It was not only a feat of miniaturisation to perfectly mimic every detail of Monet\u2019s paintings; the enameller also had to create an illusion of the impasto (the textured effect of thicker paint that the artist applied when he finished the canvases in his studio at Giverny) and recreate the dreamlike quality of the originals, with their fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. It required 14 layers of enamel to achieve the desired intensity and depth of colour \u2013 three base layers, four layers of painting and seven layers of translucent \u2018fondant\u2019, with up to 15 separate firings at up to 800\u00b0 Celsius.<\/p>\n<p>The three dials, decorated with hand-guilloch\u00e9 patterns beneath translucent coloured enamel, are an eloquent artistic response to the miniature paintings on the case-backs.

The final challenge is the faultless application of the indexes (requiring tiny holes to be drilled through the pristine enamel) and the transfer of the chemin de fer minutes register. The simplicity of the Reverso Tribute design codes \u2013 faceted appliqu\u00e9 hour-markers and Dauphine hands \u2013 places full value on the beauty of the decoration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three Celebrated Artworks Complemented by Jaeger-LeCoultre\u2019s Vision of Art and Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk. Chosen as the setting for the Homo Faber Biennial, the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, opposite St Mark\u2019s Square, captivated Monet. In this view, painted as the sun set behind the island, the emphasis is on light, colours and reflections, reducing the buildings to a silhouette that anchors the composition. The miniaturised reproduction of Monet\u2019s celebrated painting required approximately 70 hours of meticulous work. The dial features grand feu enamel in a shade of blue that perfectly complements the colours of the sky on the case-back painting. Echoing the geometric lines of the Reverso\u2019s Art Deco design, the herringbone guilloch\u00e9 pattern comprises 120 separate lines, each of which requires three passages of the lathe, making 360 lines altogether \u2013 a meticulous task that takes eight hours to complete.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand Canal Venice. With a remarkable sense of depth and movement, this spellbinding view across the Grand Canal was painted in the afternoon. The church of Santa Maria della Salute appears to be floating on the water, its architectural details sublimated to the effect of the hazy light. The case- back that faithfully reproduces this masterwork required almost 70 hours of enamelling work. The wavy hand-guilloch\u00e9 pattern on the dial \u2013 which took eight hours of meticulous work to create \u2013 repeats the reflections on the water\u2019s surface depicted in Monet\u2019s painting. The visual effect of the waves is amplified by layers of translucent grand feu enamel in a soft shade of green that matches the water.<\/p>\n<p>The Doge\u2019s Palace. Painted from a gondola in the middle of Grand Canal at 8.00am, this view of the Doge\u2019s Palace beautifully evokes the effect of morning light on the water. \u201cThe palace\u2026was just an excuse for painting the atmosphere,\u201d Monet wrote to a friend. To reproduce the shimmering beauty of this painting, Jaeger-LeCoultre\u2019s enameller worked for almost 70 hours in total. On the dial, the lozenge guilloch\u00e9 pattern creates constantly changing effects of light and shade as it is turned at different angles, echoing Monet\u2019s fascination with the effect of light on water at different times of day. Amplified by rich layers of translucent blue grand feu enamel, the geometric pattern comprises 981 lines, each of which requires five passages of the lathe. With a total of 4,905 passages of hand-operated lathe altogether, this highly skilled work takes eight hours to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Offered in a limited edition of 10 pieces each, the Reverso Tribute Enamel \u2018Venice Series\u2019 is a fine tribute to the city that hosts the Homo Faber Biennial and a superb marriage of fine watchmaking with the decorative crafts of guillochage, enamelling and miniature painting.