Jiggerly-cool's observation of Logan Roy wearing a Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous in HBO's "Succession" challenges traditional gendered marketing in luxury watchmaking. This article explores how a character known for his disregard for convention might redefine perceptions of a timepiece explicitly described by JLC as an "ode to beauty that underscores the female wrist." The discussion delves into the implications of such a choice within the show's intricate portrayal of power and status.

Who here watches HBO's "Succession"?  The watches seen are serious pieces, and I've seen many write-ups analyzing the show's characters and their choices.

Logan Roy clearly doesn't care what others think, as evidenced by 'the astonishingly feminine Rendez-Vous Date' on his wrist
 



JLC’s website description of the Rendez-Vous series: ”An ode to beauty that underscores the female wrist whether by day or at night." Uh, most definitely!

In the show's first episode, a Patek was given as a birthday present. The unimpressed recipient 'regifted' it almost immediately. Watching the latest episode, one can understand why (ha ha)

Most of the time. I think he had on something else at Kendall's party though.

styling the show. The characters are believable but still unique…Shivs aviators, Toms Lacoste etc. It steers the show away from jumping the shark.

And of course, in our household we watch each episode and freeze frame to try to figure out the watches 😂

...that they kept getting feedback from guys asking when yoga tights for men would be launched. In the meantime, they were buying women's Align yoga pants for themselves 😜
