- Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital
A watchmaking heart clothed in light.
From sunrise to sunset, each appearance of the fiery orb is a recurrent source of delight. There is however one particular image that stirs even deeper emotions. When the sun shines through a cloud, its rays paint the sky with luminous stripes, blurring the borders between reality and imagination. Jaeger-LeCoultre has drawn upon this dazzling sight in creating a striking Haute Joaillerie model named Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital. In tribute to the heavens, the Manufacture has equipped it with an orbital tourbillon whose slow and fascinating movements create constantly
surprising effects.
The eloquence of gemstones, the virtuosity of an architectural construction, horological innovation: this new creation is a compendium of the skills and expertise cultivated by the artisans of the Manufacture in the Vallée de Joux. They have devoted themselves body and soul to this highly complex achievement. Each technical hurdle overcome, each stone cleverly and deftly placed, is the work of men and women devoted to their craft. The beauty of the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital can be fully appreciated in the light of their talent and their commitment. This is a model to be discovered at its own pace, in step with the feelings its stirs, well beyond any immediate perception.
An original gem-setting structure
The dial of the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital is a theatre, in the literal sense of the term, since it features precisely such a configuration, interpreted in a classical manner inspired by ancient Greece. It is also the ‘play’,
staged and performed for the delight of its wearer.
Interpreting the attractively multi-levelled design of amphitheatres and the resulting depth effect on a watch dial is a challenge in itself. The Manufacture was determined to adopt this approach that infuses the diamonds with peerless fiery intensity. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s longstanding natural affinities with gemsetting are steadily strengthened by the artisans’ desire to give life to their most promising ideas. They have already invented the rock setting technique characterised by the absence of any visible metal holding the stones, as well as that of snow setting and its marvellous ability to convey the magic of nature.
On this model, they have devised a pyramid-style gemsetting technique in which the baguette-cut diamonds are arranged in such a way as to create a volume that unfurls like a dainty corolla, causing the depth effects to heighten the dancing sparkle of the precious stones. Even more surprisingly, the kinetics of the reflections varies according to the time of day and the diamonds’ angle of exposure to the light. The enchantment is endless.
The tourbillon claims star status
On the dial with its sunburst motif, rays of light converge so as to focus attention on the crowning glory of this model: the orbital tourbillon, towards which the eye is naturally guided, before lingering on this astonishing construction. It is hard to tell which aspect is more moving: the tourbillon’s ability to make light of gravity while endowing the watch with remarkable precision; or the sense of magic exuded by its rotating carriage, as airy as a dream in mid-flight. The tourbillon of the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital reproduces the movement of the earth, which makes a complete turn on its axis and in relation to the vernal point in 23 hours, 56 seconds and four seconds – namely a full sidereal day. The entire dial performs this majestically sedate revolution. Each new look at the watch reveals a new surprise. The dial has moved slightly and the diamond rays are pointing to the new tourbillon, which has taken up a new position.
A creation bursting with demanding vitality
Like a merry-go-round that must be driven around in order to delight passengers and admirers alike, the dial with its imposing pyramid-shaped structure bearing the weight of the diamonds calls for a level of energy far superior to that required by a classic construction. The barrel supplying the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital with energy must be up to the task. It testifies to the watchmaking expertise of the Manufacture, which gives free rein to each and every expression of the Grande Maison’s artistic creativity.
Light becomes a tactile experience
The gemsetting of the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital is an invitation to embark on an authentic sensorial journey. Whatever angle it is viewed from, this high-intensity model sends sparks of light flying in all directions. The gemsetter has dealt with each surface of the watch as individual areas to be discovered and enjoyed. The gaze is first caught and held by the three-dimensional gemsetting on the dial. Then the hand takes over. Gliding over the edge of the dial and bezel, fingers gently caress the path of the two rows of baguette-cut diamonds. Their softly undulating feel in itself hints at the dazzling radiance of the gems, as the hand moves down along the sides of the watch, across the gemset lugs and on to the crown with its own precious profile.
The experience is unique, as indeed is the fact of wearing a Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital. It firmly asserts its presence on the wrist, instilling each movement with a sense of nobility and refinement.
