Introducing all of Jaeger-LeCoultre's new watches for 2026!

This article summarizes the new Jaeger-LeCoultre models unveiled at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026. The lineup includes the third iteration of the "Hybris Inventiva," three new "Master Control Chronometer" models, and a "Reverso" with delicate embellishments.

"Master Hybris Inventiva Gyrotourbillon Stratosphere"

　Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled the third model in its "Hybris Line," which brings together the company's watchmaking expertise: the "Hybris Inventiva." The Hybris Inventiva incorporates a complex mechanism that was researched and tested by only a select few within the company.

　The first model to be unveiled was the "Master Hybris Inventiva Gyrotourbillon Stratosphere." This timepiece features a triple tourbillon system, with one tourbillon housed within another, achieving rotation on three axes and maintaining accuracy within 98% of all positional errors. Inside, it employs a cylindrical hairspring and ceramic ball bearings to minimize wear, while lightweight titanium is used for the tourbillon carriage. The rotation of the tourbillon can be viewed from the 6 o'clock position.

　The dial is finished with translucent blue enamel and radially spreading guilloché decoration, and the 42mm diameter case is made of platinum.

"Master Control Chronometer Date Power Reserve"

　Jaeger-LeCoultre's "Master Collection" has added three new "Master Control Chronometer" models. What's noteworthy is that they feature a bracelet-integrated case, which is a significant departure from previous Master Collection models.

The "Master Control Chronometer Date Power Reserve" is a model inspired by the "Futurematic," which debuted in 1951, and features two sub-dials. It has a pointer-type date display at 3 o'clock and an arc-shaped power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock. The wedge-shaped indices and dauphine-shaped hour and minute hands are design elements shared with the conventional Master Collection.

　The slim 8.9mm thick case is made of stainless steel. With a diameter of 39mm, it's a comfortable and easy-to-wear size. The bracelet, which extends seamlessly from the case, features a three-dimensional finish with a predominantly hairline texture and polished areas.

　The movement is the slim automatic Cal.738. The 22K pink gold rotor and the hand-finished details can be admired through the transparent case back.

"Master Control Chronometer Perpetual Calendar"

　This is one of three new Master Control Chronometer models announced as part of a new collection. The "Master Control Chronometer Perpetual Calendar" houses Jaeger-LeCoultre's signature perpetual calendar movement in a slim, integrated bracelet case. Two variations are available: a stainless steel case model and an 18K pink gold case model.

　The dial features a blue-gray gradient for the stainless steel case model and a bronze finish for the 18K pink gold case model. The month and year are displayed at 12 o'clock, the day of the week at 3 o'clock, the moon phase at 6 o'clock, and the date at 9 o'clock, eliminating the need for calendar adjustments until 2100 as long as the hands continue to run.

　Despite featuring an automatic perpetual calendar movement, the case thickness is kept to a mere 9.2mm. The case seamlessly connects to the bracelet, tapering towards the buckle.

"Master Control Chronometer Date"

　The third in the Master Control Chronometer series is the simple "Master Control Chronometer Date." Its layout, featuring a center seconds hand and a date display at 3 o'clock, makes it a design that harmonizes well with business settings. The lineup includes models with a stainless steel case and a blue-gray gradient dial, and models with an 18K pink gold case and a bronze-colored dial.

　The case is slightly smaller than the other two models, measuring 38mm in diameter and 8.4mm in thickness. The bracelet, made of the same material as the case, forms a smoothly tapered line from the side of the case. The screws for removing the bracelet links are located on the inside, resulting in a clean and streamlined appearance.

　The movement is the Cal. 899, Jaeger-LeCoultre's flagship three-hand automatic movement. In addition to having a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, the 22K gold rotor and the striped decoration on the bridges can be admired through the transparent case back.

"Master Hybris Mechanica Ultra-Slim Minute Repeater Tourbillon"

　The new "Master Hybris Mechanica Ultra-Slim Minute Repeater Tourbillon" features a minute repeater and a flying tourbillon. The Cal. 362 movement powering this timepiece is the world's thinnest automatic minute repeater tourbillon.

