Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater, Antoine LeCoultre No. 079/200

Partially verified

This Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater, Antoine LeCoultre, is a platinum wristwatch released in a limited edition of 200 pieces. Bearing case number 0245 and reference 151.6.67.S, this watch was sold on February 6, 2009. The three-body platinum case measures 44 mm in diameter and 15 mm in thickness, featuring a transparent case back secured by four screws, polished surfaces, and concave lugs. The satiné silver dial includes applied white gold dart indexes, Arabic numerals, and luminous dots. It displays two primary complications: a 15-day power reserve and a spring torque indication, alongside apertures revealing movement components. The watch is powered by the Caliber 947, a rhodium-plated, 43-jewel manual-wind movement featuring fausses cotes decoration, a straight-line lever escapement, and a duo spring barrel system. The minute-repeating function is activated via a slide on the case band.

Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The timepiece is housed in a solid, three-body platinum case with a polished finish and concave lugs. Measuring 44 mm in diameter and 15 mm in thickness, the case is water-resistant and fitted with sapphire crystals. A transparent case back secured by four screws allows visibility into the movement, and a repeating slide is mounted on the side of the case band.

The satiné silver dial incorporates applied white gold dart indexes, Arabic numerals, and luminous dots. The display features sectors dedicated to the 15-day power reserve and spring torque indications, along with open apertures that provide a view of specific movement details. The time is indicated by luminous alpha-style white gold hands.

  • “Satiné silver with applied white gold dart indexes, Arabic numerals and luminous dots”

Movement and Repeating Mechanism

The Caliber 947 movement is a rhodium-plated caliber finished with fausses cotes decoration. The movement comprises 43 jewels and is engineered with a straight-line lever escapement, a monometallic balance, and a shock-absorber system. Timing precision is maintained by a self-compensating Breguet balance spring.

The complication assembly includes a duo spring barrel system to manage the power output. The minute-repeating function is activated via the slide on the case band, which operates the striking mechanism on the internal gongs.
