Jaeger-LeCoultre unveils two new Rendez-Vous models

The Rendez-Vous Jewellery Night & Day, a high-jewellery creation limited to 10 pieces, and the Rendez-Vous Hour-Minute, a model designed for everyday wear.
Jaeger-LeCoultre's Rendez-Vous, introduced in 2012, established itself by marrying technical watchmaking with feminine aesthetics. This year, the manufacture has broadened the collection with two new interpretations: The Rendez-Vous Jewellery Night & Day, a high-jewellery creation limited to 10 pieces, and the Rendez-Vous Hour-Minute, a model designed for everyday wear. 

Rendez-Vous Jewellery Night & Day
Housed in a 34 mm platinum case, this piece showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre's expertise across multiple métiers. At its centre is a transparent sapphire dial, hand-painted in lacquer with an Asian Paradise Flycatcher perched among Korean Dogwood blossoms. A rotating disc beneath the art introduces a poetic interpretation of the Maison's Night & Day complication – hand-painted with the sun and moon, the disc completes one full rotation every 24 hours, gradually shifting the scene from daylight to moonlight.


The collection's signature Floral numerals are arranged asymmetrically in a graceful crescent, while an oval ring of grain-set diamonds draws the eye towards the miniature artwork. Beyond the dial, the bezel is set with 48 baguette-cut diamonds, complemented by brilliant-cut diamonds along the case sides and lugs, while a reverse-set diamond adorns the crown—a signature detail of the Rendez-Vous collection.

Powering the watch is Jaeger-LeCoultre's self-winding Calibre 733, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement features a 22-carat gold rotor and finely decorated components, and offers 70 hours of power-reserve. The watch is paired with a satin-finished blue alligator leather strap equipped with an interchangeable system and is limited to just 10 pieces.

Rendez-Vous Hour-Minute
This watch is presented in a compact 29 mm case crafted either in stainless steel (Ref. Q3658110) or 18-Karat pink gold (Ref. Q3652520). The dial adopts a concentric layout enhanced by sunray guilloché finishing, while the familiar floral numerals remain a defining element. Diamond hour markers are discreetly positioned around the outer chapter ring, and an embossed inner ring introduces texture without disrupting the dial's minimalist character. 


The pink gold model pairs warm-toned hands and numerals with a creamy dial and a satin-finished taupe alligator leather strap featuring the Maison's interchangeable system. The stainless steel model, meanwhile, is distinguished by blued hands against a crisp white dial and debuts a new bracelet design introduced for the Rendez-Vous collection. Comprising polished lozenge-shaped links with subtle brushed accents, the bracelet is engineered for enhanced flexibility, allowing it to drape naturally around the wrist while retaining the quick-change mechanism found across the collection. These watches are powered by the quartz calibre 657 and display hours and minutes only. There is also a closed caseback engraved with a stylised sun motif.
