Very, very nice FX.....

Thank you for the review. This is a beautiful watch indeed. Love the dial and I am looking forward to see the finished movement. The "Brun" cage is unusual but very attractive and adds to the very pleasant architecture of the movement. A 15 lines in a 38m...

Not sure really....

..and to me they don't look the same. I had never heard of the "Brun" cage but if FX calls it the "Brun" cage....it must be a "Brun" cage and I find it quite attractive. Cheers Francois

Choice of 38 mm or 40 mm diameter case

Last year, Mr Olivier Müller outlined but did not elaborate on the reanimation of this brand name. The emphasis then was on the patrimony of the name and previous clients like H.M. Queen Victoria of Gt. Britain and Empress of India. I was also told to "be...
Yes, at least at this stage.

And you know if one day a SS version is available, I'm not sure that it would change a lot the retail price (35K CHF without taxes in PG 5N). Thanks! Fx
Beautifully made timepiece……

I like it a lot :) Perfect size for me, simple, yet highly accurate :) Whats not to like :)
Looks quite promising....

The movement is something to look at, and I like the simplicity of the dial and power reserve. Personally, I would like to see blue'd hands to stand out a bit more against the dial. As for pricing, I'd like to see a stainless steel version rather than jus...
The direct impulse escapement...
By: Goldenlutin : February 14th, 2015-14:45
seems to be the escapement which Mr Pellaton patented in 1923 and which was used in the mass produced AS 610 (a lady's watch movement) So nothing new here I guess. For the ones not willing to spend 35k, let's hunt for an AS 610 lady's watch. I am sure yo...
let's wait the finished product but...
By: Goldenlutin : February 16th, 2015-06:44
KV is in a class of his own and his natural escapement, based on Breguet's work, is much more refined and complicated than the escapement now used by Leroy. By the way, I am also curious to hear why this escapement (patented by Pellaton in 1923) is suppos...
to answer your questions...
By: Goldenlutin : February 17th, 2015-02:28
To answer your questions: 1.) You must be confusing Louis Leroy and Pierre Le Roy as Louis Leroy is not mentioned in the article. Pierre Le Roy and Louis Leroy are neither from the same family nor connected otherwise. 2.) Pierre Le Roy was one of the most...
Quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari !

Dear Goldenlutin, first of all I would like to introduce myself as being the person in charge of LEROY, my name is Olivier Müller. You may know that I have worked before on another project - together with Karsten Frassdorf who made it work ! - in which we...

By: Goldenlutin : February 17th, 2015-05:53
Dear Mr Mueller, Thanks you for your precious time and very informative post. Please allow me to address your concerns: 1.) I was obviously not comparing the whole movement with an AS 610 but just stating that, based on different pictures (= facts), it se...

Thank you François-Xavier for your very interesting article and the nice pictures of a prototype ! I take the opportunity to announce the second major novelty that LEROY will present at Baselworld in one month time : calibre L100 which will feature anothe...
Very exciting to see a nice modern chronometre with...
By: brandon1 : February 17th, 2015-15:52
...A true chronometre escapement and a movement designed with unique and compelling features. Would be a great watch to compare side-by-side with a UJS P8 chronometre! I can't wait to see what tricks they've employed to make the escapement wrist-ready. Th...
Very nice watch.

Love the movement, and the "different" power reserve indicator. Thanks for sharing. vte
