The “Jaeger LeCoultre Rectangle Model” has arrived for the first time in a while,
It's actually a surprisingly rare watch.
When you look at the design, you might think, "Oh? Is that a Cartier watch?"
Yes, Jaeger-LeCoultre is an entity that cannot be separated from Cartier.
The existence of Cartier today is largely due to the influence of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the most famous watch brands these days.
About 20 years ago, the only people who knew about it were those who were interested in watches.
It is a niche brand that is almost unknown to the general public.
Even if you mention the name, the level of recognition is as simple as "Is this a car manufacturer?"
With the luxury watch boom at the end of the 2000s, Jaeger-LeCoultre suddenly became famous.
Nowadays, many models such as Reverso are chosen,
Jaeger-LeCoultre is more of a "watch brand" than a watch brand.
"Watch manufacturer" may be a more correct position.
Some manufacturers make the exterior and internal movements of watches in-house, while others
Some manufacturers outsource the production of each item.
Cartier is one of the manufacturers that outsources each part.
We have asked Jaeger-LeCoultre to produce the movement.
Now under the same Richemont group,
In other words, we are like brothers.
The rectangle model that arrived this time,
The design is somewhat reminiscent of the Cartier Tank.
Maybe it was designed by a Cartier designer.
I fantasize about such things, but
If you use Jaeger-LeCoultre's movement on the tank,
The price will be close to 2 million yen.
If you think about it, watches with similar designs using machines from the same manufacturer,
It's more affordable than you think.
Furthermore, it has a blue color dial that shows the condition very clearly.
It's surprisingly rare to find something this beautiful.
It has a moderately small size and is almost the same as the LM size of the tank.
It's large enough to be worn by women, so it can also be used for both purposes.
An easy-to-use stainless steel case with a navy dial, which I personally like.
I don't see it much these days, so I want it even more (lol)
Hurry up too!
