The Night & Day mechanism distils the 24-hour cycle of light and darkness into a captivating display on the wrist. Set on a mother-of-pearl disc, a polished golden sun alternates with a crescent moon set on a background of stars.

The very first wristwatches were worn by women in the early 1900s and were only later adopted by men. Edmond Jaeger and Jacques-David LeCoultre quickly understood that the wristwatch would revolutionise the entire industry. They also understood how this revolution could change the entire approach to watchmaking. The drive to craft watches that were thinner, more complex and that featured elements of high jewellery and complications, was inspired by women. For women, a watch was not only to tell time, but it was an ornament, a jewel, to accompany them throughout day and night Our Rendez-Vous collection continues this proud tradition today.
