The Horogical Functions of Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2
In terms of its horological functions, the Reverso Gyro tourbillon 2 displays the time by means of two flame-blued steel hands moving over an off-centred sapphire subdial. A fine engraving on the wheel to the left of the dial enables one to read off the time on a 24-hour scale. Meanwhile, the seconds are indicated by a blue index that is actually part of the outer tourbillon carriage. On the back, a hand integrated within the movement indicates the power reserve on a sectorshaped bridge.
Nonetheless, at the very moment when a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch appears to have revealed its essential characteristics, a new element consistently overturns the global view that an attentive observer is struggling to gain. For this particular model, in order to house the manually-wound Calibre 174, the engineers of the Manufacture had to design an entirely new swivel case that nonetheless complied with the inimitable DNA of the Reverso. By the very nature of its operating principle, the spherical tourbillon calls for a thicker type of envelope in order to operate in perfect freedom and security.
After making countless prototypes based on highly complex crystals and spheres cut from sapphires, technicians and designers finally managed to accommodate the thickness of the tourbillon within an apparently classic case and sapphire crystal. Representing the height of refinement, this case is even equipped with a bolt inspired by the system used on the Reverso grande complication à triptyque, in order to prevent any inadvertent opening of the watch. The case is water-resistant to 30 metres and fitted with an integrated leather strap ensuring exceptional comfort on the wrist. As befits such a prestigious watch, the Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 will be issued in a strictly limited platinum edition of 75.
The barrel itself is fitted with a cover and a sapphire crystal so as to reduce friction on the mainspring. The energy it stores is thus entirely available for the movement in order to ensure a respectable 50-hour power reserve. Meanwhile, a subtle device placed on the barrel avoids any risks related to excess or insufficient tension. This means that when the watch is being wound, the system blocks the winding process before the spring becomes overly taut. Conversely, the movement stops before the progressive unwinding is liable to adversely affect the watch’s rating precision.
The extraordinary manually-decorated Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 174 is composed of 371 parts. Connoisseurs of fine watchmaking will appreciate the hand-raised and polished interior angles as well as the exquisite rounding off the intermediate carriage bridge. The German silver bridges and mainplate feature file-drawn edges, as well as hand-raised and polished angles. The surfaces are adorned with Clous de Paris, C?tes de Genève, circular graining or satin brushing, all serving to accentuate the graphic strength of this splendid rectangular movement. These ornamental touches create splendid contrasts with the steel mechanisms and the gear wheels coated in yellow gold. Finally, the plate features a screw of which the purpose is liable to remain a mystery for generations of watchmakers, since it will reveal the secret of its function only to micromechanical adventurers prepared to take the time required to grasp the enigma behind the running of this matchless mechanical calibre.
Nonetheless, any watchmaking devotee will soon forget the subsidiary features of the Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 and simply turn his gaze over and over to the extraordinary vision afforded by Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 174 and the captivating revolutions of the spherical tourbillon as it exercises its truly irresistible force of attraction. As the absolute Reverso, the Gyrotourbillon 2 embodies a unique accomplishment that could only emerge from a Manufacture that has allied traditional know-how with an indomitable spirit of innovation for the past 175 years. This timepiece, boasting a degree of precision on the wrist that breaks entirely free of the power of gravity, illustrates the creative strength that nurtures the countless transformations of the Reverso, the watchmaking icon appearing in consistently reinvented and perpetually fascinating new forms of expression.
