The anniversary edition of this watch has already become one of the legendary minute repeaters. Its dial opens on the movement, which immediately stands out as the main player in a visual and acoustical extravaganza. The product of a lengthy research process, its crystal gong, made of a material that remains a trade secret, represents a major innovation in sound.
Moreover, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 947 is the only manually wound movement that has a 15-day power reserve, thanks to two barrels mounted in series. The spring torque is displayed on a special indicator, guaranteeing optimal accuracy as long as the hand remains in the indicator’s safety zone.
The bridges and the nickel-silver plate of this exceptional 413-piece movement are ruthenium plated; a list of the finishing techniques used is like a treasury of fine watchmaking’s decorative traditions: rectilinear and circular polishing, drawing, sunburst, snailing, chamfering, circular graining, polishing and engraving. The plate is decorated with “côtes soleillées” and the chatons are screwed down.
