A new Duomètre was announced for late 2023, before being delayed with the confirmation that there will be no split... Nevertheless, it may finally be released in 2024. Indeed, for several weeks now, Jaeger .....Story

Founded in 2023 by 2 young French men, Theo Auffret and Guillaume Laidet, the brand started as a crowd funded project...ARGON ! Theo is an independent watchmaker, movement + complications designer and the 2018 Winner of the famous F.P.Journe Young Talent Competition for upcoming watchmakers.
