Wow Watch Wednesday: Jaeger-LeCoultre Haute Joaillerie Collection
We like to think we know our place here at The Watch Lounge, and that place typically takes us far away from the more mainstream brands. However, when we saw the gorgeous new Haute Joaillerie collection from master-watchmakers Jaeger-LeCoultre, we simply could not resist. Take one look at the photos and we’ll think you’ll understand why. If you have been looking for a sophisticated, elegant gift for that someone special than you may have just found it (assuming that it is, that you can choose just one!)
Decorative Art
According to the highly respected Marque this year’s new Haute Joaillerie models tell the tale of an enchanting time in which watchmaking magic is admirably expressed through that of the decorative arts.
Undoubtedly there is a little bit of PR fluff in there but we have to say that this is one of the most balanced collections we have seen in some time. For the most part the timepieces retain a level of mechanical complexity that will satisfy the true aficionados of the brand, including complications such as tourbillions and power reserves, whilst at the same time showcasing the exceptional talents of the craftsmen who have transformed these blank canvases into genuine works of art.
The exceptional attention to detail and hand-finished touches are apparent in every facet of these timepieces, and in conjunction with the creative yet mildly constrained designs, they come together to form a truly stunning range, offering potential clients a somewhat varied assortment of luxurious Haute Joaillerie pieces to choose from.
Certainly we won’t go as far as to say that there is something for everyone here, but for true lovers of aesthetically inspired timepieces this new collection certainly warrants a closer look.
The Final Word
Jaeger-LeCoultre will always hold a special place in our hearts, for no other reason than that they are, in our humble opinions, one of the best luxury watch manufacturers in the world. They craft sensational timepieces which are renowned for both their quality and complexity, and carry a name that is held in the highest esteem the world over.
The focus of this new Haute Joaillerie collection, as the name suggests, is primarily on the pieces’ superb aesthetic features. However, unlike so many other jewellery collections, you can be absolutely certain that you are buying both a work of art and an exceptionally well made timepiece.
And for us, that makes all the difference.
