A technical challenge behind an apparent simplicity: Jaeger Lecoultre Hybris Mechanica 11.

Nov 16, 2021,09:53 AM
 

Here we have a minute repeater and a flying tourbillon. Being used to some extraordinary watches from the Manufacture, we could see this HM 11 as a simpler watch. 




Not at all! 

Here we have several challenges: An ultra thin minute repeater and flying tourbillon, first. Indeed, the case is only 7, 9 mm high. Which makes it the thinner Minute Repeater, currently. 


It is even more remarkable when you know that it houses an automatic movement which has the good taste to be magnificent: 



I will come back to this one later, with more recent pictures. 

Best,

Nicolas

My favorite Modern JLC… But not for me… because of it price… and fed up with JLC service.. I’ve decided to stay away from that brand… till they solve my problem decently… it's great to create extraordinary pieces ... but that's nothing without quality of ... 

Fair position, my friend.

Very restrained too. Really like how they've hidden the rotor. Cheers JML

Yes, you are right!

And not without style too. I love the treble clef hour marker at 8 o'clock.

I had no idea

Yep!

I like a lot quite a few elements:

Case shape, complications, hands, dial texture and color, movement thinness….it is quite attractive to my eyes. Have a great evening my friend

This is a unique combination of complications
