Jaeger-LeCoultre: The art of exalting time

-

dubai — High jewellery and its craft traditions are characteri­sed by the pursuit of excellence, a painstakin­g thoroughne­ss, and minute attention to detail — their raison d’être is to produce a sense of wonder. The desire to exalt the present instant with beauty — unforgetta­ble, stirring beauty — is the passion that drives each of the manufactur­e’s artisans. Cinema is intimately bound up with JaegerLeCo­ultre’s world, akin to the craft of watchmakin­g in that same creative impulse that runs through its ingenuity and technical virtuosity.

Slowly, painstakin­gly, just as the master jeweller carefully selects each precious stone before skilfully setting it into the dial of a watch, actors and directors meticulous­ly plan every detail of their films to breathe life into a gem that draws the spectator into its world. A talent for precision, exceptiona­l know-how, selecting the very best tools — these elements are as much a part of the filmmaker’s and actor’s art as the jeweller’s. Being an artist means crafting emotions.

And when an actress at the height of her powers walks up the red carpet to collect the most glittering prize of her career, what better adornment than the sparkle of precious jewels on her wrist? Every day Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Rare Handcrafts Métiers Rares master jewellers enhance the Maison’s timepieces with a timeless brilliance that pays homage to the beauty of women.
