Elysium
A Landmark Collection by Jaeger-LeCoultre
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Collectibles fourth capsule, launching in Paris, marks the 100th anniversary of the legendary Duoplan movement. Featuring 10 rare Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces, this release showcases the Maison’s continued commitment to feminine luxury watches and technical artistry.
Why This Capsule Matters in Luxury Watchmaking History
Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrates the Duoplan movement anniversary, a hallmark in miniaturization and elegance. Initially introduced in 1925, the Duoplan revolutionized the construction of small but robust movements, especially in women’s watches.
“The Duoplan wasn’t just a movement; it was a philosophy—an emblem of precision, style, and progressive design.”
Vintage Craftsmanship Meets Modern Prestige
The capsule includes standout models like:
- An Art Deco wristwatch collection with diamond settings from the 1930s.
- A 1960s High Jewellery secret watch in white gold with sapphire and diamond rivieres.
- The iconic Duoplan Driver for practical elegance.
Each watch embodies the spirit of vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, blending function and feminine refinement.
