Duometre
The Duomètre collection was first introduced in 2007 and is excellent proof of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s strong position when it comes to technologies and construction solutions. The Duomètre has two barrels working independently, each for a different part of the movement’s mechanism. This solution is a true engineering achievement in the field of chronometry. Jeager-LeCoultre’s trailblazing Dual-Wing concept maximizes the accuracy of timekeeping by not taking away energy from the movement to power additional functions. Instead the complications are “fed” from another source, i.e. the second barrel.
The first Duomètre models were chronographs, followed by the Quantième Lunaire. Today the collection includes some of the most complicated horological mechanisms, including a spatial tourbillon – the sphérotourbillon. These exquisite timepieces are only manufactured from precious metals, gold or platinum. The dial is always well-worth noting, beautifully executed with a perfect sense for symmetry.

Something more…
The Duomètre collection is all about detail and precise execution. Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre timepieces have bridges decorated with a unique patented technique, the “côtes soleillées”, that leaves an impression on the metal that is similar to the rays of the sun.German silver, an alloy of nickel, copper and zinc, is used to manufacture the movement’s components, since it is anti-corrosive and resists magnetism better than the more commonly used brass.
Collection highlight
Each model is absolutely exceptional for a number of reasons, making it impossible to choose a single collection highlight. Customers should take into consideration the extremely demanding manufacturing process that goes into these timepieces and modify their expectations as regards the delivery time for any such piece.Should you like to reward yourself with the Duomètre Quantième Lunaire for example, you can look forward to a beautifully detailed lunar phase and a date hand. The timepiece also features two power reserve indicators for its two barrels, a jumping second at six o’ clock, and a central small seconds hand.
