Rendez-Vous Date

In Context

At 37.5 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 8.7 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 43 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

3548490 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a white dial with a stainless steel case.

The mechanical automatic movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899, offers a 43-hour power reserve. Following in the grand tradition of the Manufacture, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899 is decorated and assembled by hand.

8 other watches in the library run the Jaeger-LeCoultre 899.
