JAEGER-LeCoULtRE<br />

MAStER GRANDE tRADItIoN toURBILLoN WItH pERpEtUAL CALENDAR – REF. 500.24.2A<br />

The first Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber to associate a tourbillon with a perpetual calendar comprises exactly 401 components.<br />

Its fascinatingly original conception is based on a split-level structure. The dial is divided between an upper part displaying<br />

<strong>the</strong> hours and minutes as well as <strong>the</strong> perpetual calendar indications, and a lower part on which a slight difference of level shows<br />

off <strong>the</strong> prominent tourbillon. The grade 5 titanium carriage is so light that <strong>the</strong> 78-part tourbillon escapement weighs a mere<br />

0.28g! The perpetual calendar displays <strong>the</strong> date, day of <strong>the</strong> week and month, while automatically taking account of <strong>the</strong> length of<br />

<strong>the</strong> months and <strong>the</strong> leap-year cycle.<br />
