101 Secrets mystery watch – interpreting the spirit of Art Deco with a new design
The Jaeger-LeCoultre 101 Secrets mystery watch is outlined with four rows of diamonds. Two rows of prong-set diamonds are located outside two rows of grain-set diamonds. The look is full of brilliance and shines brightly on the wrist, cleverly integrating the timepiece. They are hidden in it.
The tradition of mystery watches dates back to the 19th century when pocket watches (worn by both men and women) had a hinged cover on the case that covered the dial and protected the glass from scratches. These watch covers are often decorated with intricate enamel patterns and inlaid with magnificent gemstones. Women started wearing watches in the early 20th century, and the idea then was that ladies didn’t need to check the time constantly. Today, the Mystery Watch provides creative space for integrating jewelry craftsmanship and watch design, resulting in extraordinary works with outstanding beauty and practical value. Fake watches.
In the English name of the 101 Secrets mystery watch, the word “Secrets” is plural, implying the dual charm elements in the new timepiece. The first mystery is that this timepiece is like a fine piece of jewelry: the dial is cleverly hidden and is only revealed when the wearer needs to check the time. The second mystery is that the new mechanical device is hidden among the rows of diamonds. Such an ingenious layout can be called a pioneering work in micro-mechanical technology. This delicate mechanism is almost invisible; only the woman wearing the watch knows its location. When she gently presses the hidden “button,” a small area on the bracelet will open like a page in a book, revealing the time displayed on the shiny mother-of-pearl dial. The dial disappears when the button is released, and the bracelet returns to its original diamond bracelet with flowing light.
The gem-setting master chose prong-setting technology for the two outer rows of diamonds. This traditional technology fixes the diamonds above the surface of the gold setting, allowing light to penetrate the diamonds from all angles, maximizing the brilliance of each diamond. These large diamonds present an almost imperceptible gradient shape according to their size and are set in harmonious and symmetrical positions, further demonstrating the superb craftsmanship of the gem setters. The two rows of diamonds inside are grain-set, making the large diamonds the visual focus. When the dial is revealed, it complements the brilliant diamonds surrounding it, highlighting the symmetrical design inspired by the Art Deco style. The side of the bracelet is also set with diamonds, making the entire piece even more dazzling and transparent.
The 101 Secrets mystery watch is set with 1,024 diamonds (total weight of 26.75 carats). The setting process was completed entirely in the Jaeger-LeCoultre rare crafts workshop (Métiers Rares atelier), which took 182 hours.

101 Bangle Watch – Two Colorful Models Launched
Jaeger-LeCoultre designers drew inspiration from the rounded arcs and sharp lines of the Art Deco style to reinterpret the 101 Bangle watch, first launched in 2020. The bracelet is set with nearly 1,000 precious gemstones and can wrap around the wrist securely without a buckle. It is equipped with a cleverly designed hidden lock that can be opened and closed at will with just one click.
In 2023, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Workshop will add colorful colors to the 101 Bangle watch and launch two new products, each of which is a unique treasure.
On the rose gold bracelet, the delicate red lacquer dial and white diamonds contrast sharply and complement the warm tones of the precious metal. To emphasize the three-dimensional design effect of the timepiece, 996 diamonds (total weight of 19.7 carats) are arranged one by one according to size. The gem setter uses prong setting and grain setting techniques to show off the brilliance of the diamonds. The side of the bracelet is also set with diamonds, making it even more dazzling.
In addition, the 101 Bangle watch is also launched in white gold for the first time, with a row of brilliant-cut sapphires arranged according to size to set off the rounded curvature of the bracelet, cleverly lingering around the wrist. The deep blue gemstone echoes the row of sapphires set on the side of the bracelet and contrasts sharply with the white diamonds, gold material, and snow-white lacquered dial. This 101 Bangle watch has 347 sapphires (total weight of 10.29 carats) and 645 diamonds (total weight of 10.99 carats), with 21.28 rare gemstones.

Adhering to the pioneering spirit of the founder of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Grand Maison began developing timepieces for women from its early days and soon realized that watches have great potential in terms of aesthetic design and technical craftsmanship and can be worn as both jewelry and accessories, in the decades since social progress has brought about not only changing fashion trends but also dramatic changes in the definition of femininity. Jaeger-LeCoultre develops timepieces specifically designed for women, combining sophisticated craftsmanship, creative design, and aesthetic taste in many ways.
To prove that precision performance and miniaturization are not mutually exclusive, Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers developed the Caliber 101 in 1929. Fifty years before the advent of computer-aided design and production technology, the birth of the 101 movement was nothing less than an eye-catching miniaturization initiative. This movement is also recognized as the minor mechanical movement in the world. . Over the decades, mechanical devices have been continuously improved through innovations in materials and processing, while their dimensions and layout have remained unchanged. The new generation Jaeger-LeCoultre 101 movement is composed of 98 parts (the number of parts of the original movement is 78), with dimensions of 14 mm x 4.8 mm, thickness of 3.4 mm (volume of 0.2 cubic centimeters), and weight of only 1 gram.
Due to the overall slimness and compactness of the movement, all parts must be custom-produced and adjusted, making each 101 activity unique. Only a small group of watchmakers in the Jaeger-LeCoultre workshops are skilled in the production and assembly of such a tiny movement. Therefore, the Grand Workshop only produces a dozen 101 signs every year.
The three new timepieces continue the glorious legend of the Jaeger-LeCoultre 101 movement, witnessing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s outstanding professional skills in the field of miniaturized watchmaking, as well as the exquisite craftsmanship of the gem setters in the Grand Workshop. Designers, watchmakers, and jewelers from the Grand Maison Jaeger-LeCoultre gather under the same roof to create extraordinary masterpieces that combine exquisite craftsmanship, creative design, and aesthetic taste.
