Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Medium Duetto Pink Gold Bracelet (2572120)

I am completely and utterly in love with this Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Medium Duetto Pink Gold Bracelet (2572120) watch!! The clear band is what closed the deal with me. I found out that the face was oversized when I went in the store which I was not so thrilled about, but after trying it on and modeling it a bit I fell in love. I get so many compliments when I wear it because the watch is simply gorgeous!

Zhao Wei, a renowned Chinese film actress and a friend of Jaeger-LeCoultre, visited the brand's manufacturing facilities in the Valley de Joux, Switzerland. 

Hosted by Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Jerome Lambert, Zhao Wei discovered different stages of  watch manufacturing, decoration and assembly. Impressed by the work of watchmakers that requires an incredible amount of patience and precision, Zhao Wei particularly admired gem setting and enamelling techniques that went into making the Rendez-Vous, a new ladies High Jewellery watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre. 

Zhao Wei visited Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, testifying to almost 180 years of continuous development on a single site and the unique integration of all skills under one roof.  The serenity and the natural beauty of the surroundings are doubtless the finest source of inspiration guiding the eye, hand and heart of the "artisans of time". A long-established heritage of know-how and passion beats at the heart of each creation from the Manufacture.  Born from an invention, the Grande Maison has always been fired by the spirit of discovery and the need to create ever more precise and complex technical marvels. This established reference in the field of fine watchmaking currently has over 500 complicated calibres to its credit. 

"I love mechanical watches, it gives you the feeling that you can control your time and what you are doing," - said Zhao Wei. "I have attended several events wearing Jaeger-LeCoultre watches. They match my aesthetic standard and style. I think Jaeger-LeCoultre watches carry very profound meanings, craftsmanship and history". 

Earlier this year Zhao Wei, the essence of elegance and refinement, presented Jaeger-LeCoultre's Rendez-Vous ladies' watch collection during Shanghai Film Festival and walked the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival in her new identity as a friend of Jaeger-LeCoultre. 

Zhao Wei, friend of the brand

Zhao Wei is a famous Chinese film actress as well as a pop singer. She has been awarded Hundred Flowers Film Award, Shanghai Film Critics Award, Hua Biao Film Award, Golden Eagle TV Award as well as Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Goblet Award. 

Zhao Wei rose to international stardom in films such as Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer (2001), So Close (2002) and the epic Warriors of Heaven and Earth (2004), Hua Mulan (2009), Secret Service Of The Imperial Court (2010). In John Woo's historical epic Red Cliff (2009), she played warrior princess Sun Shangxiang. She gained positive comments from media. For her achievements in film, television, and music, Japanese media dubbed her China's No.1 actress, and UK's described her as "China's box office darling".

In modern watchmaking, there are emblematic models one can say are almost as (or even more) famous than the brands that created them - rapidly becoming flagship models recognized at first sight even from afar. It is the grail of every watch company and every watch designer to create a true icon. Yet, they seldom manage to attain that incomparable status and when they do, sometimes it can backfire: there was a time when the Royal Oak and Reverso were names that almost overshadowed their respective manufacturers. Badollet is a revived boutique brand far from having the universal recognition of Audemars Piguet or Jaeger-LeCoultre, but recently designed a timepiece that has earned itself cult status among specialized media and die-hard aficionados alike.

When the Ivresse was unveiled at last year's Baselworld, it was acclaimed by experts and frequently mentioned among the fair's best timepieces. Yes, Ivresse is French for "inebriated," and many fell in love with the exquisite design featuring Eric Giroud's signature eye and David Candaux's technical expertise: curved lines on an elongated rectangular case and no superfluous ornamentation - yet it is devoid of austerity with its dreamy midnight blue dial and a hidden flying tourbillon as the cherry on top of the cake. Absolutely charming, with a neo-retro flavor. But can the Ivresse go from cult status to mainstream icon?
At a crossroads
At the 2013 Geneva Time Exhibition (GTE), Badollet CEO Philippe Dubois disclosed that Ivresse's success has made the company rethink its strategy - and happily admitted that Badollet's new flagship model could even represent the brand's new DNA: "The reaction to Ivresse was excellent and the media frenzy around it was important, so when people these days come to see Badollet they absolutely want to see Ivresse," he says. "It was daring to do such a highly complicated watch in terms of movement but at the same time really streamlined in terms of design. Right now we are focused on the delivery of the Ivresse before thinking about new products. But it's clear that Ivresse will be in the DNA of the brand in the future and there will be a natural evolution."

