The latest high jewellery timepiece, Montra Extraordinaire La Rose, launched in Venice International Film Festival.
Extracted from the press release :
Montre Extraordinaire La Rose
A
rose sculpted in white gold blossoms in the glow of the gemstones
outlining its corolla. Transposing nature into a precious gift,
Jaeger-LeCoultre has imagined a “secret” watch in the tradition of its
jewellery sets and Montres Extraordinaires.
Diamonds
and pink sapphires distil their radiance like vibrant declarations of
love. The exquisitely romantic flower conceals beneath one petal a
full-set dial over which the hour and minute hands sweep to the rhythm
of a hand-wound in house-made movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 846.
This
18-carat Haute Joaillerie model shaped by the expert hands of genuine
artists celebrates the union of beauty and precision governed by the
most complex of all gem-setting techniques: snow setting. Invented by
Jaeger-LeCoultre, this subtle art calls upon the full measure of the
jewellery craftsman’s expertise in order to achieve the peerlessly
voluptuous frosted effect. Magical and even hypnotic, the Montre
Extraordinaire La Rose enfolds the wrist in the soft embrace of a
blue-tinged black strap, and is also adorned with ostrich feathers that
gently caress the skin.
After the unveiling, the back-wall began "snowing" ... wonderful effect.
Guests closing in for a view ...
