Jaeger-LeCoultre elevates Haute Horlogerie with the Master Hybris Mechanica Ultra Thin Minute Repeater Tourbillon, a watch with striking transparency. Housed in an 18K pink gold case just 8.25mm thick, this ultra-thin timepiece reveals its intricate movement through sapphire elements and an open-worked dial ring. At its heart lies the legendary Calibre 362, a groundbreaking movement combining a minute repeater and a flying tourbillon, two of watchmaking’s most complex complications. Holding multiple patents, this calibre remains the world’s thinnest automatic minute repeater tourbillon, delivering both visual drama and exceptional acoustic performance.
Rooted in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s long-standing expertise in chiming watches and ultra-thin movements, Calibre 362 is engineered as a fully integrated system rather than a layered construction. Every component, from the peripheral rotor to the flying tourbillon, contributes to its slim profile. The reimagined striking mechanism minimises space while enhancing sound clarity, while the lightweight flying tourbillon, free from an upper bridge, adds both precision and visual lightness. This allows the watch to achieve remarkable thinness without compromising performance,.
Designed to highlight every detail, the movement features transparent sapphire bridges, offering an uninterrupted view of its 593 components. Hand-finished using 14 decorative techniques, each element reflects exceptional craftsmanship, from polished bevels to intricate guilloché. The open dial frames the movement with a refined white gold ring, while pink gold accents create subtle contrast. Beyond aesthetics, the minute repeater delivers a rich, precise chime thanks to advanced gong and hammer design, ensuring clarity and rhythm. The result is an ultra-thin masterpiece that redefines modern luxury watchmaking.
