Introducing masterpieces created by Jaeger-LeCoultre, one of the leading manufactures!
Jaeger-LeCoultre is a luxury watch brand that began in 1833 with a workshop opened by Antoine LeCoultre in the Vallée de Joux in Switzerland. While a leading manufacturer with a history of supplying movements to renowned brands, the company is also known for developing women's watches as early as the 19th century. Before the advent of wristwatches, the company incorporated clocks into decorative items such as pendants and brooches, and in 1929 developed the Caliber 101, an extremely small movement for high jewelry watches, creating many unique timepieces for women.
This attitude remains unchanged even today, with their signature Reverso model available in multiple sizes, and in 2012 they launched the Rendez-Vous women's collection. While Jaeger-LeCoultre may seem like a somewhat niche brand to those unfamiliar with luxury watches, their collections, imbued with solid technical expertise and sophisticated aesthetics, are sure to appeal to a wide range of people. Here are five watches from the company's proud lineup that we particularly recommend for women.
"Reverso Classic Monoface" Ref. Q2608440
The Reverso Classic is an iconic watch with a simple yet appealing design. The Reverso is available in multiple sizes, so you can choose the one that best suits your wrist. Manual winding (Cal. 846). 18 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve of approximately 38 hours. Stainless steel case (35.78mm x 21mm, 7.4mm thick). Water resistant to 3 bar. Price: 1,218,800 yen (tax included).
This is a small-sized model of the Reverso Classic. The Reverso collection features an inverted case to protect the crystal from impacts during polo matches. The front and back can be changed by sliding the middle case. There are two types: monoface, which has a solid back, and duoface, which has a dial on the back as well. This model is a monoface model. The back can be personalized with engravings of text or illustrations.
The overall design is the most orthodox of the Reverso models, with a guilloched center, printed Arabic numeral indexes, and blued steel baton-type hour and minute hands.
The stainless steel case is rectangular. The three lines in the gadroon style, an iconic design of the Reverso, are decorated near the lugs. The movement is a manual winding Cal. 846.
"Reverso Classic Duet" Ref. Q2572570

This model features a gorgeous 18K pink gold case and a reversible duoface. The front features a silver dial with applied Arabic numerals and baton hands, while the back features an elegant black lacquer dial with dauphine hands. The unique appeal of a duoface is the ability to instantly switch dials to suit the occasion or your mood.
Another distinctive feature of this watch is the brilliant-cut diamonds set near the lugs of the case. The glittering case will elegantly decorate your wrist, from casual dress-up to party scenes. The strap is made of taupe-colored alligator leather.
The watch is powered by the automatic Cal. 968A movement. The time on both the front and back dials can be adjusted simultaneously when the movement is pulled out to the first position. Because of its slim design, the case is just 9.5mm thick, even though it's an automatic model with a duoface dial.
"Rendez-Vous Classic Moon" Ref.Q3572430
The dial is characterized by its elegant design, featuring softly typed Arabic numerals, a moon phase display, and guilloched details. The movement can be admired through the see-through caseback.

The Rendez-Vous women's collection was launched in 2012. This particular model is particularly glamorous. The silver guilloched dial features elegantly typed Arabic numerals and a moon phase display. A moon disc studded with stars on a dark blue lacquer background allows you to see the phases of the moon. Brilliant-cut diamonds set into the dial and bezel add a touch of sparkle to the mystical scene of the moon phase. There are a total of 107 diamonds, totaling 0.76 carats.
The round case is crafted from 18K pink gold. The short lugs give it a compact look. The strap is made from black alligator leather. It features a quick-release mechanism that allows the strap to be easily removed from the case by operating the lever with your finger.
The movement is the automatic Cal. 925A, and the striped rotor, bridge, and blued hands can be seen through the see-through case back.
Rendez-Vous Classic Night & Day Ref. Q3448410
This model features a three-dimensional night and day display. Subtly set diamonds add sparkle to your wrist. The dial features guilloched patterns with different patterns on the center and periphery. Automatic movement (Cal. 898A). 30 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve of approximately 38 hours. Stainless steel case (diameter 34mm, thickness 8.52mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Price: 1,834,800 yen (tax included).
The Rendez-Vous features a stainless steel case that is convenient for everyday use. Like the aforementioned model, it features elegantly typed floral numeral indexes and floral-shaped hour and minute hands. The silver dial with radial guilloched detailing features an oval opening at 6 o'clock, which allows for the night and day function. Diamonds set in line with the indexes add a subtle sparkle.
The case measures 34mm in diameter and 8.52mm thick, giving it a bold presence and elegance that fits neatly under your cuff. It is water resistant to 3 bar, so as long as you take a little care, you can use it safely in your daily life.
The strap is made of blue alligator leather, matching the color of the hands and the Night & Day logo. It is equipped with a folding buckle, making it easy to put on and take off from the wrist. A lever is located at the base of the strap, allowing you to easily change the strap by sliding it with your finger.
Master Ultra Slim Date, Ref. Q1238480
A refined dress watch with a slim case. Its 39mm diameter makes it easy to share with your partner. Automatic (Cal. 899). 32 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve of approximately 38 hours. Stainless steel case (39mm diameter, 7.89mm thick). Water resistant to 5 bar. Price: 1,487,200 yen (tax included).
The Master Ultra Slim collection is a simple dress watch that is highly popular with both men and women. This time, we're introducing a practical model with a date display at 6 o'clock. The dial has a subdued blue-gray color, and the sunray finish adds a touch of elegance. The wedge-shaped indexes and dauphine-shaped hour and minute hands create a classic look.
As the name "Ultra Slim" suggests, it features a slim case just 7.89mm thick. The chamfered lugs create a three-dimensional effect despite the slim case. The polished, refined design blends in well with formal occasions.
The black alligator strap can be easily removed from the case using a quick-change mechanism, and the folding buckle reduces the strain on the wrist when putting the strap on and taking it off.
It is equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre's signature automatic movement, Cal. 899, and its finish and movement can be viewed through the see-through case back.
