Duom\u00e8tre Unique Travel Time<\/strong>
\nCase\u2009:<\/strong> pink gold, sapphire back Diameter\u2009: 42mm Movement\u2009:<\/strong> mechanical manually-wound (JLC Calibre 883, 50-hour power reserve), 498 parts, hand finishing, two barrels Functions\u2009:<\/strong> hours, minutes, seconds, jumping 2nd time-zone display adjustable to the nearest minute, world map, indication of the two power reserves Dial\u2009:<\/strong> Grained, silver-toned Water resistance\u2009:<\/strong> 50 m Strap\u2009:<\/strong> alligator leather with pink gold pin buckle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first world-time watch serving to adjust the second time zone to the nearest minute, the Duom\u00e8tre Unique Travel Time in pink gold reveals the various facets of horological excellence and the over 180 year-old heritage of expertise forged by the prestigious Manufacture in Le Sentier. Travellers no longer have to make do with merely approximate local-time indications when the continent or country being visited shows a time difference in fractions of hours \u2013 as is the case in certain regions. No less than 498 parts are required to make the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 383 equipped with the famous Dual Wing system. The latter comprises two mechanisms sharing the same regulating organ\u2009: one to display local time and the other that of a second time zone (which does not influence the operation of the former). Each endowed with a 50-hour power reserve (indicated beneath each of the counters), the two barrels are wound by the same crown \u2013 clockwise for the time zone and counter-clockwise for the time. The crown serves to adjust travel time when it is in position 1, and home time in position 2. Once the two time zones have been synchronised, the wearer presses the push-pieces at 8 and 10 o\u2019clock to adjust the jumping hour in the left-hand counter according to the destination country. The aesthetically harmonious dial provides its display trilogy in a delightfully rounded manner, with local hours and minutes at 2 o\u2019clock, the world map at 6 o\u2019clock, and travel jumping hours and minutes at 10 o\u2019clock. The globe adjusted to the travel time zone features a world map punctuated with indications of the various time zones and surrounded by a subtle day\/night display. The simplicity of the read-off on the finely grained dial surface is inversely proportional to the complexity of the movement beneath. In keeping with the brand\u2019s grand tradition of pocket watches, the bridges and wheel trains of the Duom\u00e8tre feature polished sinks and are hand-bevelled, while the moving parts are snailed or smoothed. These Fine Watchmaking finishes are revealed through the sapphire back of the white gold case, rimmed with the engraved names of the cities corresponding to the 24 time zones. Horological passion transcends all known borders\u2026<\/div>\n
