By embodying the values of high jewellery, these Rendez-Vous Celestial models complement a collection first created in the Manufacture’s workshops in 2012. Fruit of watchmaking expertise and its characteristic Rare Handcrafts “Métiers Rares®”, these timepieces feature high-precision automatic movement, precious gem-setting, refined finishes and confident aura of its floral numerals.
Although seemingly classical in appearance, in the hearts of these new Rendez-Vous pieces, powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 809/1, feature the collection's iconic function : as it marks out its constant course, the mysterious star serves as a reminder of the time of a future rendezvous.
A sky map, the ultimate feminine function, is encircled by a bezel set with either a graduated display of pink sapphires shifting into shades of amethyst or with brilliant-cut diamonds. Enhanced by a constantly moving star, the dial displays the changing constellations and signs of the zodiac, which are enamelled in shades of either pink-gold or silver to draw the eyes deep into the starry sky.
In addition to the precious gem-setting, the enamelled floral numerals and twelve constellations perpetuate the traditions of Rare Handcrafts “Métiers Rares®”. To continue the glittering spectacle of the sapphires or diamonds in the dark, these two jewellery watches come alive at nightfall.
