L. Leroy
History
The brand uses the name of a 18th century French watchmaker, Basile Le Roy. It had been re-launched in 1998 by David Zanetta. In 2004, the Spanish entrepreneur Miguel Rodriguez became president and owner of L.Leroy. Since 2013, under the new ownership, the company has unveiled contemporary collections crafted in Le Sentier. In 2023, L. Leroy partnered with a specialized Geneva workshop to restore historic wristwatches, pocket watches, and table clocks, preserving both their patina and mechanical integrity.
Models
At the Geneva Watch Week 2026 the company presented the L. Leroy Elyor Tourbillon. Produced in a limited quantity, the Elyor features a refined 42 mm tambour-shaped case with a slim profile of 11.88 mm (including the domed sapphire crystal). It is available in three materials: 18-carat 5N red gold with an anthracite dial, platinum with a blue dial, and grade 5 titanium with a silver dial for a tone-on-tone effect.
The multi-layered dial is enhanced by a central “Clous de Paris” motif and features applied Arabic numerals.
The watch is driven by an exclusive L.Leroy L600 automatic calibre, developed in Geneva. Comprising 288 components, it features a flying tourbillon, a variable-inertia balance oscillating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, and — introduced here for the first time by the brand — a micro-rotor delivering a 60-hour power reserve.
