London, United Kingdom — Last Thursday February 15 2024, the actress, model and Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Global Ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy attended the world premiere of the movie “Dune: Part Two” at Leicester Square in London, donning a Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece. Anya Taylor-Joy opted for the Jaeger-LeCoultre 101 Reine in white gold. The 101 Reine is the watch that Queen Elizabeth II chose to wear for her coronation in 1953. Meanwhile the presence of Anya Taylor-Joy at the world premiere of Dune: Part Two was somewhat of a mystery until it was revealed several days later that the award-winning actress has been cast in the film in an undisclosed role.

Since 1929, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 is a symbol of the unique expertise of the watchmakers of La Grande Maison as Jaeger-LeCoultre is known in the industry and has stood out in terms of the mastery of absolute miniaturisation. With a stunningly symmetrical design, the 101 Reine is a timepiece of great beauty. A silvered opaline dial and bracelet adorned with 110 diamonds give the piece a timeless grace with an air of classic sophistication. The timepiece remains, to date, the smallest mechanical watch movement ever produced. The dial is adorned with two discreet black Baton hands.

The film, Dune: Part Two, is the second of a two-part adaptation of the landmark science fiction novel, Dune, by Frank Herbert published in 1965. It tells the tale of humanity in a distant or perhaps not so distant future in an interstellar feudal society. Dune is one of the world’s best-selling science fiction novels of all time. ©Trish Valicenti for The Gourmet Gazette. https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us-en
