irrefutable gold standard, both nationally and worldwide. At Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, pursuit of excellence, attention to infinitely small details, and patience are necessary at every single stage of designing, making and finishing/completing each watch and clock.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>When precision becomes art</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Jaeger-LeCoultre has made precision an art form in its own right: because technical and mechanical precision are matched by the precision and artistry of the workmanship. Age-old skills like guillochage, engraving, gem-setting, and enameling are still at the heart of the expertise preserved in the Maison and its Rare Handcrafts (&ldquo;M&eacute;tiers Rares&reg;&rdquo;).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As the name &ldquo;Manufacture&rdquo; suggests, the hand of man is indeed at the helm here. It is man who dreams up and designs the prototypes. It is the hand of man that directs and breathes life into the tools and instruments, the movement and its heartbeat, the materials and the precious stones. These hands belong to craftsmen who never cease to hone their skills&mdash;that is, to ensure that their tiniest gestures are as careful, as rigorous, as fitting, and as precise as possible. Even if it means going higher than where the bar is usually set.</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Manufacture and Artisans,Art of Precision,SIHH2019,SIHH 2019,Métiers rares,Rares Handcrafts,Vallée de Joux]]></category>
