μπραβο της η VC ... δεκατετραημερο .... οχι παιζουμε

Αντιλανβανόμαστε όλοι ότι πέρα από το ελατήριο χρειάζονται τέλεια υλικά με μηδενικές τριβές κλπ για να φθάσεις το 14ημερο !!! Επίσης λατρεύω τον σταυρό στο tourbillon όπως τον έχουν τοποθετήσει

Pre SIHH 2012 – Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire 40.5

In 2010 Jaege-LeCoultre introduced the Duomètre à Quantième Luniare, which became immediately populair amongst watch fans and it was even chosen as Timezone Watch of the Year 2010. Now Jaeger-LeCoultre releases a new version…
It’s called the Duomètre à Quantème Luniare 40.5. From its name (and specifications) we can conclude it now comes in a more elegant size. The previous model was 42 mm in diameter and the new one is 40.5 mm. Is Jaeger-LeCoultre setting the trend for down-sizing? And what more did they change on this new Duomètre?



First and foremost I think it’s good to take note that JLC already started with down-sizing with 2011 novelties like the Master Geographic and the Master Ultra Thin (MUT) Moon. Many watch fans, aficionados and collectors have been longing for the moment the trend of ‘big, bigger, biggest’ would take its turn. Would this trend proceed now JLC, again, down-sizes an existing model? I sure hope so!
Something else significantly changed on the Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire 40.5 in comparisson to the previous model and that’s the dial. On the previous model the lower part of the dial was open and parts of the movement could be seen. The closed dial, similar to the Duomètre à Chronographe, was first introduced on to 200 pieces limited white gold with black dial version.
The jumping foudroyante seconds hand, at the 6 o’clock position, shows 1/6th of a second increments. At the right side of the dial we find the hour/minutes and to the left we can see the date and moon phases for both hemispheres together in one sub-dial.



Inside ticks caliber 381, so that remained unchanged. The so-called ‘dual-wing’ movement features two independent power supplies. One of them is regulated by the escapement and balance; the other for the time, date and age of the moon displays. The coupling is done via the jumping seconds at 6 o’clock so both gear trains don’t unwind at their own pase.
Each side or ‘wing’ of the movement has its own barrel with a power reserve of 50 hours. Both springs are wound through the crown: rotating it clockwise winds the timing barrel (escapment); turning the crown counter-clockwise winds the power reserve for the functions (hour, minute, seconds, jumping seconds, date, moon phase). Setting the time is also done via the crown and the pusher at 10 o’clock is to adjust the date. The moon phase can be adjusted via a corrector in the side of the case.
Here are the specifications: Mechanical manually-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 381, crafted, assembled and decorated by hand
21,600 vibrations per hour
50-hour power reserve
367 parts
40 jewels
7.25 mm thick

SIHH 2012 - 22nd Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie

The 22nd Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie will open from January 16th to 20th, 2012 in Palexpo, Geneva with eighteen fine watch brands and an unprecedented exhibition of clocks.

Press release

For the fourth consecutive year, the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), a foremost event for watches and watchmaking now in its 22nd year, will be held in January, from January 16th to 20th, 2012.

Year after year, some 12,000 retailers, journalists and brand representatives travel to this exclusive, invitation-only event for a unique opportunity to view the latest timepieces by the eighteen exhibitors for which the SIHH is a showcase for artistry and expertise, daring and innovation. Once again, the SIHH will transform 30,000 square metres at Palexpo, Geneva into a welcoming, business-focused venue where exhibitors can confirm their creativity and identity.



As is now traditional, the SIHH 2012 will host an exceptional exhibition. After the Beyer Zurich clock and watch museum last year, the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Genève loans pieces from its collections of horology and enamel. Whereas past exhibitions have focused on pocket watches and wristwatches, this year's exhibition is devoted to clocks, with works from the Renaissance to the early 20th century. It will coincide with the exhibition at the Musée Rath, entitled "Watchmaking in Geneva. The Magic of Craftsmanship, Treasures of Gold and Enamel."

This 22nd SIHH comes at the end of an eventful year during which sales of fine watches reached record levels. Technical and precious watchmaking continues to combine tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and leading-edge technologies, and would never miss this opportunity to seduce its public.
