Brand Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a special timepiece, in a limited edition (of course), for luxury name Alfred Dunhill. Called the Atmos Regulator, this clock of sorts is rather an outstanding one. Formed in a black varnished casing, this one has a clear glass front. So far only 22 units are being made each with a black shelf-like base and tinted glass background hat comes complete with gorgeous art deco designs that come inspired from Dunhill’s lighters and cigarette cases of the 30s.
Black stingray leather lines the front of the inlaid shelf that we are talking about and is impressively exotic to complement brand Dunhill. The mechanism of the clock is a sensitive one being a 242-piece caliber-582 movement which has the ability to get powered even by small changes in temperature. Believe it or not, but a change of just one degree can make the clock run for 48 hours. In other words, the clock uses 250 times less energy than a classic wristwatch.

Even if you are not much of a watch bracelet fan, we are definite that you will be quite taken up by the bold statement of the latest fashion accessory from the house of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Done up in antique gold, their coveted watch bracelet is inspired from the reigning trends of the 1950s.
The gold is 18 K and that’s why this precious piece a good pick for serious collectors too. The chain design is impressive too and makes for a good combination with most modern day outfits in your wardrobe. However, we hear that this one’s timepiece isn’t in its best form. In fact, it may be a bit faulty too (and we wonder why?). Now, that could be a real wash out for regular buyers like most of us but the item is still hot for collectors.

I always thought that my Swarovski watch is the ultimate thing that has ever seen life but the recent collection launched by Jaeger-LeCoultre has made my time piece blush! Yeah, I know they are the best watch-makers in the whole wide world, or so the gfame goes but I never though that they would surpass their own best so easily. The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Le Lierre Collection. It�s a green fantasy turned to life! It is made in the form of ivy leaves and tendrils, only the green leaves are realised in gold and precious stones to make it the ultimate style statement.
The set comes complete with a necklace, a bracelet, a ring and a pair of in 18k yellow gold and and yellow sapphires. In total, it has 14,000 gemstones and it costs a paltry $4.3 million. You heard it right! Paltry is what I said. The miracle that this piece is, 4.3 million is too paltry an amout if you ask me.
