Master Grand Tradition Minute repeater
World limited to 18 pieces
Limited to 2016 pieces worldwide Vincent van Gogh (Vincent van Gogh) announced in 18
This is a miniature replica of the Impressionist master's masterpiece, ``Starry Night over the Rhône,'' faithfully reproduced on the dial, and the beautiful dial makes full use of the company's specialty cloisonné enamel technique.
Not only does the small dial with a case diameter of 39 mm house famous works by world-famous masters, but the main mechanism is equipped with a minute repeater, the world's most advanced and extremely complicated mechanism.
This mechanism recognizes the time by sound, but its roots were made in the days when only pocket watches existed, and it was created in the ancient times when there was no electric light technology, making it difficult to visually recognize the time. It is said that it was created to solve problems.
Its history as a mechanism for mounting on wristwatches is still young, and it was only about 30 years ago that various companies were able to continue producing it.
Since the beginning of the 2000s, the company has begun producing the round-shaped Master Collection Master Minute Repeater, which is its representative collection.
At that time, many long power reserve models from the company, which were representative of movement design and production, were being released, and the Master Minute Repeater was no exception.
It is a minute repeater with a power mechanism that can last for about two weeks, and the power is transmitted to a metal gong that is set to wrap around the outer circumference of the conventional movement and two types of metal hammers to strike the sound. The mechanism is to make a sound by hitting the keys alternately.
The Master Minute Repeater is equipped with a "crystal gong" that overturns the concept.
The crystal gong invented by the company is not the metal gong mentioned above, but the front surface of the sapphire crystal glass is used as a gong, and the entire surface area of ​​the glass becomes a speaker.
At the time, it was surprising as it was the latest innovative technology to increase the volume.
Based on that experience, this model has a small diameter of 39 mm and is self-winding, but the dial is thick due to the characteristics of enamel production, including the thickness of the automatic rotor.
The technology required to assemble a minute repeater while maximizing its beautiful sound quality and sound spread is no ordinary feat.
Isn't it the greatness of Jaeger-LeCoultre, a long-established company that has been in business for 189 years and has produced more than 1200 in-house designed movements since its founding, that it is able to commercialize such rare and outstanding technology?
