Description

Boasting an ingenious system of discs that keeps its dial in a permanent whirl of exhilaration, theMaster Spinning is the sort of watch that turns heads. This latest incarnation of the Master line has around, generously proportioned case which is lit up by the sparkling presence of diamonds. It alsohas a self-winding Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre, which has all the legendary qualities of robustness, waterresistance and reliability that characterise the Manufactures movements. Both precision timepieceand splendid jewel, this is a watch born to a very special destiny.The Master Spinning is a watch with a big, bold personality. It burns with the flame-like passion of thebaguette-cut diamonds that sketch a vivid circle of light around its dial. All of the jewellers and designersart has gone into developing a system that is as complex as it is secret and that magically melds acombination of fixed and moving elements into a single spectacular display under the watch glass. Themoving decorative elements consist of a series of concentric discs while the fixed point of this mostdynamic of tableaux is provided by the floral figures. The whole scene shines with the glamour ofprecious stones. One disc bears a row of baguette-cut diamonds which wheel about in a magical circleof light, tracing a sparkling, dancing shadow in their wake as they seek an equilibrium that is only to befound in the never-ending whirl of perpetual motion.Imitating the internal impulses driving forward the watchs movement within, each motion of thewearers wrist spins the magic circle of diamonds, the floral decorations which embellish the dialsperimeter and the central rayonnant motif. The traditional art of the jeweller has been exploited tocreate a frieze whose lines seem suddenly to converge only then to move more inevitably and firmlyapart again in an allegory of hope and waiting. Here, sparkling time is transformed into a playfulrepresentation of a joyous, perpetual chase, conducted to the rhythm of its wearers elegant handmovements.Whether its bezel and horns are also set with baguette-cut diamonds or instead glow with the restrainedelegance of white gold, the Master Spinning is a watch that turns heads in a dazzling celebration ofmovement and life.
