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.

Sp80 presenta el diseño final del barco en busca del récord mundial de velocidad de navegación

• El SP80 está listo para mostrarle al mundo el diseño final, que alcanzará los 80 nudos (150 km/h) impulsado por el viento.
• En construcción desde el verano de 2021, este barco futurista de 10 por 7 metros contará con dos pilotos.
• El “cohete marino” se lanzará a finales de año, con los primeros intentos de récord planeados para el verano de 2023.
• Ya patrocinado por la marca relojera suiza Richard Mille, SP80 está lanzando una campaña para identificar un grupo final de patrocinadores .

Del concepto a la realidad Establecido en 2018, SP80 ha estado coordinando la etapa crítica de la producción de embarcaciones durante los últimos 6 meses. Este velero con forma de nave espacial ha sido diseñado para alcanzar los 80 nudos (150 km/h), rompiendo el récord mundial de velocidad de navegación. Limitada por los requisitos de confidencialidad, la empresa suiza hasta ahora solo ha mostrado un concepto que permite a los espectadores comprender los principios de funcionamiento del barco, sin revelar ningún elemento de diseño definitivo.

Hoy, la construcción ha avanzado hasta la etapa en que el equipo se siente listo para revelar el diseño final. Si bien los principios siguen siendo los mismos, un velero extraordinario remolcado por una cometa, el barco será más grande que el concepto inicial (es decir, 10 m de largo y 7 m de ancho). Con una forma más elegante y líneas alargadas y agresivas, también se han refinado otros elementos para aumentar la estabilidad de la estructura; un punto clave en la estrategia de récord defendida por SP80. La joven empresa suiza está en camino de redefinir los códigos arquitectónicos del mundo de la navegación.

Una cabina con espacio para dos Recién terminado por el reconocido astillero Persico Marine, el casco principal llegará en abril a las instalaciones del SP80 en Renens (Suiza). Esta primera parte revela un elemento crucial de la cabina: puede llevar dos pilotos a bordo. Uno pilotará la cometa mientras que el otro dirigirá el bote. “Muy temprano en nuestra fase de desarrollo, estaba claro que estar solo a bordo no era una opción para acelerar con seguridad hasta 80 nudos”. – dice Benoît Gaudiot, cofundador y piloto. “¡A 150 km/h, es fundamental concentrarse en una sola tarea! Así, tendremos un piloto dirigiendo la cometa, mientras que un copiloto asegurará la trayectoria del barco. Sin embargo, a velocidades bajas, es decir, alrededor de 30 nudos, el barco se puede navegar solo, lo que nos permitirá dar la bienvenida a los pasajeros a bordo para experimentar algo extraordinario”. A 80 nudos, es fundamental garantizar la máxima seguridad para los pilotos. ¡La cabina ha sido diseñada para soportar aceleraciones de hasta 50G! También se ha reforzado con Kevlar® para proteger a sus ocupantes de posibles esquirlas de carbono en caso de colisión. Como un barco que navega a 150 km/h en el agua equivale a un Fórmula 1 en tierra, los pilotos irán equipados en consecuencia: asientos baquet, arneses de 6 puntos y cascos. 

En caso de emergencia, también tendrán a su disposición máscaras de oxígeno, ¡algo nunca antes visto en el mundo de la vela! los conductores estarán debidamente equipados: asientos baquet, arneses de 6 puntos y cascos. En caso de emergencia, también tendrán a su disposición máscaras de oxígeno, ¡algo nunca antes visto en el mundo de la vela! los conductores estarán debidamente equipados: asientos baquet, arneses de 6 puntos y cascos. En caso de emergencia, también tendrán a su disposición máscaras de oxígeno, ¡algo nunca antes visto en el mundo de la vela!
Calendario y próximos pasos Mientras el astillero continúa con la construcción de la manga y los flotadores, el equipo SP80 se hará cargo del casco principal e integrará todos los sistemas mecánicos. El montaje final del barco está previsto para el próximo otoño con una botadura oficial antes de finales de 2022. Tras unos meses de optimización y pruebas, los primeros intentos de récord tendrán lugar en el verano de 2023 en el sur de Francia.

Guiada por sólidos valores, la compañía ya ha asegurado varias asociaciones notables. Actualmente, el equipo está comenzando su última campaña de búsqueda de socios. Las investigaciones se centran en las marcas suizas, con el objetivo de crear colaboraciones que vayan más allá de los acuerdos de patrocinio.

“Gracias a nuestros socios actuales, hemos podido realizar este barco revolucionario con una fecha de lanzamiento a finales de este otoño”. – dice Mayeul van den Broek, cofundadora y directora de proyectos.
“2023 será un año decisivo, con los últimos preparativos para batir el récord de 80 nudos y hacer historia en la navegación. Actualmente estamos buscando las últimas alianzas financieras y técnicas para llevar la aventura hasta la meta. ¡Todo el equipo está muy orgulloso de que este concepto se haga realidad y estamos ansiosos por revelar y probar finalmente nuestro diseño final en el agua! ”
