In 2012, the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux is propelling watchmaking firmly into the third millennium. The Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon is a truly original model uniting peerless technical performance, elegance and a spectacular complication, thereby meeting the expectations of the most demanding connoisseurs and collectors.

Gyrotourbillon 1, Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque, Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2, Duomètre à Grande Sonnerie, Master Grande Tradition à Grande Complication, Reverso Répétition Minutes à Rideau… Over the past decade, the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, building on a longstanding tradition of inventiveness and unique expertise, has displayed exceptional creativity, achieving technical performances that have enabled it to develop some of the most noteworthy complications of the early 21st century.

Armed with exceptional horological know-how, Jaeger-LeCoultre gladly starts with a blank page for each new creation in order to combine aesthetic elegance, technical performance and unique functions. This approach has given rise to the Gyrotourbillon, the Crystal Gong, the expression of civilian, celestial and perpetual time on three separate faces, the tourbillon that won the first timing competition of the 21st century, the Tourbillon with cylindrical balance-spring, the Flying Tourbillon indicating celestial time, the Minute Repeater activated by a metal curtain, as well as the Grande Sonnerie faithfully reproducing the Westminster chime.

When Jaeger-LeCoultre began reflecting in parallel on a new chronograph movement capable of maintaining the same precision, whether or not the chronograph function were activated, watchmakers did not imagine that they were going to create a whole new watch movement concept. The latter proved so innovative that it paved the way for unprecedented functions and gave rise to the Duomètre line.

The principle behind the revolutionary Dual-Wing concept involves two independent mechanisms, each with its own source of energy, but sharing a common regulating organ. This principle gave rise to the first chronograph maintaining the same level of precision whether in chronograph on or off mode , the first calendar-display watch adjustable to the nearest 1/6th of a second, and the first Grande Sonnerie model to faithfully reproduce the tune chimed by Big Ben.
