The Master Grande Tradition of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
A perfect blend of technical performances and noble watchmaking traditions.
In 2009, the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux is unveiling some extraordinary timepieces embodying an original symbiosis between the technological breakthroughs of the 21st century and a tribute paid to the finest watchmaking traditions. The new line is distinguished by distinctive aesthetics and the joint presence on each model of two complications interpreted in a manner that is at once historical and innovative. The two first watch creations in the Master Grande Tradition collection feature combinations of functions that are new to the manufacture: on the one hand, the first tourbillon associated with a perpetual calendar; and on the other, the first minute repeater with a two-week power reserve allied with a regulator display. Moreover, this new line will welcome the first ever silicon escapement from the Grande Maison, stemming from the research undertaken in the Jaeger-LeCoultre laboratories and aiming to further enhance the performances of this complicated timepiece. This major innovation will initially enrich the yellow gold limited editions only. The undeniable gain in precision will be certified by a new "1000 Hours Chrono" label developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Master Compressor Diving GMT Lady Céramique
Diamonds meet ceramics for the most feminine of all professional diving watches.
Right
from the time of their introduction in 2007, the Master Compressor
Diving Lady watches signalled the end of the dilemma between
performance and refinement. Active, sporty ladies can now adorn their
wrist with a professional and highly reliable instrument, while not
renouncing nothing of their taste for elegance. Jaeger-LeCoultre's
ladies' marine-inspired line is now reinforcing the technical side
of its nature by appearing clad in a new black ceramic case.
Slightly larger and subtly
slenderer, it accentuates the unique design of the Master Compressor
Diving Lady watches. The designers of the Manufacture have teamed
this innovative material with a black dial, the first in the
collection, featuring a delicately contrasting effect that enhances
the aesthetic equilibrium and the readability of the indications. The
dial are lit up by the presence of 16 diamonds set on the diving
bezel. This harmony between form and function affirms the essential
values of the diving world according to Jaeger-LeCoultre: the
fascination of beauty and the assurance of peerless reliability.
