Jaeger-LeCoultre goes back in time with new luxury watches
Swiss company’s latest collection of five timepieces inspired by its iconic Memovox Polaris, which was first launched in 1968
Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre has released a new collection of elegant, yet contemporary and sporty, watches inspired by its iconic Memovox Polaris watch first launched in 1968.
Comprising five models – a three-hand automatic, a chronograph and a chronography world time and two vintage models – the new Polaris collection features the same design as the original watch, but with contemporary touches.
The dials of the new collection are available in black or ocean blue with sunrayed, grained and opaline finishes; hands are filled with Super-LumiNova – the brand name of glowing pigments – which provide better visibility in low light.
The two vintage models, Polaris Date and Polaris Memovox, both in stainless steel, features the classic design — vanilla Super-LumiNova, triangle and trapezoidal indices, four Arabic numbers and a railway track for the minutes.
The Polaris Memovox, which has been designed with the same alarm function featured in the original model, pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Memovox Polaris watch and has been produced in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces.
