History
Jaeger-LeCoultre has a long history of creating timepieces that redefine ingenuity and craftsmanship. In 2007, the brand launched a collection that created a spur in the watchmaking industry, called the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre collection. This particular collection took hold of all the mechanical marvels created by the brand and mixed them with the standards of Haute Horlogerie.
Features
The Jaeger Le-Coultre Duomètre collection is one of the most understated giants falling under the Haute Horlogerie category of fine watch-making. For this collection, what is inside matters just as much if not more than what is outside. The Duomètre welcomes precision and efficiency by running on two separate watch mechanisms powered by two independent reserves. This is the unique ‘Dual-Wing' calibre characteristic of the profile of Duomètre watches. Each mechanism has a 50-hour power reserve, one of which serves to fuel the revolutionary Duomètre Chronographe, handling the secondary functions such as the 60-second counter, minutes, and hours. For the intricate timekeepers, the Duomètre collection is also equipped with a calendar iteration. Called the Duomètre Quantième Lunaire, this timepiece offers various functions such as moon phase, date, and alarm.
The Travel Time
In one of the rarest incidents, Jaeger-LeCoultre decided to imprint a 3D globe on the dial. A feat achieved by a few watchmakers, this globe is complimented by the robust calibre fitted inside this Duomètre. A world-timer by heart, the Travel Time also features a day/night indicator with a jumping hour function complimenting it.
