The new Rendez-Vous Tourbillon has a 39mm case in rose gold adorned with a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds glittering on the bezel and mirrored on a smaller scale in the centre of the dial and around the tourbillon. The setting made up of 215 hand-set diamonds required many hours of attention within the Rare Handcrafts “Métiers Rares®” workshop.
At 6 o’clock, the tourbillon reveals its complex system of predominantly hand-decorated gears. Seemingly suspended in mid-air, its balance wheel oscillates within the carriage to perform one revolution every 60 seconds, setting the beat of its high-precision automatic movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 978.
The external part of the dial featuring big Arabic numerals is silver-coloured, while the central part dresses in mother-of-pearl with a shimmering iridescence. This watch with hours, minutes, seconds and tourbillon functions is equipped with an alligator strap.
