J aeger -L e C oultre presents a new R endez -V ous D azzling N ight & D ay Reimagine yourself in green C apturing the essence of femininity, the Rendez-Vous Dazzling Night & Day has been reimagined in green – an homage to the unspoilt nature that surrounds Jaeger-LeCoultre’s home in the Vallée de Joux and provides a perpetual source of inspiration. Just as the cosmic cycles inspired Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers to develop a mechanism that displays the night and day on the dial, the fields and forests of the valley inspire designers and artisans of the Manufacture. Presented in pink gold with a glowing green sunray-brushed dial and matching green alligator leather strap, this new rendition of the Rendez- Vous Dazzling Night & Day deftly marries the spirit of fine watchmaking with the codes of high jewellery. The radiance of 168 diamonds draws the eye to the rich colour of the dial. On the bezel, 108 diamonds, form two concentric rings around the case. There is an airy quality to these glittering circles, thanks to the claw (or ‘griffe’) setting of the outer ring of 36 stones. A classical jewellery technique that requires great precision, the claw setting is designed to maximise the presence of each stone by allowing light to pass through the diamonds from every angle while minimising the visible metal. The fine gold claws hold the diamonds high, giving the impression that they are floating around the watch case, rather than anchored to it. Completing the case, an inverted diamond is set into the winding crown and three diamonds are set on each of the four lugs. Simply Abu Dhabi | 135
