JAEGER DUOMETRE Series Update, More Suitable For Wearing

2024-05-06

At this year's watch exhibition, major brands are continuously weakening the formal attributes of formal watches while also improving the comfort of wearing ultra complex formal watches. In addition, in the field of diving watches, major brands are constantly improving the playability of this type of watch through various means!

For Jaeger, the DUOMETRE series is not so much a series as a platform or a standard. Because among all the non super complex tables currently available in Jaeger, the watchmaking standards implemented by DUOMETRE can be said to be at the forefront of the entire watchmaking industry, or rather, the DUOMETRE series is the true embodiment of Jaeger's watchmaking capabilities. Jaeger breaks the conventional structure of the movement, not simply having two winding boxes, but two independent sets of winding wheel systems. One set is responsible for driving travel time and other additional functions, and the other set is responsible for driving escapes and cycloids. The biggest benefit of doing so is that any additional functions, including travel time, will not affect the swing of the swing wheel, thereby ensuring the accuracy of travel time.

Although Jaeger's DUOMETRE is so excellent, its market performance has been lukewarm in the 17 years since its inception. Apart from its high starting price, one important reason I believe is that it is too thick, too grand, and not suitable for daily wear. So over the past decade, Jaeger has been using various methods to turn it into a more everyday watch. And this year's all-new DUOMETRE has turned this demand into reality. This year, the all-new DUOMETRE has launched four works, namely a three-axis tourbillon, two lunar phase timers, and one lunar phase calendar. Their common feature is that by using dome shaped mirrors and reducing the thickness of the watch case, they have successfully weakened the previous DUOMETRE series's sense of heaviness.
