L.Leroy Vox Temporis Tourbillon Minute Repeater
L.Leroy has introduced the Vox Temporis, a new tourbillon minute repeater featuring a single-hand display inspired by a 19th-century tact watch. This timepiece aims for a more simplified design compared to a previous unique piece, focusing on legibility and the chiming complication.
- Limited edition of 15 pieces
- Price: CHF 265,000 (titanium), CHF 290,000 (red gold), CHF 320,000 (platinum)
The design is inspired by a Leroy tact watch from 1810, created for Prince Emil Maximilian Leopold August of Hesse, which allowed time to be read by touch using diamonds and pearls around the case.
The time is indicated by a rotating dial with a fixed, hand-engraved arrow-shaped hour hand, and the dial is available in blue, anthracite grey, or steel grey with a flinqué soleil decoration.
The proprietary L601SQR manual-winding calibre is manufactured by Régence Production SA and combines a minute repeater with a flying one-minute tourbillon.
The watch features an officer-style hinged caseback, released by a pusher at 4 o'clock, to view the movement.
The movement beats at 3Hz (21,600 vibrations/hour) and comprises 321 components.
It is presented on a black alligator leather strap with a folding clasp bearing the brand's double-L logo.
