The Rendez-Vous collection reflects the inspiration our master watchmakers take from the poise and power of women everywhere. The collection features an uncommonly beautiful design which serves as a creative canvas, one which is continually reimagined in the Rendez-Vous lines to naturally reflect a sense of radiant femininity.
Since it was introduced in 2012, the Rendez-Vous collection has provided endless inspiration for both the watchmakers of Jaeger-LeCoultre and the craftsmen of the Manufacture’s Métiers Rares Workshop. Among the many watchmaking complications created especially for Rendez-Vous, the Night & Day remains one of the most emblematic as its mechanism distils the 24-hour cycle of light and darkness into a captivating display on the wrist. Set on a mother-of-pearl disc, a polished golden sun alternates with a crescent moon set on a background of stars.
CALIBRE
RENOWNED CALIBRES
As with the dial, Jaeger-LeCoultre allows no compromise inside the Rendez-Vous Moon. Visible through the transparent sapphire case-back, its self-winding mechanical movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 925 is developed and produced entirely within the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. The transparent sapphire case-back reveals fine decoration and finishing in classical watchmaking style: blued screws, circular graining and Côtes de Genève and the open-worked pink gold winding rotor.
IN-HOUSE EXCELLENCE
Within the 36-mm case of two Rendez-Vous Dazzling Night & Day novelties lie the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 898, an automatic mechanical movement was designed, developed and produced entirely in-house. As per the Rendez-Vous Moon, the transparent sapphire case-back reveals the fine decoration and finishing in classical watchmaking style: blued screws, circular graining, and Côtes de Genève and the open-worked pink gold winding rotor.
HERITAGE
A REVOLUTION WORN ON THE WRIST
The very first wristwatches were worn by women in the early 1900s and were only later adopted by men. Edmond Jaeger and Jacques-David LeCoultre quickly understood that the wristwatch would revolutionise the entire industry. They also understood how this revolution could change the entire approach to watchmaking. The drive to craft watches that were thinner, more complex, and that featured elements of high jewellery and complications, was inspired by women. For women, a watch was not only to tell time, but it was an ornament, a jewel, to accompany them throughout day and night and today, our Rendez-Vous collection continues this proud tradition.
