Following a great run of creative masterpieces since the early 2000s, Jaeger LeCoultre released the Duomètre à Chronographe in 2008 in both pink gold and platinum. This exceptional monopusher foudroyante displays the recorded time to the 1/6th of a second. A highly important movement in the Manufacture's rich history, the calibre 380 introduced the Dual Wing concept, allowing the time display and chronograph complications to derive from one single regulating organ. The crown winds the two functions separately: the time through a clockwise rotation and the chronograph through a counter-clockwise rotation. Therefore, the striking yet subtle grained dial displays two independent power reserves.
The present example is arguably the most exclusive of the two available versions, boasting a solid platinum case. The intricate caliber 380 reveals its two massive barrels through the sapphire crystal display back. The present timepiece is offered with its complete suite of accessories.
