BACK TO THE FIFTIES

Staying true to the brand’s philosophy of marrying innovation with tradition, the two new two high-performance Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner timepieces nod to the Maison’s past.

Polaris is a familiar name amongst watch enthusiasts. Drawing upon its diving watch legacy and over a century of expertise in chiming watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents two watches that combine fully ISO 6425-compliant specifications with the sporty-elegant Polaris collection: the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Date.

Highlighted by their rich gradient blue colour, the dials consist of multiple parts finished with different textures – where the sunray-brushed central discs are complemented by the subtle graining of the middle rings and the opaline finish of the outer rings – and feature bold indexes and three Arabic numerals. The Super-LumiNova-filled hands, indexes and numerals, together with the use of different colours, make them readable in low light conditions.
