Although relatively new, considering its famed Reverso dates to 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre's dedicated women's collection, Rendez-Vous, has become one of the brand's most beloved. Its latest Rendez-Vous Tourbillon is crafted in 18K white gold with an enchanting blue dial encircled with diamonds. There are also diamonds set around the tourbillon escapement and on the case, lugs and crown, further underscoring its gem-setting expertise. Still, the star of the show is the sophisticated tourbillon escapement. The automatic mechanical movement, caliber 978, consists of 302 parts and offers 45 hours of power reserve. Like its name suggests, this watch is ready for the most luxurious tryst thanks to its brains and beauty.
