Vox Temporis Tourbillon Minute Repeater
L.Leroy has introduced the Vox Temporis, a new minute repeater and flying tourbillon watch inspired by an 1810 "tact" watch designed for reading time by touch. The watch features a rotating dial with a single fixed hour hand and is available in titanium, red gold, and platinum, with each version limited to 15 pieces.
- Available in 18k red gold, 950 platinum, or grade 5 titanium
- Limited edition of 15 pieces across three versions
- Price: CHF 265,000 (titanium), CHF 290,000 (red gold), CHF 320,000 (platinum)
The watch is named "Vox Temporis", Latin for "Voice of Time", referencing its minute repeater complication.
The single fixed hand is arrow-shaped and hand-engraved, with the dial rotating beneath it.
The platinum version was noted as feeling massive and heavy upon first impression.
The proprietary L601SQR calibre is manufactured by Régence Production SA and comprises 321 components.
The titanium version has a silver dial with a blue hand, the red gold model features a dark anthracite dial with a gold hand, and the platinum version pairs a deep blue dial with a silver hand.
The sound of the minute repeater is described as loudest and most beautiful from the titanium version.
The dial features a flinqué soleil decoration with a translucent varnish finish, available in blue, anthracite grey, or steel grey.
The tourbillon is intentionally hidden from the front of the dial to maintain a clean aesthetic.
