Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio and luxury Swiss watch company Jaeger-LeCoultre have joined hands to develop two limited series of watches to benefit the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund at the California Community Foundation (CCF).

The unique watches that feature technology never used before will be available this fall exclusively at the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutiques in Boca Raton and Beverly Hills, as part of its “Time to Care” initiative.

One of the watches will be the cutting edge techie Master Compressor Extreme Lab, worn by DiCaprio to the premiere of his documentary, “The 11th Hour”, the first Extreme Lab watch to be delivered anywhere in the world, and is valued at $300,000. The tourbillon complication watch is also the world’s first mechanical watch that can operate in temperatures ranging from from -40 to +60 degrees Centigrade, and that too, without any lubricant. It is engraved with Leonardo DiCaprio’s signature.

The other timepiece is also a unique edition of the Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2, worth around $400,000. It features the first-ever spherical tourbillon as well as a cylinder-shaped balance-spring with end curves, breaking new grounds in timepiece accuracy. There’s also a a 50-hour power reserve and is crafted in platinum. The Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 contains over 371 parts and was specially created to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Jaeger-LeCoultre this year.

Established in 1998, the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund at the CCF has actively fostered awareness of environmental issues through participation with several national and international organizations, while Jaeger-LeCoultre has been a leader in fine Swiss watchmaking since 1833.