That evolution could be revolutionary, because it will change the brand's concept…for the good. "When Badollet was launched, it was based on tourbillon-only watches. That exclusivity automatically limits us and we're reflecting on what is the route we should take; because of Ivresse we're even thinking about taking a deflection and doing a non-tourbillon watch. Our customers know Badollet is a niche brand and tell us that with Ivresse we went into a niche of a niche. Yes, but that's okay with us. There are some markets where when someone spends 200,000 or 300,000 Swiss francs on a Badollet tourbillon watch, they want that money to be seen when they wear it. With Ivresse it's quite the opposite; it's a masterpiece for a more sophisticated clientele that has great pleasure in wearing such a watch and not really showing to others that they have spent a lot of money on it."

A different route
Right now, Badollet's production is limited to around 50 watches (tourbillons) a year - and an undisclosed part of that exclusive number is comprised by Ivresse, which is already being delivered to customers. "All models considered, we are delivering 45 to 50 timepieces a year. Ivresse's numbers haven't passed the other models' yet. Plus, there's some sort of dichotomy: all our other watches can be personalized, whereas Ivresse is just the way it is. We still have a clientele that want a sort of show-off product and do not quite understand Ivresse, whereas we have people coming to us that are only interested in Ivresse; they only know Ivresse and do not want anything other than Ivresse!"

So…what if Ivresse outshines the rest of the collection? "If the day comes when Ivresse cannibalizes the rest of the collection, we will be happy. And we're comfortable with the attention - it just shows how b the design is." Signed by Giroud, the Ivresse has an extended bateau-shape with an uncluttered dial, while the case back discloses a complex flying tourbillon caliber within concave movement architecture imagined by Candaux.

The big question
"It was difficult to conceive such a design in conjunction with such a movement," Dubois continues. However, the difficulties weren't just within the movement. Even its "blueness" was hard to pinpoint: "We decided that the first series would be in platinum, and thought that blue would go rather well with the platinum case. But it was really difficult to find the exact blue tone for the dial." Yet, other colors seem to be on the way: "In Basel we will have new dials."

Only new dials? "We are also thinking about doing the Ivresse with a wider case and also about a chronograph version of the Ivresse. The big question is - do we stick to a tourbillon caliber or not? If we go on and make a non-tourbillon Ivresse at a lower price, it could change everything for Badollet in terms of distribution, volume of production, even points of sale. But we're not in a hurry. Time will tell." Yes, "time will tell" seems to be the best possible answer to questions regarding Badollet's flagship model right now. Probably Baselworld will enlighten us a bit - until then, let's remain intoxicated with the incomparable Ivresse.

The Memovox Deep Sea needs no introduction. More than any other, this avant-garde achievement wrote one of the first chapters in the history of scuba diving. Right from the appearance of this new sports discipline in the 1950s, Jaeger-LeCoultre provided the first explorers of the ocean depths - whether driven by scientific goals or by a thirst for discovery - with a timepiece that exceeded their demands. Through the different versions introduced until the early 1970s, the Memovox Deep Sea became one of the rare watchmaking creations to leave an indelible imprint on its era. Eager to offer an audience of devotees and connoisseurs the opportunity to strap to their wrist one of the symbols of its inexhaustible inventiveness, the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre offers some remarkable reinterpretations of this legendary watch. The impressive success of the model unveiled in 2011 encouraged the Grande Maison in the Vallee de Joux to pursue this path.

2012 sees the introduction of a new water-resistant watch inspired by the Memovox Deep Sea: the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph.
Its lines express great historical loyalty and testify to its proud sporting heritage. Featuring a 40.5 mm case size similar to that of the Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea, this model is endowed with a range of characteristics that are bound to thrill connoisseurs. A fixed bezel surrounds a classic black dial face, protected by a Plexiglas watch glass. The hour-markers as well as the central hour and minute hands are covered by a Superluminova® coating with a warm orange-tinted shade subtly reminiscent of the luminescent coating on the 1959 Memovox Deep Sea. The time intervals measured by the two-button chronograph are indicated by two counters for the hours and minutes, positioned at 9 and 3 o'clock, as well as by the central seconds hand. The back of the stainless steel case also bears the same engraved motif as the historical model, depicting a frogman surrounded by bubbles. Finally, the embossed black calfskin leather strap looks exactly like the one fitted on the original.
While the case of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph is inspired by the design codes of an iconic creation, this watch driven by Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 751G incorporates the latest developments stemming from Jaeger-LeCoultre's ongoing research, such as the large variable-inertia balance, or the ceramic ball bearings ensuring lubricant-free long-term operation. The performance, the endurance and the reliability of the Jaeger-LeCoultre mechanism have proven their worth over the years, and are combined with qualities highlighting the historical legitimacy of a watch that is water-resistant to 100 metres. The latest creation from the Grande Maison in the Vallee de Joux is thus bound to thrill devotees of legendary models wishing to pay tribute to a longstanding tradition of innovation in the most diverse disciplines, yet without foregoing the comfort and reliability ensured by the latest generation of Jaeger-LeCoultre calibres.

