Jaeger-LeCoultre launched a number of women’s watches this year, which has the momentum of women’s watches. The dating series is the main force among them, from moon phase watches to day and night models, from large women’s watches to Mid-size watches, this year’s Jaeger-LeCoultre dating series has a lot to see. This time I bring you the metal chain moon phase of the dating series. This watch is undoubtedly a luxury style in the dating series. Not only the case bracelet is made of precious metals, but the bezel is set with diamonds.

   In the dating series, there are not many metal chain watches like this. Unlike the metal chains of men’s watches, the metal chains of women’s watches have been specially designed to show the soft beauty unique to women, so the bracelet is not traditionally regular. The connection design is like the feeling of a bead curtain. Each bracelet has a slight arc, and the edges are curved. Just such a metal chain has a higher value. In addition, the buckle of the metal chain also needs to be specially designed, so as not to increase the thickness as much as possible, and the appearance should not be smooth after fastening, so most brands will use hidden buckles, and Jaeger-LeCoultre is no exception.

   In addition to its good-looking appearance, another design of this watch is an ultra-large moon phase at 6 o’clock. This large moon phase is also different from the conventional large moon phase. It is set against a gold background disk and passes through a bezel. Is a combination display that realizes the moon phases. Of course, this is just its appearance. Its powerful precision characteristics make people startled. Official information shows that this moon phase watch of the Jaeger-LeCoultre dating series can achieve 985 years of moon phase accuracy, that is, you If you want it to have a one-day error, you have to wait for nearly a thousand years.
