A Masterpiece Reimagined: Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 362

Marking ten years since its groundbreaking debut, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 362 returns in a stunning new interpretation. This ultra-thin marvel of horology, now featuring a deep midnight-blue sunrayed dial housed in an elegant 18k white gold case, is available in a highly exclusive run of just five pieces.

Combining cutting-edge innovation with timeless design, this watch is a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of haute horology.

Harnessing a Legacy of Innovation

Since its founding in 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been synonymous with precision and acoustic excellence. With over 200 chiming calibres developed since its first minute repeater in 1875, the brand continues to refine the art of sound in watchmaking.

The Calibre 362 exemplifies this expertise with:

• Crystal Gongs: Attaching gongs directly to the sapphire crystal transforms it into a resonator, amplifying the chime.
• Trebuchet Hammers: Articulated hammers ensure a robust and clear sound.
• Silent-Timelapse Reduction: A novel mechanism minimizes pauses in the chiming sequence, maintaining seamless acoustics.

The watch’s precision is further elevated by innovations such as an S-shaped hairspring and a flying balance wheel, which enhance timekeeping stability and reduce overall thickness.

Technical Brilliance in Ultra-Thin Form

At just 7.8 mm thick, the Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 362 remains a marvel of miniaturization. Its movement, composed of 566 meticulously crafted components, is a mere 4.7 mm thick. Innovations such as a peripheral rotor for automatic winding allow the watch to maintain its slim profile while enhancing functionality.

The flying tourbillon, uncaged and visible in its full glory, adds both technical and aesthetic brilliance. This design not only improves the watch’s precision but also provides an unobstructed view of its mesmerizing oscillations.

A Refined Aesthetic – Midnight-Blue Meets White Gold

The new interpretation of the Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 362 highlights the striking contrast between its midnight-blue dial and polished white gold case.

The deep blue sunrayed dial offers a dramatic backdrop for the elongated Dauphine hands and minimalist hour markers, paying homage to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s historic pocket watches.

White gold was chosen not only for its elegance but also for its superior acoustic qualities, enhancing the performance of the minute repeater.

A Testament to Craftsmanship

Every detail of this timepiece reflects Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dedication to artistry. From the hand-beveled bridges to the snailed finish on the peripheral rotor, the craftsmanship is exemplary.

The Métiers Rares™ atelier’s skill is evident in every sharp internal angle and polished surface, ensuring the watch is as beautiful as it is functional.

Limited Edition Exclusivity

Available in just five pieces, the Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 362 is not merely a watch but a collector’s treasure. This limited edition underscores Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to exclusivity and innovation, making it a rare gem in the world of haute horology.

The Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 362 is more than a timepiece—it is a symbol of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dedication to advancing the art of watchmaking. With its unmatched technical sophistication, innovative features, and timeless design, this limited-edition masterpiece is a true celebration of horological excellence.
