For the Lady Who Wishes to Forget Time

Developed for the modern woman, the "Rendez-vous" collection captivates with its refined Art Deco-inspired design. It has seen the release of various high-complication models, from perpetual calendars to minute repeaters. The newly released "Rendez-vous Ivy Secret" is the first in the ladies' collection to feature a dressy secret watch with a cover that conceals the dial. Inside, the Maison's proud ultra-thin and compact mechanical movement keeps time.

Ivy, a climbing evergreen plant also cultivated as an ornamental, grows wild, extending its tendrils over any cliff face and maintaining its green foliage year-round. Its extraordinary vitality has symbolized "eternity" since the time of ancient Rome.

This new creation draws inspiration from jewelry models of the 1960s. The cover, adorned with ivy and featuring a hand-engraved and painted mother-of-pearl dial, along with the white gold case and bracelet, are meticulously set with 304 diamonds by Jaeger-LeCoultre's gem setters, showcasing their expertise. This elegant piece, true to the Maison's style, is captivating with its brilliance.

Elegant Tourbillon Model for Women

The biggest highlight of WATCHES & WONDERS 2014 was the "Rendez-vous Minute Repeater," a complex watch for women. Carrying on the taste of this luxurious high-end model, the highlight for 2015 is this tourbillon model. The dial, featuring an ivy motif, is adorned with guilloché engraving depicting ivy leaf veins, organic lacework, and plum-colored translucent Grand Feu enamel. Furthermore, precious stones are set on the bezel, lugs, and crown, while diamonds adorn the middle case and bracelet buckle, further enhancing the dial's brilliance. This is a truly elegant piece, characteristic of the Maison.

The Rendez-vous collection has traditionally included tourbillon models that combine precision and elegance for daily wear. Among these, this particular model stands out as exceptionally feminine.
