Jaeger-LeCoultre Expands Polaris Collection with Sophisticated New Models

Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to enrich its Polaris collection with the introduction of new models and captivating dial variations. The 2024 lineup underscores the brand’s mastery in blending sporty elegance with technical precision, creating timepieces that resonate with modern adventurers.

A pivotal addition to the collection is the Polaris Geographic, which marks the debut of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s signature travel time complication within the Polaris family. This model showcases a sophisticated ocean-grey gradient dial and offers an intuitive approach to displaying multiple time zones. Complementing the Geographic, the Polaris Date receives a fresh update with a new ocean-grey gradient dial, while the Polaris Perpetual Calendar exudes luxury in a pink gold case adorned with a striking gradient green dial.

Introduced in 2018, the Polaris collection redefined the modern sporty-elegant watch. Inspired by the brand’s iconic diving watches from the 1960s, the collection seamlessly merges practical functions with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s signature refined aesthetic. Distinctive design elements, including off-centered crowns, glass-box crystals, and a dynamic interplay of brushed and polished surfaces, characterize the Polaris identity.

A hallmark of the Polaris collection lies in its intricate dials, meticulously crafted through a multi-layered lacquering process. To achieve the stunning gradient effects, up to four layers of color are applied, followed by black to create the desired depth. Subsequent layers of translucent lacquer and meticulous polishing enhance the dial’s richness and visual appeal.

The Polaris Geographic stands out with its innovative approach to travel time. Beyond indicating a second time zone, it incorporates a 24-hour day/night indicator and displays city names corresponding to different time zones. This intuitive system empowers travelers to effortlessly set the second time zone without complex calculations. Powered by the in-house Calibre 939, the watch offers a robust 70-hour power reserve.

The Polaris Date and Polaris Perpetual Calendar benefit from the introduction of new dial colors that elevate their aesthetic appeal. The Polaris Date showcases a captivating ocean-grey gradient dial, while the Polaris Perpetual Calendar exudes luxury with a green gradient dial on a pink gold case. Both models retain the collection’s signature design elements and are equipped with in-house calibres boasting 70-hour power reserves.

The Polaris Geographic is presented with interchangeable straps—textured black rubber and blue-grey canvas—allowing wearers to effortlessly adapt the watch’s style to different occasions. Similarly, the Polaris Date and Polaris Perpetual Calendar offer interchangeable straps, including rubber and leather options, enhancing the watches’ versatility.

With these latest additions, Jaeger-LeCoultre reinforces the Polaris collection’s status as a contemporary classic. The collection seamlessly blends sporty functionality with refined elegance, catering to the discerning individual seeking a timepiece that effortlessly transitions from everyday adventures to sophisticated occasions.
