完整圖錄內容
The calibre 174, comprising 371 parts, showcases exquisite hand-finished details that reflect exceptional craftsmanship. Thanks to the skeletonized dials, the intricate mechanics are a joy to behold. Furthermore, the movement incorporates a cylindrical balance spring, which was invented by John Arnold in 1782. Only a spacious design like the Reverso Gyrotourbillon can accommodate this device, which enhances both precision and aesthetics. The tourbillon's three-dimensional movement captivates observers, with the inner carriage completing a rotation in just 18.75 seconds, while the outer carriage takes one minute. Offering the same benefits to wristwatches that the classic tourbillon provided for pocket watches, it compensates for gravity in all orientations and utilizes lightweight materials for the rapid rotation of both carriages.
This particular example is numbered "28" from a limited edition of just 75 pieces. It has been kept in excellent overall condition and was serviced by Jaeger-LeCoultre in September 2017.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Swiss | 1833Not all companies in the watchmaking field have been able to stand the test of time quite like Jaeger LeCoultre, also known as the "watchmaker's watchmaker." Founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre and originally named LeCoutre, the firm provided watchmaking's top brands, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, the high-grade, unfinished mechanical movements with which they completed their watches.
In the early 1900s, Cartier's watch supplier Edmond Jaeger sought out LeCoultre's help in creating the world's thinnest watches. The collaboration resulted in the creation of Cartier's earliest Tank and Santos watches, all housed with LeCoultre movements. The duo decided to merge in 1937, and the firm officially became the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand by which collectors know and adore it today. Some of the firm's most significant and important timepieces include the Reverso, the Memovox, the Atmos clock and, among modern watches, their Master Complications.
