In 2014, Jaeger Lecoultre unveiled this watch with a blue enamel ring all around the dial. 

 


In 2016, we have the green edition, along with some other subtle changes... 

The sub dials have been darkened, the moon is gold, the hands are not blued anymore, but darkened, too.

 
A piece which gathers some of the metiers d'art, since you have enameling, engraving, and skeleton.

I included a video on these different specialities used for that watch. 





The case is in white gold, with some elegant dimensions: 42 mm big, 11, 6 mm high. 

Let's not forget the Cal 876 Sq and its 8 Days power reserve, which can allow you to not wind the movement for a long time. Which is quite interesting and friendly for a perpetual calendar.

Like the former edition, this one will be limited to 200 pieces. Which I find too much, for such a watch.

Which one do you prefer? The blue, or the green?

 


Best,

Nicolas

..because of the lugs which seem different, more elegant and the bigger crown. Perhaps it is the picture. The green is more sober and in a way more classy. So, the green with the blue lugs and crown, although skeleton is not my cup of tea, apart for a certain minimalist Reverso Platinum skeleton. Thank you very much Cheers Francois

The Green is, yes, that is the word, more classic. Best, my dear François. Nicolas

.. The Blue "pops" more, very well said; a bit more dramatic & cool. While the Green has a more traditional, no better: classical appeal, true ! Although I\'m normally no skeleton guy, here it is appropriate and with raison d\'étre.. Both are absolutely amazing, artwise, but also from the horological aspect.. Thx for this stimulating share, Best, hs PS: BTW: Superb video, really. Very enjoyable, admiring this superb & delicate craftmanship..

The blue one is lovely... but harder to read than the green one. For me both are difficult to read even if open work is really nice

In the video, a hand saw is being used to skeletonize the plate. Are laser or CNC also/ever used?
