Jaeger-LeCoultre Adds a Double Gradient Green Dial to the Polaris Collection
When we think of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the watches that come to mind immediately are likely their classic, refined, dress watches. The Reverso and the Master Ultra Thin collections, for example, are made up of the kind of conservative but extremely well executed formal watches that are easy to love from afar, but sometimes harder to fit into a daily rotation, particularly in the work from home era when casual is king. Dressing a watch down is a wonderful thing, but some of JLC?s best watches present a particularly difficult challenge in this regard. Because we so often associate the brand with dressier watches, it?s easy to forget that they actually have a long and proud sports watch history. Famously, as JLC never lets us forget, the Reverso itself was originally marketed to polo players seeking a simple solution to keeping their watch crystals from getting smashed. More recently, you could look to JLC?s Master Compressor line, a series of genuinely overbuilt dive watches, often loaded with complications, that have developed a cult following in certain enthusiast circles, but were too big, weird, and expensive to gain traction while they were actually in production. Then there?s the Polaris, re-introduced after a long period of dormancy by JLC back in 2018. This collection hasn?t been a primary focus for Jaeger-LeCoultre since its initial comeback, but the second new Polaris to be unveiled this year might be a signal that they?re serious about sports watches again.Â
