Wristwatch by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]]

This [[monopusher chronograph]] has to offer an exciting technical innovation it has a newly designed [[manual winding]] movement Calibre [[JLC 380]]. This actually consists of two movements with separate [[barrel]]s and [[dial train]]s - one to indicate the time and one for the stop function, each with 50 hours power reserve. Both are arranged in parallel on the main [[plate]] like two wings, hence the term "Two Wings Calibre". They are coupled via the thumb wheel of the "flashing" sixth of a second that acts as a relay.

To activate the stop mechanism, normally a clutch is used, which however disturbs the drive of the [[movement]] - by the new construction it becomes superfluous. Because therefore the two movement parts don't influence each other, a maximum precision of the function is guaranteed the mechanism starts at the slightest touch of the button without delay.

The [[chronograph]], in addition to an exceptional display of hour, minute and seconds, has a digital stop-minute display and a [[seconde foudroyante]]. This "flashing second" is a small hand to display a split second. Every second it takes a revolution of six jumps. Thus, with the **Duomètre à Chronographe** times up to the sixth of a second can be accurately measured.

This watch was presented mid [[2007]] and in [[2008]] was elected as [[Watch of the Year]] (Uhr des Jahres).
