Jaeger-LeCoultre's Rendez-Vous collection was first introduced to the public in 2012 and if the current diversity of offerings is any indication, it's been a resounding success. The company website shows over 40 variations on the theme, which includes everything from steel timepieces with a simple day/night indication, all the way up to tourbillons, watches with celestial maps, and perpetual calendars. As you might expect, there is a lavish deployment of precious metals, precious gems, and mother of pearl. A signature complication for the range, is the moonphase complication; 8 models have one (10 if you include the perpetual calendars). The Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon is the most recently introduced of the Dazzling Rendez-Vous models, following the introduction of a Dazzling Day & Night model, and white gold Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon, at this year's SIHH. The pink gold Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon is being launched at the Venice International Film Festival.
The watch is a showpiece for Jaeger-LeCoultre's very long history of horological gem-setting, which is a highly specialized and very demanding genre of the craft. Colored stones present a more obvious challenge as color-matching has to be extremely precise when setting colored stones adjacent to each other on a watch case, but diamonds have challenges of their own, especially when clustered tightly together – the stones have to be cut and set to allow as much light as possible to travel through them, so as not to mute the scintillating fire that gives modern diamond cuts so much of their appeal. Interestingly, the fire we associate with diamonds today is a relatively recent phenomenon in gemology – the first really modern cut based on a theoretical analysis of the optics of a cut diamond was the brilliant round cut, which was not developed until 1919, by Marcel Tolkowsky.
The Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon bezel comprises 108 diamonds, forming two concentric rings around the watch case. There’s an airy quality to these glittering circles, thanks to the claw (or ‘griffes’) setting of the outer ring of 36 stones. A classical jewellery technique – indeed, it was employed by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s craftsmen for Model 101, the celebrated High Jewellery design of the 1920s – it requires great precision. Designed to maximise the presence of each stone, the setting allows light to pass through the diamonds from every angle, while minimising the visible metal. In Dazzling Rendez-Vous the fine gold claws hold the diamonds high, giving an impression that they’re almost floating around the watch case, rather than anchored to it. To complete the case, diamonds are also set into the lugs and the winding crown.
The sumptuous, fully-set bracelet is a masterpiece of the jewellery crafts: Jaeger-LeCoultre’s gem-setters have bezel-set 310 diamonds (22.27 carats), linking them seamlessly together to form a river of diamonds that wraps around the wrist as softly as a ribbon.
The moonlight-white mother-of-pearl dial abounds with subtle details: on an outer ring, diamonds mark the hours; on the main hours ring, each of the applied pink gold numerals is set on a separate mother-of-pearl ‘tile’, all anchored by an inner circle of 47 diamonds.
It is a perfect setting for a romantic and lovely moon phase display. Visible through an opening at 6 o’clock, the new design features a shiny mother-of-pearl moon floating against a starry aventurine night sky, and playing hide-and-seek behind a cloud of carved mother-of-pearl as it cycles through its different phases over the course of a month.
Uniting La Grande Maison’s artistic skills with its renowned technical acumen, the Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon is powered by the Calibre 925/A1 – a self-winding mechanical movement developed and produced in-house and providing a power reserve of 38 hours. The transparent sapphire case-back reveals some fine decoration and finishing in the classical style: blued screws, circular graining, Côtes de Genève and the pink gold signature winding rotor with Côtes de Genève decoration.
