A Rendez Vous with Jaeger-LeCoultre
In the Rendez-Vous Dazzling Star, Jaeger-LeCoultre has not just introduced a pretty women’s watch that pays homage to the shooting star; it has, in the face of watchmaking maxim, also created a complication of randomness to mirror the incidence of this night sky delight on the wearer’s wrist.
In keeping with the randomness with which shooting stars appear, that in the Rendez-Vous Dazzling Star is accordingly not displayed with regularity, but as activated by the movement of the wrist. It appears on the dial randomly, between four to six times per hour. But unlike in nature, here the wearer has the added option of summoning the shooting star at will, by turning the winding crown several times.
The Rendez-Vous Dazzling Star is offered in 36mm pink gold case, with two rings of diamond settings on its bezel and more on the upper surfaces of the lugs, and an inverted diamond set into the crown. The watch is available with a blue alligator strap or pink gold bracelet specially designed for the Rendez-Vous Dazzling Star, fully-set with 436 diamonds (for 4.88 carats).
