Jaeger-LeCoultre #Rendez-Vous Celestial

When the Rendez-Vous was introduced in 2012, it was a rare example of a highcomplication watch created specifically for women; since then, this mechanically sophisticated and visually entrancing timepiece has been reinterpreted several times.

For this new  ‘Northern Lights’ edition, both sections of the mother-of-pearl dial are hand-painted with swirls of color that reproduce the ethereal patterns of the Aurora Borealis – flowing seamlessly from the upper to lower dials. Shades of green and turquoise set the tone for one model; purples and blues dominate on the other.. the colors intensified by the glowing mother-of-pearl beneath them. As the sky disc turns, the pattern of the background gently shifts, in a subtle echo of the dancing movement of the aurora.

A hand-polished golden star – emblem of the Rendez-Vous collection – is set on the edge of the dial; by turning the second crown, it can be moved into position to mark the time of a special rendezvous. 

Rich tones of the dial are echoed on the bezel, which is set with a dazzling, colour-graduated circle of 64 baguette-cut sapphires. To complete the gem-set case, the lugs and two crowns are highlighted with diamonds. This joyful expression of the cosmic world is brought to life by Calibre 809/1, a self-winding movement developed and produced within the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture. Created specially for the RendezVous Celestial. For more on this 18 piece limited edition visit @Jaeger-lecoultre.com