Deep Sea - a legendary watch
In the 1950s, no standard had yet been established, laying down the criteria to be met by diver's watches. There was not yet any question of unidirectional rotating bezels, of resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, nor of 100-metre guaranteed watertightness. The field was still wide open. It was nonetheless quite obvious that the hands and hour-markers should be coated with a luminescent substance, which meant radium at the time, in order to facilitate reading the indications in dim light, but there were no legal terms protecting the use of the term "diver's watch".
This lack of regulation nonetheless harboured many dangers, since an exceptionally reliable timepiece was in fact indispensable for the practise of this activity. Divers had to be able to ensure at all times that they had a sufficient oxygen supply in their bottles in order to programme the various decompression stages involved in returning to the surface. The readability of the information was thus of crucial importance, and the Memovox Deep Sea already featured such an extremely clear dial that its intuitively obvious layout continues to meet divers' most stringent demands. However, since the notion of time is sometimes relative for those gliding through the heart of the amazing underwater world, Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers already conceived the idea, in the very infancy of diver's watches, of equipping the Memovox Deep Sea with the emblematic Memovox alarm function. They offered enthusiasts of this new sport an additional safety feature in the form of a complementary audible alarm in order to signal to divers that it was time to begin their progress return to the surface. This distinctive characteristic and its extraordinary reliability sealed the triumph of the Memovox Deep Sea, and its original edition was soon sold out. After that, only a few collectors could enjoy the privilege of contemplating this legendary watch.

Nonetheless, the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, always keen to ensure that its creations do not remain confined within the walls of a museum, and to give contemporary watch enthusiasts access to the countless inventions punctuating its long history, succumbed to the appeals emanating from circles of aficionados calling for a rebirth of this historical timepiece. In 2008, Jaeger-LeCoultre thus unveiled a faithful re-edition of the original Memovox Polaris 1968. This journey back to its roots continued in 2011 with the re-edition of the legendary 1959 Memovox Deep Sea, the first diver's watch to feature an alarm.
This creation brilliantly interpreted the aesthetic purity of the historical model into order to convey through a contemporary design language entirely in harmony with the exceptional technical performances of its movement. Its launch in 2011 was unanimously well received by passionate enthusiasts of the timepieces that have written a chapter in the history of horology and of human adventure.

New Reverso Repetition Minutes a Rideau: technology dedicated to emotions While technology may convince and appeal, only emotions can make a watch truly unforgettable. The kind of emotions that arise when such a miniaturised and sophisticated mechanism is dedicated to flattering the senses and generating authentic pleasure.In 2006, with the Reverso grande complication a triptyque, Jaeger-LeCoultre succeeded for the very first time in equipping a watch with three dials by using the two faces of the case as well as the carrier base! 18 functions had thus been united within a single watch, a performance saluted by the filing of six different patents.This year, the Manufacture is achieving a similar feat but in an entirely different way, by creating several faces thanks to a pivoting curtain that alternately conceals one or other of the dials. The result is four sides and four faces composing an aesthetic and technical accomplishment to which Jaeger-LeCoultre has added an additional tour de force: the operation of one of the noblest horological complications, the minute repeater mechanism, which marks the passing of time by striking the hours, quarters and minutes on demand with an incomparably pure, full-bodied sound. The acoustic quality of a striking watch essentially depends on the gongs which are essential elements in producing the sound. In order to ensure its watches emit a pure and melodious tone, Jaeger-LeCoultre has developed gongs made from a special alloy and machined all of a piece. Their section is square rather than round as is normally the case, in order to provide a larger contact surface for the hammer, which can thus strike with increased force.  

Simply using a fingertip to slide the curtain masking one of the sides of the case reveals its hidden beauty while also activating the minute repeater mechanism! Sliding the white gold window enables the observer to follow the action of the two tiny hammers viewed through the sapphire crystal. To achieve this, the watchmakers have invented a distinctive mechanism they have called "trebuchet hammers" that further enhance the acoustic properties of the striking mechanism. Rather than using a traditional hammer, they have devised a dual-axis construction with a special articulated mobile arm. Activating the mechanism accelerates the movement of the hammers until they touch a tiny fingerpiece which in turn releases a second mobile arm in order to further increase the speed of the hammers at the time of impact. This method uses around 80 per cent of the force deployed by the spring, whereas the traditional system transmits only 10 to 30 per cent of the energy initially exercised.

The manually-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 944 which has just been created marries the traditional art of watchmaking with contemporary technology in a peerlessly refined and elegant manner: all the parts are adorned with Clous de Paris and Côtes de Geneve motifs, circular-grained, snailed, or feature a satin-brushed finish, thereby underscoring the classic beauty of the construction. The steel parts are polished and chamfered, the adjustment screws are blued and the fastening screws are rhodium-plated.

