Jaeger-LeCoultre is delighted to name Anya Taylor-Joy as a new Ambassador for the Maison, marking her debut with a short video A Call of the Heart, based on a symbolic phone call welcoming her into La Grande Maison. During the call Anya wears the Reverso Duetto Small in pink gold, which features a silvery-white dial on the front and a black dial and diamond-set gadroons on the reverse side.

The video was inspired by an historic phone call that was to have a profound impact on the Manufacture LeCoultre. In 1903, Jacques-David LeCoultre made a call to the Parisian watchmaker Edmond Jaeger to accept the latter’s challenge of creating an ultra-thin watch movement – and so began a long and fruitful collaboration that led to the formation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre company.

“The encounter with Anya was meant to be. Her long family history with polo and interest in watchmaking led us to a natural partnership”, says Catherine Rénier, the CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. “With her ethereal beauty, her sensitivity, her talent and hardworking ethics, she embodies the values and style of our Maison.”

Recognised as one of the most exciting talents of her generation, Anya Taylor-Joy is the living embodiment of modern femininity. Her on-screen presence has a mercurial quality – otherworldly yet intensely present, fearless but vulnerable, innocent yet dangerous.

Born in Miami to British-Argentine parents, and raised in Buenos Aires and London, the 26-year-old actress won rave reviews for her breakout performance in Robert Egger’s The Witch in 2016. A series of critically-acclaimed roles followed and, in 2020, the Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit shot her star into the stratosphere; her mesmerising portrayal of Beth Harmon won her a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors’ Guild award and a Critics’ Choice award.

This was followed by major roles in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and Robert Eggers’ The Northman, and she will next be seen in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam with Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, as well as Mark Mylod’s comedy-horror The Menu with Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. Anya is currently filming Furiosa, the Mad Max prequel.

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.
