Jaeger-LeCoultreRENDEZ-VOUS Moon Serenity Pink Gold 36mm

RENDEZ-VOUS MOON SERENITY

Moon phases against a sumptuous backdrop... A mysterious star reminding you of a Rendez-Vous to come... A wave of blue, and sparkling diamonds... An automatic movement in a watch whose name conjures up a soft, tranquil mood...

This precious pink gold version of the Rendez-Vous Moon Serenity watch relays the quintessence of the Manufacture’s watchmaking and jewellery expertise.

Moon Phases in an ocean of blue

The Rendez-Vous Moon Serenity is all in blue, with a mother-of-pearl moon phase set off against its satin-brushed star chart. Dainty golden half-spheres scintillate under the light above the enchanting blue of its inner dial, recreating the constellations of the night sky on a starry evening.

The floral hour numerals that are so emblematic of the Rendez-Vous collection softly fade into the lower part of the satin-brushed sunray dial, almost to the point of vanishing altogether. The hour numerals form the arc of a circle, their discretion inviting the eye to focus on the splendour of this nocturnal ballet, in its endlessly cycles of renewal...

Equally precious and precise

The bezel is encircled by a crown of 62 brilliant-cut diamonds. Each precious gemstone is rigorously selected before it can be precisely positioned alongside the other gems in the setting. Like a wayward butterfly, a mysterious circling star indicates the time of an upcoming Rendez-Vous. Inconspicuous and mischievous, this glittering star reminds us that the name of the watch – which is also the name of the collection – was chosen for exactly that reason.

The beating heart of the Rendez-Vous Moon Serenity is powered by the precision of its automatic mechanical movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 935, whose 265 components can be admired through the sapphire crystal case-back.

Through both its faces, the Rendez-Vous Moon Serenity watch in pink gold presents an alluring temptation to travel, with the stars as our companions along the way.

VOUTILAINEN – 28ti Titanium Edition


VOUTILAINENCurrent 28ti Titanium Inverse Power Reserve Limited Edition

HIDDEN RESERVE

The Voutilainen 28ti wristwatch perfectly encapsulates the philosophy of Kari Voutilainen. Its elegant and strong mechanism is housed in a stylish and robust case.

The in-house movement of the Vingt-8 was designed, built, fabricated, finished and assembled in its entirety in Voutilainen workshops. The design and philosophy of the movement combines respect for longevity and precision with classical watchmaking tradition.

The movement has a very large balance wheel manufactured in-house, allowing perfect regulation of the watch to within strict tolerances.

To equip such an exceptional timepiece, a very rare and unique balance-spring system has been used. The exterior of the spring uses a typical Phillips overcoil, while the internal curve uses the little known Grossmann curve.

The escapement makes the movement very special; this is the first watch to have two escapement wheels in such a configuration.  The escapement wheels give a direct impulse to the balance through the impulse roller/jewel. This escapement is extremely efficient and requires much less energy than traditional lever escapements, offering benefits in terms of longevity and stability in day-to-day use.

The balance-wheel bridge is sublimely elegant, offering an unimpeded view of the escapement and balance. It also allows the enthusiast to admire the extremely neat synchronized movements while watching the time.

The watch is finished to the highest standards.

The surfaces of pinions and wheels are completely flat and highly polished to within exceptionally uniform tolerances.
