In 2007, Jaeger-LeCoultre revolutionised the watchmaking industry with the launch of the Duometre mechanism, featuring a chronograph – the epitome of precision. Now, in 2024, the Maison unveils a ground-breaking timepiece, the Duometre Chronograph Moon, fusing the precision of a chronograph with the allure of celestial complications. Powered by the new Calibre 391, this masterpiece presents a captivating contrast between the lightning-fast operation of the chronograph and the serene rhythm of the moon's cycle.
Elegant Variations at Watches and Wonders 2024
At Watches and Wonders 2024, Jaeger-LeCoultre debuts the Duometre Chronograph Moon in two stunning variations. The first boasts a platinum case paired with a copper-coloured dial, while the second features a pink gold case complemented by a refined silver dial. Both models are adorned with hand-stitched alligator straps, offering a touch of luxury and sophistication.
Solving the Complexity of Complications
The Duometre mechanism addresses the inherent challenge in complex mechanical watches – the disruption of power supply to the escapement, compromising precision. Initially explored in the 19th century with the LeCoultre Calibre 19/20RMSMI, the Duometre concept was fully realized in 2007, guaranteeing the constant isochronism essential for accurate timekeeping.
