Jaeger‑LeCoultre was one of the first to offer women elegant watches, completely set with diamonds and with exceptionally small calibers. The Rendez-Vous collection is a tribute to this tradition, and it aims to make modern women look and feel sublime. A Rendez-Vous watch does not reveal its mystery at first glance, it has to be studied closely to discover its treasures: its automatic movement, where the sapphire bottom reveals the complexity of the machinery; the delicacy of its finishing touches; its face which is finely-engraved or covered in mother-of-pearl; the shine of its precious stones... Graceful from every angle, this collection is the union between the aesthetic and the mechanical. An ode to beauty that underscores the female wrist whether by day or at night.

For the very first time, the bezel with a graduated twocolour Cerachrom insert in red and blue ceramic is available on the GMT-Master II in Oystersteel, with a Jubilee bracelet. Originally designed to aid airline pilots in their navigation, the GMTMaster has become an unmistakable icon. Over the years its emblematic bezel has been presented in various colours, in both single and two-coloured combinations. It is the signature feature of its unique and instantly recognizable aesthetics. With a traditional hour, minute and seconds display via hands; a 24-hour hand; and a bidirectional rotatable bezel with a 24-hour graduated Cerachrom insert, it is possible to read the time in two time zones at once: either the local time and a reference time, or the local time and another time zone as desired. The date, shown at 3 o’clock, is synchronized with the local time display.
