SIHH 2017: Live pictures of the Jaeger Lecoultre Rendez Vous Sonatina in White Gold.

Here they are:
I have some informations about that watch. It is a sonnerie en passant, which means that when you set the time of the rendez vous, materialized by the star at two o' clock on these 2 pictures, each time the minute hand " arrives " at ten minutes past the hour, it chimes. One strike, one note played by a Trebuchet Hammer.
So, this watch cannot be seen as an alarm.
Aesthetically, the dial is a marvel, in this version, especially. The hue is as deep as it is captivating.
I for one regret the presence of the jewels on the lugs and bezel. I would have preferred diamonds on the dial, just used as hour markers. Not elsewhere.
Other than that, a Rendez Vous which can be heard, I find the idea great.
Best,
Nicolas
