VIDEO: Jaeger-LeCoultre introduce a brand new complication inspired by shooting stars

This is a year of celestial celebration for Jaeger-LeCoultre with “The Stellar Odyssey” collection paying tribute to the centuries-old marriage of astronomy and horology in the most breathtaking ways.

A few examples of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Watches & Wonders releases truly stand out from the crowd, such as the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945 Galaxia and Atomium — not only having one of the coolest names in recent watchmaking, but utilising a “celestial vault” along with a “Cosmotourbillon” to display the movement of constellations as seen from the Vallée de Joux.

Other highlights include the Rendez-Vous Star and Dazzling Star watches that introduce a completely new complication through the Calibre 734, allowing for a random shooting star to flash across the dial four to six times per hour.

More down to earth, quite literally, is the Polaris Perpetual Calendar that brings Jaeger-LeCoultre’s high-end prowess into their flagship sports watch. For more details and footage of these Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, be sure to watch our video.
