The story behind this Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous
Jaeger-LeCoultre designed the Rendez-Vous collection, and this Q3448430 model in particular, as a mechanical timepiece exclusively for women. Unlike the common practice of simply reducing the diameter of men’s models, this line has its own distinct design. It pays homage to the first ladies’ watches of the early 20th century. This model is part of this approach, featuring a seamless blend of precision mechanics and gem-setting. The day-and-night indicator integrated into the dial ensures a smooth reading of the time and brings the watch to life in a purely horological manner.
Case, movement and strap of this Rendez-Vous Classic Night & Day
The stainless steel case has a diameter of 34 mm and a thickness of 8 mm. Its bezel is entirely set with 60 brilliant-cut diamonds. Beneath the sapphire crystal, the silver-coloured dial reveals a guilloché centre surrounded by black Arabic numerals. A semi-circular cut-out positioned above the number 6 reveals the day and night indicator, where a sun and a moon studded with stars move across a deep blue disc. The blued steel hands sweep across the dial. The transparent case back allows a view of the in-house Calibre 898A/1 movement. This self-winding mechanism comprises 204 components and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It offers a power reserve of 38 hours and features an open-worked oscillating weight adorned with Côtes de Genève. The midnight blue alligator leather strap is secured by a polished steel folding clasp.
