In the history of Jaeger-LeCoultre and fine Watchmaking, the classical Geophysic Chronometer which is sold at the auction is the only one model inherited. It keeps its time since it was born within The International Geophysical Year of 1958, the long history shows its precision, resistance,ugg boot, and reliability.
When the infinitely small is given pride of place at the heart of one of the largest Reverso watches,diamond earrings, the parade of time becomes an intriguing illusion. Enchantment pervades the transparent intricacies of a model in which Calibre 101 appears to be floating in mid-air.
The trompe-l'?il effect is based on a subtle feature generally reserved for Jaeger-LeCoultre's skeletonised table clocks: fixed to an invisible sapphire crystal, the mechanism floats at the heart of the watch,dkny bag, without even being linked to the crown. The latter can even be removed from the case to serve as a winding tool by sliding it into the recess provided on the back of the movement in order to set the time.
In the feminine interpretation, this fascinating stage-setting succumbs to the mysterious charm of a shimmering landscape composed of mother-of-pearl and diamonds. The size of Calibre 101 is matched by the diminutive size of the snow-setting-a particularly impressive achievement considering the tiny gemstones measuring just 0.5 to 1.2 mm in diameter and the finesse of the gem-set surface.
In the men's version, the scenario is played out in black and white. Onyx and mother-of-pearl provide Calibre 101 with a splendid geometrical backdrop framed on either side by the enamelled gadroons of the white gold case. The contrasting marquetry-worked décor pays vibrant tribute to the Art Deco movement, forcefully evoking the pure and regular linear shapes of that fascinating era. This eminently masculine model, illuminated by its mother-of-pearl flange, distils time in an aesthetic and technically rigorous manner that transforms illusion into glowing reality.
While rows of baguette-cut diamonds accentuate the Art Deco style of the model, the cradle is clothed in a dazzling fairytale radiance: nestling against each other according to the snow-setting technique, the stones completely conceal the underlying metal and form sparkling rays of frost between the swathes of mother-of-pearl.
