Last year, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Grand Complication Celestial, a masterpiece of astronomical precision. This year at SIHH, the brand unveiled the Rendez-Vous Celestial, a feminine counterpart that celebrates the beauty of the constellations, adorned with even more diamonds. If you own the previous men’s version, this is the perfect companion piece — a poetic gift for your partner.
The 18K white gold case features an unusual time scale from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., revealing a mesmerizing blue starry sky disk — the true hours of romance.
The star chart is carved from lapis lazuli, a deep-blue gemstone whose Latin name means “stone of the sky.” The rotating celestial disk completes one full revolution every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds, accurately reflecting the night sky’s movement. Each major constellation of the months is delicately engraved on the dial, and a charming comet-shaped hand points to the corresponding zodiac — an irresistible detail for any woman with a poetic soul.
Through the sapphire crystal caseback, the beautifully decorated Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 809 is visible, featuring fine finishing and a sunray-patterned oscillating weight. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 43-hour power reserve.
