Reviewing Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Memovox

Of the many watch complications available today, most of them offer a relative usefulness in their daily wear to an average consumer. The chronograph helps measure the time it takes for your toaster to pop, the perpetual calendar gives you a horological holiday to look forward to every four years (leap years), and the GMT function allows you to keep track of the time in a second time zone, often with the added fun of a 24-hour scale instead of the generic 12-hour one. read more

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Contemporaine Ultra-Thin Calibre 1731


A milestone timepiece first shown at the Hong Kong “Watches and Wonders” fair and unveiled to most of the watch world at SIHH 2014, this Vacheron Constantin watch has a case that is slightly thicker than that of the Hybris Mechanica 11 (8.09 mm) but a minute-repeater movement that is a tad thinner (just 3.9 mm). Calibre 1731 is a manual-winding movement, as opposed to JLC’s automatic one, and it carries a 65-hour power reserve and bears the Geneva Seal. The movement also incorporates a flying strike governor, an innovative device that controls the speed and spacing of the repeater’s chiming tones and reduce the audible whirring sounds that can accompany the chimes. The watch comes in a rose gold case and retails for $369,300. read more

World’s Thinnest Minute Repeater: Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica 11

The watch’s full name is a mouthful — Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon — and it not only grabbed the record for thinnest repeater when it was introduced at SIHH 2014, but also manages to include a flying tourbillon and automatic winding (by means of a peripheral rotor) in its ultra-complex movement, which is just 4.8 mm thick. The case of the Hybris Mechanica 11 measures 41 mm in diameter and a mere 7.9 mm in thickness, an unprecedented size for such a complicated timepiece. The repeater mechanism is also equipped with silent-time-lapse reduction system that eliminates pauses between the chimes. The watch, for which Jaeger-LeCoultre has obtained eight patents, is limited to only 75 pieces. read more
