Master Compressor Diving GMT Lady Ceramic by JAEGER-LECOULTRE
[ via Jaeger-LeCoultre ]
JLC recently introduced a new version to their popular Master Compressor Diving Lady line of timepieces. "Right from the time of their introduction in 2007, the Master Compressor Diving Lady watches signalled the end of the dilemma between performance and refinement. Active, sporty ladies can now adorn their wrist with a professional and highly reliable instrument, while not renouncing nothing of their taste for elegance." The use of black ceramic, not only makes this watch beautiful, it is also nearly impossible to scratch. Overall the aesthetics of this watch are very pleasing, including the black dial with contrasting markings. And, of course, the 16 diamonds that are in the diving bezel.
The all black and white-clad Master Compressor Diving Lady Céramique is the diver's watch for women who refuse to choose between sport and seduction, refinement and exploits. To successfully handle the multiple activities of their daily lives, they need a professional instrument with a face equally suited to the demands of deep-sea diving and to those of a romantic tryst. Admirably reflecting the nature of contemporary women, the new Master Compressor Diving Lady Céramique marries innate presence and outstanding performance, since technical prowess and aesthetic elegance are inextricably entwined within the Jaeger-LeCoultre philosophy.
