Jaeger-LeCoultre pays tribute to the
Jaeger-LeCoultre pays tribute to the origin of time and its link to the sun, moon and stars that abound in the sky with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication. To explain this complex watch in detail, iW spoke with Stéphane Belmont, the Marketing and Creation Executive Director at Jaeger-LeCoultre. Look at this video to learn about this masterpiece of horology emphasizing the savior-faire of the manufacture.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication is a mechanical wonder that miniaturizes the entire universe into a watch for your wrist. An elegant rose gold case houses caliber 945, a hand-wound movement equipped with a flying tourbillon displaying the sidereal time, zodiac calendar function, minute repeater and of course the hours and minutes together highlighting the prowess of the manufacture.
The flying tourbillon is captivating to the eyes as it makes one full, counter-clockwise revolution around the dial in sidereal time equating to 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. Sidereal time is a time-keeping system based on Earth’s rotation according to fixed stars where as solar time, used in everyday life, is measured in respect to the sun. Seemingly floating, the flying tourbillon consists of 73 parts and wrapped in a lightweight titanium cage exhibiting the escapement for viewing.
For the stargazers to astronomy mavens, the striking dial of the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication instantly impresses with a reproduction of sky in the Northern Hemisphere recalling famed constellations such as the Big Dipper, Orion, Polestar and Cassiopeia on a brilliant satin-brushed blue dial. Along the outer edge of the dial, is gold sun that makes a complete rotation around the dial in one year hours indicating the day, month and zodiac sign. While the sleek Dauphine rose gold hands display the hours and minutes in the most elegant fashion.
The minute repeater showcase the prowess of this 180 year old manufacture with a exquisite acoustic chime to sound off the hours, quarters and minutes. Thanks to years of research and development, Jaeger-LeCoultre has developed a crystal cathedral gong system that uses square rather that round sections to provide a larger contact area for the hammer, therefore, allowing for great striking force. Additionally, the minute repeater uses trebuchet hammers, a patent pending mechanism, which drastically increasing the force of the hammers and in turn produce a rich sounds for the time. The audio time can be instantly enjoyed by engaging the ergonomic slide along the side of the rose gold case and viewed through the sapphire case back.
The esteemed manufacture pays tribute to generations of watchmakers guided by the galaxy above to create the origins of time measurement with this celestial timepiece.
