Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179

The Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 marries the technical tour-de-force of the Maison’s signature multi-axis tourbillon to the finest of artistic craftsmanship, harnessing the skills of the Manufacture artisans to elevate this exceptional timepiece to a new level. Representing mechanical sophistication to reach the utmost timekeeping precision, Calibre 179 features the innovative multi-axis tourbillon. Associated with the Duoface complication, it displays a different time zone on each dial as well as a 24-hour indicator for the second time zone on the reverse dial. The Manufacture’s engineers have created an hemispherical balance spring – which expands and contracts like a beating heart-, adding aesthetic refinement at the heart of the Gyrotourbillon, as well as being highly efficient. Pure expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmaking expertise, this timepiece brings together the fastest flying Gyrotourbillon with the Duoface concept. Calibre 179 brings to life two dials with two distinct personalities, displaying a different time zone as well as a 24-hour indicator on the reverse dial. The Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 is a noble expression of the 180 skills brought together under one roof at the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre – a remarkable collaboration between watchmakers and artisans at the peak of their craft. Creating a rich contrast with the white gold case, the glowing dark blue lacquer deftly hand-applied appears on calibre plates metal, bridges or dials on both sides of the watch. A work of extraordinary precision made in our Manufacture’s Ateliers. Calibre 179 is fully skeletonized to reveal its deepest secrets. Dial and calibre plates have been reduced to their minimum for an aerial and aesthetic result: bevelling represents eight hours of work just for the signature shape of one bridge on the reverse side.
