Jaeger-LeCoultre se complace en nombrar a Anya Taylor-Joy como nueva embajadora de la Maison, marcando su debut con un breve video A Call of the Heart, basado en una llamada telefónica simbólica que le dio la bienvenida a La Grande Maison. Durante la llamada, Anya lleva el Reverso Duetto Small en oro rosa, que presenta una esfera blanca plateada en el anverso y una esfera negra y gallones engastados de diamantes en el reverso.

El video se inspiró en una llamada telefónica histórica que iba a tener un profundo impacto en la Manufactura LeCoultre. En 1903, Jacques-David LeCoultre hizo un llamado al relojero parisino Edmond Jaeger para que aceptara el desafío de este último de crear un movimiento de reloj ultraplano, y así comenzó una larga y fructífera colaboración que condujo a la formación de la compañía Jaeger-LeCoultre.

“El encuentro con Anya estaba destinado a ser. Su larga historia familiar con el polo y su interés por la relojería nos llevaron a una asociación natural”, dice Catherine Rénier, directora ejecutiva de Jaeger-LeCoultre. “Con su belleza etérea, su sensibilidad, su talento y su ética trabajadora, encarna los valores y el estilo de nuestra Maison”.

Reconocida como uno de los talentos más emocionantes de su generación, Anya Taylor-Joy es la encarnación viva de la feminidad moderna. Su presencia en pantalla tiene una cualidad mercurial: sobrenatural pero intensamente presente, intrépida pero vulnerable, inocente pero peligrosa.

Nacida en Miami de padres británico-argentinos, y criada en Buenos Aires y Londres, la actriz de 26 años ganó excelentes críticas por su destacada actuación en The Witch de Robert Egger en 2016. Siguieron una serie de papeles aclamados por la crítica y, en 2020, el éxito de Netflix The Queen’s Gambit disparó a su estrella a la estratosfera; su fascinante interpretación de Beth Harmon le valió un Globo de Oro, un premio Screen Actors’ Guild y un premio Critics’ Choice.

A esto le siguieron papeles importantes en Last Night in Soho de Edgar Wright y The Northman de Robert Eggers, y próximamente se la verá en Amsterdam de David O. Russell con Christian Bale y Margot Robbie, así como en la comedia de terror de Mark Mylod The Menu con Ralph Fiennes y Nicholas Hoult. Anya actualmente está filmando Furiosa, la precuela de Mad Max.

CAPTURING THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW JAEGER-LECOULTRE RENDEZ-VOUS DAZZLING STAR

Jaeger-LeCoultre presents In Pursuit of Chance a poetic and captivating video unveiling the new Rendez-Vous Dazzling Star watch, starring Amanda Seyfried. Friend of the House, Amanda’s acting talent and magnetic on-screen presence bring to life the story of a modern romance quest.  In a mysterious and dramatic setting, the new video invites viewers to reflect on the meaning of chance, in life, in love and in the stars.

In Pursuit of Chance encapsulates the concept of manifestation – that our lives are not purely a matter of luck; by clarifying our intentions and imparting them to the universe, we create the conditions where we can accomplish our desired destiny and make our dreams a reality. The shooting star becomes a metaphor for the power of manifesting – a physical, real-world phenomenon that represents the metaphysical, this random celestial phenomenon mirrors the apparent randomness of chance.

 “I loved making this short film because I see a parallel in my own life,” says Amanda. “To me, shooting stars can symbolise change and give us hope. Anytime I make a wish on a shooting star, I believe that something magical and mysterious is about to happen. By making a wish, I’m challenging myself to make a difference in my life and it feels that the universe allows me to.”

The video was shot at the legendary estate designed and built by artist and sculptor Xavier Corbero in Barcelona. The architecture itself takes the form of a monumental sculpture, with geometric concrete structures stacked at different heights and linked by floating staircases and curved arches to create a dramatic and maze-like effect.

