From now through October 18th, Jaeger-LeCoultre Beverly Hills boutique will celebrate its exceptional heritage in watchmaking precision with a traveling collection of iconicbwatches highlighting the essential concept of precision. Visitors can see the Duomètre collection, which was entirely revamped in 2024, with three intricately complex models that demonstrate Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmaking prowess and the legacy of its commitment to pioneering precision in timekeeping. Defined by a twin-barrel design with two independent gear trains — one for the time, another for the complications — the Duomètre timepieces present some of the most impressive watches of the modern era. The special storytelling experience at the boutique will give attendees a closeup look at these spectacular timepieces, in addition to providing the opportunity to take Watchmaking Masterclasses.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual features a stunning execution of a triple-axis tourbillon and a perpetual calendar. No less impressive is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Chronograph Moon, offered in a copper or silver opaline dial with apertures revealing the inner workings, with a concentric chronograph display shared with the stunning moonphase and a whirlwind foudroyante hand measuring 1/6th second chronograph intervals. Finally, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre Quantième Lunaire pares down the complexity of the Chronograph Moon for a refined elegance that features a moonphase and a date display with a running foudroyante against a deep blue dial.
The “Precision Pioneer” story is told in four “chapters” of the presentation that reveal the magic of mechanical watchmaking: production and decoration, chronometry, regulating organs, and complications.
Precision of Production and Decoration describes how the brand’s founder, Antoine LeCoultre, translated his obsession with meticulousness into altogether new inventions that laid the foundations of the modern watchmaking industry; his spirit continues to animate the manufacture, inspiring cutting edge technologies that enrich and complement the invaluably precise manual work.
Precision of Chronometry, i.e., the precision of timekeeping, traces key dates in the development of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s certified chronometer pieces, from 19th-century pocket watches to contemporary creations. This chapter reveals the in-depth research undertaken to compensate for the challenges every wristwatch faces during daily wear.
Precision of Regulating Organs reveals the vital role of the regulating organ (the balance wheel and its hairspring). This is the fascinating heart of the watch, whose regularity, or isochronism, is essential for timekeeping precision. Visitors will discover Jaeger-LeCoultre’s thorough research on various-shaped hairsprings and tourbillons that have led to many patented innovations.
Precision of Complications explores a fundamental issue in watchmaking: how to ensure a constant energy transmission despite complications that consume energy and compromise this regularity? This chapter explores why the chronograph is the most complex function and reveals the revolutionary solution provided by the manufacture: the Duomètre mechanism.
The traveling collection will offer a unique immersion into the world of watchmaking precision, inviting visitors to explore the different aspects of this crucial principle while discovering the latest innovations from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Precision Pioneer Traveling Collection will be exhibited until October 18th at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Flagship Boutique in Beverly Hills, located at 430 N. Rodeo Drive.
Storytelling tours can be booked online at Jaeger-LeCoultre – Atelier – THE PRECISION PIONEER. In addition to these storytelling tours, the brand will offer private Watchmaking Masterclasses for two people every day from 11am-12:30pm, 2pm-3.30pm, and 4pm-5.30pm. To book a Watchmaking Masterclass, please email the boutique at [email protected] or call +1 (310) 734 05 25.
