Diamonds are set side by side, playing on variations in diameter, from 0.5mm to 1.6mm, to completely cover the metal. Each stone is rigorously selected, as the very smallest must blend seamlessly into the most ambitious designs. Each arrangement is different, and therefore unique. This technique was developed in 2002 by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