<\/p>","description_short":"","quantity":0,"minimal_quantity":"0","available_now":"","available_later":"","price":0,"specificPrice":false,"additional_shipping_cost":"0.00","wholesale_price":"0.000000","on_sale":"0","online_only":"0","unity":"","unit_price":0,"unit_price_ratio":"0.000000","ecotax":"0.000000","reference":"Q39334M4","supplier_reference":"","location":"","width":"0.000000","height":"0.000000","depth":"0.000000","weight":"0.000000","ean13":"","upc":"","link_rewrite":"jaeger-lecoultre-reverso-tribute-enamel-venice-series-san-giorgio-maggiore","meta_description":"THE REVERSO TRIBUTE ENAMEL SERIES PAYS TRIBUTE TO CLAUDE MONET\u2019S VENICE THREE NEW TIMEPIECES FINELY HAND-DECORATED WITHIN THE M\u00c9TIERS RARESTM ATELIER Key fac...","meta_keywords":"","meta_title":"Watch Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel \u00ab Venice Series \u00bb San Giorgio Maggiore | Reverso Q39334M4 White Gold - Strap A...","quantity_discount":"0","customizable":"0","new":false,"uploadable_files":"0","text_fields":"0","active":"1","redirect_type":"","id_product_redirected":"0","available_for_order":"0","available_date":"0000-00-00","condition":"new","show_price":"1","indexed":"0","visibility":"both","date_add":"2024-09-05 10:26:48","date_upd":"2024-09-24 17:57:43","tags":false,"base_price":"0.000000","id_tax_rules_group":"1","id_color_default":0,"advanced_stock_management":"0","out_of_stock":2,"depends_on_stock":false,"isFullyLoaded":true,"cache_is_pack":"0","cache_has_attachments":"1","is_virtual":"0","id_pack_product_attribute":null,"cache_default_attribute":"0","category":"reverso","pack_stock_type":"0","id":9067,"id_shop_list":null,"force_id":false,"customization_required":false}

DESCRIPTION
THE REVERSO TRIBUTE ENAMEL SERIES PAYS TRIBUTE TO CLAUDE MONET’S VENICE
THREE NEW TIMEPIECES FINELY HAND-DECORATED WITHIN THE MÉTIERS RARESTM ATELIER
Key facts:
- An homage to Venice, as seen by a great Impressionist Master
- The timeless design of the Reverso showcases the skills of the Métiers Rares™ Atelier
- Three limited-edition pieces express Jaeger-LeCoultre’s vision of art and culture
To coincide with its participation in the Homo Faber Biennial exhibition in Venice this September, Jaeger-LeCoultre pays homage to the host city with three new limited-edition Reverso Tribute Enamel timepieces. The case-back of each piece features a miniature reproduction of one of Claude Monet’s paintings of Venice, reaffirming the Reverso as an ideal canvas for artistic expression.
An Homage to Venice, Captured by the Great Impressionist Master, Claude Monet
Painted late in his career, Monet’s ‘Venice Series’ paintings exquisitely render the architecture and exceptional light of Venice that immediately captivated the artist when he and his wife arrived in La Serenissima in autumn 1908. At first declaring the city “too beautiful to paint”, Monet soon set to work, choosing a dozen different sites and painting them repeatedly at different times of day to capture the changing light. It was a prolific period: during his 10-week stay, Monet painted 37 images.
Intricate Works of Craftsmanship Celebrating the Métiers Rares™ Atelier
Homo Faber’s mission to honour and promote craft in all of its forms closely mirrors Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to support not only the craft skills of watchmaking but also the artistic crafts associated with Haute Horlogerie. With the new Reverso Tribute Enamel ‘Venice Series’ timepieces, La Grande Maison showcases the talents and skills of the Manufacture’s in-house Métiers Rares™ (Rare Handcrafts) Atelier - bringing together the crafts of miniature painting, enamelling and guillochage - while paying tribute to the mission that it shares with Homo Faber.
The first of many challenges in decorating the case-back was to reproduce original works measuring more than 65 x 92 cm onto a surface of 25 x 20 mm. It was not only a feat of miniaturisation to perfectly mimic every detail of Monet’s paintings; the enameller also had to create an illusion of the impasto (the textured effect of thicker paint that the artist applied when he finished the canvases in his studio at Giverny) and recreate the dreamlike quality of the originals, with their fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. It required 14 layers of enamel to achieve the desired intensity and depth of colour – three base layers, four layers of painting and seven layers of translucent ‘fondant’, with up to 15 separate firings at up to 800° Celsius.
The three dials, decorated with hand-guilloché patterns beneath translucent coloured enamel, are an eloquent artistic response to the miniature paintings on the case-backs. The enamelling alone requires eight or nine hours of work for each dial, with up to five layers of enamel and six or seven separate firings at up to 800°C.