The bridges and mainplate are made in nickel silver, which sets the finishing touch to a classic decoration combined with modern materials.

Atmos clock, Objet d'Art since 1928

The Atmos clock is intimately bound up with time itself. First of all, through its mechanism which is driven by infinitely small successive changes in temperature. And secondly through its style, which has brought it majestically and serenely through the decades for over 80 years. Only the oscillations of its annular balance and the regular dance of its hands serve as sutble reminders that the time is still turning. Two new creations sublimate the spirit of a collection with an almost perpetual mechanism that remains an impressive technical feat to this day. One is a re-edition of a 1930s clock, and the other a contemporary piece in Baccarat crystal designed by Marc Newson. Both express the language of time through a pure design that exalts its inherent complexity.

In 1928, the engineer Jean-Leon Reutter defied physical laws by devising a clock movement designed to run for several centuries without wearing out or requiring any external intervention. Fascinated by this revolutionary invention, Jaeger-LeCoultre applied its manufacturing capabilities to perfecting the mechanism and handling its development. The Atmos clock was born.

Today, although constantly refined, the principle is the same as ever: the energy required to drive the clock is supplied by changes in temperature. The secret lies in a hermetically sealed capsule containing a gaseous mixture - initially mercury - that dilates when the temperature rises and contracts when in drops. In conjunction with the clock's mainspring, the capsule acts as a mechanical lung which 'breathes' in and out, and in doing so winds the barrel in step with atmospheric fluctuations. Even a one-degree Celsius shift is enough to guarantee a full 48-hour power reserve. Its annular balance also operates in an amazingly economical manner: by oscillating just two times per minute, its energy consumption is 250 times less than that of a conventional wristwatch, which beats at an average rate of 300 vibrations per minute. This environmentally-friendly mechanism that was always far ahead of its times is so sparing that it would take 60 million Atmos clocks to equal the energy consumption of a 15-watt electric bulb.
This impressive technical feat is matched by a design that evolves in step with the times. Jaeger-LeCoultre has continuously evolved the Atmos line by imbuing it with a b aesthetic identity. Each model features a clever blend of functionality and style, lending an emotional and cultural dimension to the measurement of time. The new releases introduced in 2010 also highlight the Atmos odyssey in spectacular glass or crystal cases combining art, design and manufacturing expertise.

Atmos Reedition 1930
The Atmos Reedition 1930 is a vibrant tribute to Jean-Leon Reutter and to the era that witnessed the birth of this fabulous mechanism. While the model remains faithful to the original clock, the Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers and designers have been careful to offer the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 560 a means of expression worthy of its technical sophistication. Beneath its bell-shaped glass cabinet, the brass dial clearly proclaims its Art Deco heritage. Its understated elegance is graced with black-tipped white hands gliding over 1930s style handwritten numerals. A broad central opening reveals a glimpse of the intricate workings of the movement, which is entirely hand-decorated in keeping with the noblest fine watchmaking traditions. The pure, airy lightness emanating from this commemorative model is accentuated by a steel base that is so fine as to be as almost invisible, creating a feeling of time literally standing still. The Atmos Reedition 1930 is issued in a limited series of 300.

Atmos 566 by Marc Newson
Two years ago, to mark the 80th anniversary of the Atmos, the Australian designer Marc Newson was given carte blanche to redesign the famous clock: surrounded by a Baccarat crystal bubble, the pure, contemporary curves of the Atmos 561 by Marc Newson commanded immediate attention.

This year, the artist wished to renew his cooperation with Jaeger-LeCoultre. Entranced by the magic of complex horological mechanisms, he has chosen to lend a new face to Calibre 566 which was featured in the Atmos Astronomique presented in 2008. The result is truly majestic: the Atmos 566 by Marc Newson transforms Baccarat crystal into a second skin. Two versions - a limited series of 28 in blue and another 48-piece translucent edition - magnify this encounter between contemporary art and fine craftsmanship, and between technology and aesthetics.
The generously proportioned cabinet allows light to flood in and illuminate the complicated mechanism. The hours and minutes rub shoulders with the sky chart of the Northern hemisphere, with the cardinal points and zodiac. The months are displayed on a rotating disc at 6 o'clock along with the equation of time. This truly fascinating model recounts infinity and conveys a sense of the absolute, transcending both time and space. Its graceful bubble encapsulates the combined manufacturing expertise of Jaeger-LeCoultre and Baccarat, along with the modern inspiration of a legendary designer, and the sophistication of a mechanism powering its complications with an infinitely small amount of energy This rare and precious alchemist's blend transforms the Atmos 566 by Marc Newson into a modern-day classic and a genuine collector's objet d'art.
