Jaeger-LeCoultre - Green Arums

Jaeger-LeCoultre continues its exploration of miniature craftsmanship with two new additions to its Reverso One ‘Precious Flowers’ series: Green Arums and Purple Arums. Each piece is made in the Maison’s Métiers Rares™ atelier in the Vallée de Joux and limited to just 10 editions.

Both pieces run on the manually-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 846, a slim movement tailored to the proportions of the Reverso One case. But the mechanics remain quiet beneath the surface; attention here belongs to the hands that shape, set, fire, and finish.

Green Arums is a study in contrast. Its pink gold case is framed by 409 diamonds, the setting alone requiring 45 hours of work. The dial’s reverse is filled with hand-applied champlevé enamel, its green tones edged with lacquer-black contours, creating a rhythm of line and leaf. The process—15 hours of enamelling, and more than 800°C of controlled heat per layer—is both rigorous and intuitive, a conversation between craft and pigment.

Jaeger-LeCoultre - Purple Arums

Purple Arums expands that intensity: a seamless wrap of purple, pink, and green enamel that curves from caseback to bezel, across the watch’s ridges and angles. Set with 637 diamonds, the piece reflects and absorbs light differently at every turn. The snow-set stones follow the shape of the enamel, rather than interrupt it—less embellishment than texture. Everything is precise, but not stiff. This is decoration that moves.
