Jaeger Lecoultre and chiming watches. Some videos

By: amanico : July 18th, 2020-03:06

Jaeger Lecoultre sent me a very interesting link with some videos on their chiming watches. There are some facts I knew, some that I forgot. When Jaeger Lecoultre says, for example, that they made 200 chiming calibres, they count the alarm, too. A fact I ...

Very interesting post! As you mentioned sky being the limit, how about a music+alarm+MR? That would be the 3 most complicated sound system! [nt]

Alarm plus MR, ok, but the music box takes too much place. It would not be realistic, if you want the watch to be still wearable. [nt]

Nice pieces, I would prob get s tourb before a minute repeater. [nt]

To each his own. But with the Gyro Five you can get both of them in the same watch. [nt]

Ahh that is right

If you ever visit the Manufacture... Or if it is on tour in different Boutiques. [nt]

Care to come along?

I am working on that. It had to be planned, but the Covid came faster than us. [nt]

Thank you.

It would be a good thing, indeed. [nt]

Yes, my six year old iPhone

When you are at the Manufacture, IF you are allowed to take pictures, it is worth getting a real camera... [nt]

Oh, good point, but they should make an exception for

I will do my best. [nt]

Well the music can be on the front like UN stranger and pack the MR & alarm at the back and stay within a decent size. If they can put a gyrotourillon

Yes, but the UN Stranger is not a thin watch, music box alone. So you imagine the addition of a MR and an Alarm! [nt]

THAT would be very exciting. Alarm only or with a Minute Repeater? [nt]

A Duometre MR with Alarm function only.

It would make the junction between two different chiming complications. I am all in. [nt]

Oh yes!

I never cease to plead this cause. They call me Mr Duometre, or amaduometre. [nt]

I love that. [nt]

I would be mad about that. But just an alarm which would sound like a MR, on 24 hours would make my day. [nt]

Merci Nico for this compilation! It is good to see JLC celebrate their glorious past! A minute repeater would be a dream, an open caseback memovox a nice objective that could be reached! Best, E. [nt]

There was one in a not so distant past, in the late 90's early 2000's, and there is another one which has just the the light of the day, with the Master Memovox Timer or Simple.

I know the one you mean, in the tritium version ;) Best, E. [nt]

Hmmmm... This one, one day, will be mine.

That's the one :) [nt]

Awfully desirable. [nt]
