Another Past and Present Example: The Lecoultre Minute Repeater with its silent regulator ( 1904 ) / Jaeger Lecoultre Duometre movement ( Cal 38x ).
The ancestor of the Duometre is here,
With its two barrels and their dedicated gear trains...
Here we are in year 1904.
103 years later, the Duometre à Chronographe, with the same two barrels and their gear trains, which make the specificity of ALL the Duometre movements.
Cal 380: Chronograph:
Cal 381: Quantième Lunaire:
Cal 382: Spherotourbillon:
Cal 383: Unique Travel Time:
With Jaeger Lecoultre, it often is " History in Motion ".
Best,
Nicolas

that's very cool
thanks for that post, Nicholas! Where is that pocket watch, does it belong to the manufacture? Best Andreas
Yes, this pocket watch belongs to the Heritage Gallery. The funny story is that I had a huge program on two days, there, and that I spent one full day studying pocket watches, which was not planned.
Since then, we don't program my visits anymore. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas.
Any picture of the Minute Repeater dial? You've possibly posted it in the past...

Thanks for this post! 🙏
I was always curious about the historical origin of the duometer line, but couldn't find any good information. Each and every photo here is amazing!
