The thing about watches is, at their basic, all are tech-proof. Most of the timepieces we know today have the same basic mechanism they have had when watches became an important accessory �C an wrist-ament all well-heeled had to possess. So when Jaeger-LeCoultre decided to celebrate his own roots, there was nothing better than being inspired from one of the its own cult pieces, Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Created first in 1931 for colonial polo players, who feared their timepieces would become scratched while in action, the Reverso has since become a benchmark by which most rectangular watches are measured. Now in his 80th year of glory, Jaeger-LeCoultre decide to pay tribute by bringing an Ultra Thin version that mimics its older cousin completely. Inside the watch is JLC manually-wound and hand-decorated ultra-thin movement, the Caliber 822. Offered in limited and non-limited editions, Reverso will be available in steel and pink gold.

Jaeger-LeCoultre's watchmaking expertise is once again highlighted with its three new scintillating collections for 2011 'revealing the mysteries of artistry'. The Master Lady Collection is defined as the eternal feminine range featuring a soft silhouette, sensual curves and innate elegance. The case is clothed in steel and pink or white gold with a line of brilliant-cut diamonds. The chapter ring features rounded contemporary numerals and the dial is adorned with a central circular guilloch�� motif, or a marquetry-work pattern of mother-of-pearl, diamonds or feathers. The Master Lady Night & Day is driven by Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 867A. Versions include the Master Lady Tourbillon, Master Lady Tourbillon Wild and Master Lady Tourbillon Enamel.