　The openworked dial allows for a full view of the intricate movement. At the 6 o'clock position is a flying tourbillon that completes one rotation per minute, allowing you to enjoy watching the hammers, governor, racks, and levers—essential components for activating the minute repeater—in motion. The minute repeater's structure has been redesigned to minimize vertical space in order to achieve a thinner movement without compromising acoustic performance.

　To make the movement thinner, the automatic winding mechanism has also been cleverly designed. The Cal.362 employs an outer peripheral rotor, preventing the rotor from adding bulk. The rotor's rotation can also be viewed from the dial side.

　The case is made of 18K pink gold. With a diameter of 41.4mm and a thickness of 8.25mm, it boasts an astonishingly thin profile for a complication watch.

"Master Grand Tradition Tourbillon Jumping Date"

　The "Master Grand Tradition" complication watch, featuring a three-dimensional design with openwork, has been unveiled. This model features a tourbillon at 6 o'clock, a 24-hour second time zone display at 12 o'clock, and a jumping date pointer on the outer edge that appears to leap over the tourbillon. An opening is provided at 9 o'clock to allow the wearer to visually enjoy the mechanism of the jumping date.

　The deep blue dial features a translucent enamel finish over an 18K pink gold base. Barleycorn decorations covering the entire surface create a sense of depth.

　The case is made of 18K pink gold. It is paired with a black alligator leather strap fitted with a folding buckle, also made of 18K pink gold.

　This watch is powered by the Cal.978 movement. The transparent case back allows you to admire the exceptional craftsmanship, including the 22K gold rotor and the striped bridges.

"Reverso One Capsule Collection Series: La Vallée des Merveilles – The Mysterious Valley™"

　The Reverso One, a highly popular ladies' watch from Jaeger-LeCoultre, has announced a limited-edition capsule collection series, "La Vallée des Merveilles – The Mysterious Valley™". This capsule collection consists of the Reverso One Hibiscus Sirius, Reverso One Hibiscus Rosa, and Reverso One Sakura, and features decorations by the Métiers-Arts™ workshop themed on the natural beauty of Hawaii and Japan.

　The Reverso One Hibiscus Sirius and Reverso One Hibiscus Rosa are models inspired by the untouched nature of Hawaii. On the case back, the former features an akialoa fluttering in the air, sipping nectar from a blue hibiscus flower, while the latter depicts an akialoa perched on a red hibiscus flower, both rendered using the grand feu champlevé enamel technique.

　The Reverso One Sakura features a white red-crowned crane standing by a lake under a cherry tree on its case back, depicted using grand feu champlevé enamel, engraving, and gem setting techniques.

　All models are equipped with the in-house hand-wound Cal.846 movement and feature an 18K gold case.

"Reverso Tribute Enamel Katsushika Hokusai Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces Series"

　The Reverso Tribute, which inherits the design of the original Reverso introduced in 1931, has added four new models that pay homage to Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan's leading 19th-century artists. Each model depicts Hokusai's "Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces" in grand feu enamel detail. The chosen themes are "Rouben Waterfall at Oyama, Sagami Province," "Kiyotaki Kwan-on Temple at Sakashita, Tokaido," "Yoro Waterfall in Mino Province," and "Aoi-ga-oka Waterfall in Edo." Each watch is finished by artisans at the Métiers-Arts™ workshop and will be sold in a limited edition of 10 pieces.

　The dials are finished with guilloché and grand feu enamel, and each model is given a different decoration and color. The "Rouben Falls of Oyama, Sagami Province" model has a barleycorn-decorated walnut brown dial, the "Kiyotaki Kwan-on of Sakashita, Tokaido" model has a wave-patterned emerald-colored dial, the "Yoro Falls of Mino Province" model has a bamboo pattern and an olive-colored dial, and the "Aoi-ga-oka Falls of Toto" model has a herringbone-patterned cyan blue dial.

　The movement is the in-house hand-wound Cal.822, and the case is made of 18K white gold.
