Luxury watch manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre announced its partnership with MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi and introduced the first watch resulting from that collaboration, the Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph '46' (246 pieces for the world).
Rossi, who is a confirmed watch fan, visited the brand's Le Sentier manufacture in April 2006 and development then started on the first watch of what should be a long and fruitful partnership. "The collaboration between Valentino and Jaeger comes at the right time, with the right product and the right creativity," says Jérôme Lambert, President, Jaeger-LeCoultre. "It is a joint creation. The designers and engineers shared their ideas and creations with Valentino and he approved them. The result is a Master Compressor expressing Valentino's spirit.
"46 is Valentino's number plate, but it's also the diameter of the watch," he continues. "We made a design adjustment to the existing watch, introducing a touch of Rossi. Six of the time zones are GP circuit names, we included a chequered flag seconds indicator and the caseback is engraved with his number and his signature. This special watch is the only one available in rose gold and titanium, with steel black PVD-coated chronograph pushers."
