Accompanied by the actor Nicolas Cage, the illustrious actress Eva Mendes attended the dinner, arranged to mark the release of their film Bad Lieutenant. The latter represents a remake version of an early 1990s film.

Jaeger-LeCoultre watch enthusiast, this time Eva Mendes was exposing on her wrist the Reverso Lady Squadra watch, sculptured in pink gold.

The German watch magazine Armbanduhren, which means Wristwatches, when translated from German, has entitled the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Lady Squadra the best women’s timepiece for 2009.

This model also fully justifies that part of its name that sounds like Reverso. It means that the reverse side of the case provides the watch owner with another dial. Thus, both sides of the timepiece reveal the time: the front side exposes a day/night indicator and the date, whereas the timepiece back side shows just the time.

Featuring the diamond-set case, the watch comes with a beautiful white metal or alligator bracelet. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Lady Squadra watch is offered in two color variations: black and white.

Sporty, yet extremely refined, exquisitely embellished, yet distinguished by a quiet chic, the Jaeger-LeCoultre lady's watch has every right to be named the best women’s watch of the year.

The history of the modern Calibre 101 mechanical movement dates back to 1929, the year when the first movement of the kind was created.

Currently, this movement has the same name. Improved over the years, it includes up-to-date, extremely adorned interpretations.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 101 has been the smallest mechanical movement in the world since it was unveiled, meaning for 80 years.

The annual output of these tiny movements is limited to 25 pieces only. The dimensions of the movement in question are 14 mm X 4.8 mm X 3.4mm: length, width and thickness respectively.

The movement is composed of 98 parts meant to make up its current iteration. The latest versions of the movement are able to incorporate even more parts, while the original 1929 Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 movement comprised 78 parts only. Its ultra low weight is about a gram.

The Calibre 101 is a hand-wound mechanical movement set with 19 precious stones - the number that seems unbelievable for such a small space. Another distinctive feature of the movement is its rich embellishment, embracing hand etching on the 18k gray gold bridges and polished finishing on all surfaces.

Thin and long in its exclusive shape, this movement is used in a series of different high-jewelry timekeeping companions for women. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 101 also features extremely small blued steel screws, that seem large against its overall background.

Very hard to create, these movements are manufactured in limited series and integrated into the most luxurious watches for ladies.
