AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT

In Context

At 44 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 15.2 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

193K450 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a skeleton dial with a ceramic, platinum case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a gmt and a tourbillon.

Caliber 988 pairs a tourbillon escapement with second timezone functionality. It has a total of 313 parts, including 35 jewels.

1 other watch in the library runs the Jaeger-LeCoultre 988.
