A blink to Jaeger-LeCoultre!

Jaeger-LeCoultre offered me the opportunity to discover the manufactury in Le Sentier. I met there very welcoming and receptive workers. The architecture of the building is as transparent as the watches. behind the windows of the manufactury, you can see the workers as on your wrist you can easily see the mecanism of a watch Jaeger-LeCoultre.



The watch of Jaeger-LeCoultre that most impress me, is the "Gyrotourbillon"




the magic of this watch is the brainchild of Eric Coudray and designer Magali Métrailler.



The actual display of Jaeger-LeCoultre wich will be replaced soon with a new design

for the love of minimalist design

Limitée à 500 exemplaires dans le monde, dont 200 au Japon, cette montre nommée SPECTRUM SVRD001 pèse 134 grammes et mesure 3,7 cm (de largeur). Vendue environ 1800 euros (plus de 250 000 yens), elle verra donc le jour le 27 janvier prochain et aura bien entendu un numéro de série (de 1 à 500 fort logiquement). Il sera possible de changer son mode d'affichage (12 ou 24h) et SEIKO précise qu'elle indique aussi le jour et le mois en cours. Ne résistant pas à l'eau, vous aurez par contre un an de garantie minimum assuré en cas de pépin.

The 1000100101 wristwatch is a 60's sci-fi looking timepiece with a brushed metal face and leather strap with a carbon fiber style coating. For an LED watch, it is packed with features and uses 31 green, yellow and red LEDs to display the time, date and day of the week and an auto light up function every quarter of an hour between 6pm and midnight.

Tokyoflash sells this sweet looking watch for only 9800 yen ($83) plus shipping. TokyFlash ships international of course.
Time telling Instructions (you need these for binary watches)
Telling the time uses the colored LED's to represent hours & minutes. By looking at the 4 rows of lights, the Green & Red LED's at the top indicate the hour simply by counting them. 3 red = 3 o'clock.
The Bottom rows of green & yellow LED's indicate the minutes. 2 Green + 7 yellow = 27 minutes past. It's the same for the date mode to indicate month & date. The day is shown on the very top row of holes where the markings M, T, W show the day (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc).
