In 2005, Jaeger-LeCoultre made a significant impact on the industry with the launch of the Master Minute Repeater collection. This was highlighted by their innovative use of a crystal gong, which secures the "heel" of the gong to the sapphire crystal to amplify the pure acoustics of the chime—a groundbreaking revelation. Encased in platinum, this model was released as a limited edition of just 200 pieces. The semi-skeletonized dial features an unusual design that includes impressive indications for a 15-day power reserve and a spring torque, both displayed in retrograde style. This semi-skeletonized design allows the wearer to appreciate the visually striking repeating mechanism while being enchanted by the crisp, clear chime. Powering this chiming timepiece is the manually wound in-house calibre 947, which consists of 413 parts. The present example, numbered 177 in platinum, is offered in excellent overall condition and is an ideal choice for connoisseurs who appreciate this romantic yet sophisticated complication.
