Jaeger LeCoultre Duometre - The Jaeger LeCoultre One of the Most Precise Timepieces

Antoine LeCoultre founded his company is 1833 and began his journey to become a famous maker of luxury timepieces by using advanced technologies that he discovered along the way. In 1844, LeCoultre created the world’s first, most precise time measuring instrument when he created the millionmeter that is capable of measuring to the thousandths of a millimeter. A few years later, in 1847, he added to accomplishments with the creation of a timepiece that did not need a key to wind or set the timepiece. Instead, he used a push piece that activated a lever to changed functions on the watch. The Jaeger LeCoultre Duometre models come from a long line of precision high-end time pieces.

The Jaeger LeCoultre Duometre line is based on an innovative concept known as dual-wing. This design consists of two independent mechanisms connected by a common governing body. Each mechanism has its own gear train and power source. One power supply is regulated by escapement and balance and dedicated to creating the perfect timing foundations, while the other power supply is dedicated to the display of time in increments of hours, minutes and seconds along with the age of the moon in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

The dual-wing concept was first introduced with the 2007 Duometre a Chronographe and is now used in the new Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire that allows for an increased accuracy in the complicated movements. This attention to details confirm that the professionals at Jaeger-LeCoultre have developed a dual-wing calendar-watch of extraordinary characteristics, with a level of accuracy, which until recently, might only have been attained by watches that have no complications. Such a distinguished advance to timekeeping precision is an advantage that only 177 years of expertise in making high-end time pieces can bring.

The latest in the line of Jaeger LeCoultre Duometre, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire is a limited edition and is sold in 300 yellow gold watches as well as in pink gold unlimited versions. The limited editions and new innovations featured with this line make the newer models just as sought after as the older versions. The expertise and fine quality goes into each timepiece as well as the highest quality materials. Diamonds and gold are part of each watch as well as sapphires and other quality resources, such as platinum, carbon fiber and iridium that offer improvement in the watches assembly and the performance.
