SIHH 2017: Jaeger-LeCoultre Updates Rendez-Vous

In 2017 Jaeger-LeCoultre will expand its popular Rendez-Vous collection for women with a moon phase model and a new chiming reminder function. At the same time the firm adds yellow and rose gold options, a larger size and a host of colorful new straps. You may recall that Jaeger-LeCoultre debuted the collection in 2012 with a unique function that allowed the wearer to move a star around the dial to set as a reminder for an appointment, or rendez-vous.

The Rendez-Vous Night & Day will now be available in three sizes and in a choice of materials, including yellow gold, and with steel, ostrich or alligator leather straps. With its case of 38.2mm in diameter – a larger-than-ever case for this collection – Rendez-Vous Night & Day also allows women to change their watch straps or buckles as they wish, without extra tools. Also, there’s a new rose gold model set with diamonds and placed on an ostrich strap. In the 34mm medium size, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces yellow gold into the Rendez-Vous timepiece collection for the first time.

Rendez-Vous Sonatina Large

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmakers have added a new chiming function to the Rendez-Vous, creating the Rendez-Vous Sonatina Large (38.2mm). The watch will chime at an hour chosen by the wearer by using the top crown to move the star to the appointed hour. A delicate tone from a single hammer strike will be heard, which explains the watch’s name: Sonatina is a musical term for a short melody.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new Caliber 735 automatic movement

The new watch arrives in two case versions, rose gold and white gold, each supplied with its own dial texture and hue. The elegant night and day indicator appears in a semi-circle at 6am, complementing the Rendez-Vous star. Inside is Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new Caliber 735 automatic movement.

Rendez-Vous Moon Medium & Large

Finally, Jaeger-LeCoultre adds four 34mm moon phase models cased in either steel or pink gold. In addition, a special gem-set 36mm Rendez-Vouz Moon Large marks the first appearance of rose gold in this size. Enhanced with a signature Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture Métiers Rares gem setting, the watch’s bezel and case rim are entirely set with brilliant cut diamonds. In addition, twenty-six diamonds are set in a semi circle above the hour numbers, which in turn make way to be replaced by a pearl moon in a sky filled with stars.
