Explore the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Date Mother of Pearl dial from SIHH 2015. Available in rose gold or steel, featuring Caliber 899.

Amanico shares his 'coup de cœur' for the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Date with a Mother of Pearl dial, unveiled at SIHH 2015. He highlights its elegant design, available in rose gold or stainless steel, and notes its appeal beyond traditional women's watches.

Another " coup de cœur " for me, this year, for the Rendez Vous Date Mother of Pearl dial.

Available in rose gold or in stainless steel, this Watch doesn't have the " blingy " look of the paved bezel and / or case versions, as the diamonds " chatons " are ised as 5 minute indexes.

The heated blue florale hands, shaped as a fountain pain, adds to the romantic character of this model.

The date is particulary well integrated in this case ( Yes, the Anti Date in me can sometimes enjoy a date... ).

For your information, the case is 37, 5 mm big, and 8, 7 mm high.

Inside, beats the the famous automatic movement Cal 899.

I have been told by JLC that some gentlemen started to buy the Rendez Vous for themselves...

I am not sure at all I would, but my wife has got an interested eye on this one...

Now, it is time to share some pictures, don't you think?

Rose Gold:

Stainless Steel:

I must say that I am more and more liking this case. These lugs, the proportions, the shape...

I asked JLC the true meaning of the Rendez Vous name, by the way, as not all the Watches from this line have the rendez vous reminder function.

The answer is : A meeting between Ladies and Fine Horology.... That sounds pretty well!

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The larger 37.5mm case size of the Rendez-Vous Date, a response to collector feedback, was particularly welcomed by those who found the previous 34mm version too small.
The Mother of Pearl dial and the absence of a fully paved bezel contribute to a less 'blingy' aesthetic, making the watch appealing to a broader audience, including some gentlemen.
The integrated date display and the heated blue florale hands were praised for enhancing the watch's romantic character and overall design harmony.
There is significant community interest in the stainless steel version, with collectors anticipating its price point and availability.

+1 on liking this offer in ss.. Very harmonic appeal +functionally balanced .. And yes..

.. I have shown this one to my dear wife, she likes it quite a bit ! I also really liked the dial and the size,. going nicely along with current tastes for ladies.. Charming ! And if the prize for the ss version will not be over the top, this might be a winner. Pretty likely one of the new ones to also have our ladies looking at.. Thx for the lovely weekend- share & nice pics ! Best & HAGWE ! hs

Let's not forget the case, which I find very nice, too.

Especially without all these diamonds... Thanks for your feedback, my dear friend. Nicolas

No diamonds on case outside.. But aren't there the tiny stones near/ on the 5mins indices !

Yes, but much more discrete than what we are used to see with the Rendez Vous Line. [nt]