In this theatrical, otherworldly setting, with the starry night sky as a backdrop, Amanda appears wearing the new Rendez-Vous Dazzling Star. As she turns her gaze from the face of the watch to the sky above, a shooting star flashes across the heavens and the story segues between reality and a dreamlike state – from quiet contemplation as she manifests her intentions to the universe, to a sense of urgency as she runs towards her destiny. In that moment, Amanda’s character understands that the shooting star is the catalyst for her wish and, as she looks back at her watch, its shooting star flies across the dial, anchoring her back to reality and leading her to the destiny that she sought.

A Fascinating Timepiece Evokes the Night Sky

Unpredictable, ephemeral and mysterious, shooting stars are the most romantic and intriguing of all the celestial phenomena – fascinating mankind since the dawn of time. Now, they have inspired the watchmakers of Jaeger-LeCoultre, who have recreated their magic on the wrist, thanks to an entirely new mechanism conceived and developed within the Manufacture, causing a shooting star to flash across the dial at random moments.

 “I’ve always been enthralled by the beauty of the starry sky on a clear night and often spend time out in my back yard, gazing up in wonder,” says Amanda. “On rare occasions I’ve been rewarded by the incredibly special sight of a shooting star. It’s amazing to think that the watchmakers at Jaeger-LeCoultre have found a way to capture that magic in a wristwatch.”

With its blue Aventurine dial, the Rendez-Vous Dazzling Star exquisitely captures the beauty of a star-studded night sky, accentuated by the two rings of diamonds that encircle the watch case – the signature of the dazzling Rendez-Vous. In the centre of the dial, framed by another ring of diamonds, three discs are layered over one other, concealing the shooting star when it is inactive. Activated by the movement of the wrist, the shooting star briefly appears then disappears – as fleeting, unpredictable and enchanting as the phenomenon that inspired it.

In 2022, Jaeger-LeCoultre pays tribute to the celestial theme in timekeeping and invites you to embark on this Odyssey and discover the astral phenomena that have, for millennia, inspired humans as the basis for measuring time – from the sundial to the first watches equipped with a perpetual calendar; from the immensely large in the skies above us to the immensely small and mechanical worn on the wrist.

Third edition of Discovery Workshops offered by Jaeger-LeCoultre, this year’s programme at the Atelier d’Antoine is devoted to the Stellar Odyssey theme. A Discovery Workshop created for Fine Watchmaking enthusiasts or beginners – and anyone else curious about the origin of time and how we continue to measure it.

L’Atelier d’Antoine is a rare chance to explore this universe through a hands-on approach that is both theoretical and practical, engaging many senses; you will see rare and ancient artefacts, touch with your heart the reflections of the greatest astronomers, listen to the passage of time and feel with your own hands the mysterious workings of watch mechanisms.

Each workshop is limited to a maximum of eight participants and supervised by a specialist teacher and an expert from the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Participants will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge by complementing their Discovery Workshop with a guided tour of the Manufacture focusing on the same theme – an exceptional opportunity to see in detail a fully integrated watch Manufacture. Named in honour of Antoine LeCoultre, founder of Jaeger-LeCoultre, Atelier d’Antoine is in the heart of the Manufacture, in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland.

Welcome to the Cosmos!

The cosmos, where it all began more than 13 billion years ago with a massive explosion that created the fundamental stars, such as the sun: the heart of our solar system.

Humans have always read the time in the sky, day, and night, and it is thanks to the observation of the stars that mankind has been able to create tools capable of measuring time and understanding cycles.

This three-hour Discovery Workshop is an invitation to a celestial journey and, at the end of it, participants will understand the movements of the heavenly bodies, their anomalies, and the challenges that watchmakers must face to make mechanical these notions drawn from the stars.

Participating in this Discovery Workshop will be an unforgettable experience for anyone wishing to learn more about the fascinating origins of time and the manufacture of an exceptional timepiece.

Jaeger-LeCoultre has created an online booking platform – https://online-booking.jaeger-lecoultre.com/– where visitors can discover more about Atelier d’Antoine and the opportunities it offers, and can book all experiences directly.
