Jaeger LeCoultre Grand Master Tourbillon Continents Watches

by Ariel Adams

This interesting timepiece will arrive in three varieties showing different parts of the world. There is the pictured model showing Asia and the nearby areas, another version focusing on Europe and Africa, and a third version focusing on the Americas. This is another "we can do it" watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre who just recently announced the Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie , which is the most complex watch in the world. While the Tourbillon complication is complex in this Grand Master Tourbillon Continents watch line, the focus is on the artistry on the dial. The dial starts with a machine engraved plate where the continents are outlined, and the vertical texturing is applied within the body of the land masses. The plate is then hand painted with enamel in a champleve technique to apply the various colors in the most delicate of manners. I am almost oversimplifying the process, but you get the idea. The bodies of water are done with a raised wave-like texture that is likely extremely tough to do. Compass symbols line the bezel and double as hour indicators for the hands of the watch. You can see the tourbillon (also the subsidiary seconds dial) through the window at 6 o'clock as part of the Jaeger LeCoultre Calibre 978 manually wound movement. Sapphire crystals cover the top and back of the watch. The Grand Master Tourbillon Continents watch really succeeds in creating a visually stunning map in a technique that few companies can be said to have mastered. Each of the three versions will be limited to 20 pieces in three materials that include 18k white, yellow,or rose gold. Not sure about price but more than likely over $100,000.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grand Tourbillon Continents

Jaeger-LeCoultre is well known for its enamel artistry, and for 2009 the Manufacture launches two new series illustrating two traditional enamel techniques – grand feu and champlevé enameling – on two timepieces in the Jaeger-LeCoultre collection: the Master Minute Repeater and the Master Grand Tourbillon. We will focus on the latter – the Master Grand Tourbillon Continents.

Enameling in its present form originated in the late 15th century, and the art enjoyed its heyday in an era when exploration undertaken by Spanish and Portuguese navigators revealed the existence of previously unknown territories. Jaeger-LeCoultre wished to celebrate the art of enameling and the age of discovery by creating three exclusive Master Grand Tourbillon models presenting the face of our planet. This series is named Continents.

Using the champlevé technique (literally ‘raised field’), the area to be decorated is hollowed out with a burin while leaving aside the partitions marking off the individual ‘honeycomb cells’, representing the motifs to be reproduced on the gold dial plate. The surface of each continent has been engraved and guilloché-worked in the direction of the four points of the compass, echoed on the bezel, while the oceans are distinguished by wavelike decorative effects. The layers of translucent enamel reveal the engraved motifs and confer extraordinary depth and intense colors on this horological planisphere. The bezel is engraved with the geographical coordinates of the central point of the motif, where the hands are fixed.

Each Master Grand Tourbillon in this series presents one of the three large continental ensembles: Asia and Australia, the Americas, and the entity composed of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The first in the series – Asia and Australia – is shown below.
