EDITOR'S REVIEW
Unveiled at the 2014 Watches & Wonders haute horlogerie salon in Hong Kong, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Ivy Minute Repeater is the first minute repeater watch the company has developed for women. The minute repeater's warm, rich and feminine melody is achieved by two patented trebuchet hammers, which strike two crystal gongs, chiming the hours and minutes when required. The 39mm white gold case is set with a double row of pavé diamonds on the bezel as well as on the lugs, crown and push pieces and features a beautiful deep blue enamel dial decorated with a sunburst guilloché motif with snow-set diamond ivy leaves swirling across the face. With elongated Arabic numerals that appear to have grown out of the ivy, time is told by the central Florale hour and minute hands. Equipped with calibre 942A, the self-winding movement has a 43-hour power reserve. Presented on a blue satin strap, this watch is an acoustic delight.
*This watch is priced at £203,000
