Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Tourbillon Wild, Art Deco Watch

Each year luxury Swiss watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre releases a few so called "jewelry watches." These rare creations for both men and woman are experiments in (often) excess, and design. This is where to look if you prefer your watches diamond covered, but also where you'll find some beautiful artistic creations. For 2010 one of the haute jewelry watch from Jaeger-LeCoutlre is the Master Tourbillon Wild. In an 18k rose (also in white) gold case, the piece is really quite stunning. Decorated with diamonds on the bezel and the lower edges of the case and bezel, it fees like a building outlined with lights. The art deco style motif on the dial feels like an abstract cityscape to me. The buildings emanating from the tourbillon in the center. More diamonds decorate the ring around the tourbillon aperture, in addition to other places on the dial. Inside the piece is a in-house made Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 978 automatic tourbillon movement. Likely sized for ladies, this is a rare and beautiful creation.

Eterna Contessa Ladies Watch Looking Good

by Ariel Adams (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

I was looking at the Contessa lady's watch with its maker Eterna, and it dawned upon me that mere images of the watch on a table weren't enough. The true value of this timepiece would be how it appeared while worn on the wrist. So the nice woman who was showing me the watches modeled a diamond decorated version of the Eterna Contessa watch, and it was looking pretty nice. Seen here is the top-of-the line version of the art deco era inspired watch for women. In steel, the watch is 40mm tall, by about 25mm wide. The case style reminds you of the 1920s, as well as iconic watches such as the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso.

While a few dials are available for this attractive rectangular style watch case, the version here has one in mother-of-pearl with diamond hour markers. The case is also set with diamonds along the bezel and side. There is also a diamond cabochon in the crown. The dial is impressively easy to read - reaffirming Eterna's ideal of having highly legible watches. Here, that fact does not detract from the aesthetic grace of this flattering timepiece. I like the Belle Epoque style font used for the Contessa name on the dial, as well as the tapered rectangle shape on the dial that helps give the watch more of an organic feel, not being too angular.

The pictured watch comes on a white lizard strap, while other colored straps are available as well as a steel bracelet. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA quartz movement. Price is very reasonable given the quality and the weight of the diamonds on the case. I believe it retails well below $10,000, and much less without, or with less diamonds.

There are more and more female pilots these days, but not many pilot watches are designed for women. Chelsea "Juice" Welch, a Santa Monica-based pilot has changed that with her new company Abingdon watches. Abingdon sells two designs, the Amelia, named for Amelia Earhart; and the Jackie, named for Jackie Cochran. The Jackie, shown above, is the girlier watch.

The Jackie sells for $400 and the more basic Amelia is $250.
