Jaeger-LeCoultre Twin Wings Moon Phase Watch - Demonstrating True Strength

Posted by lifata on December 8th, 2022

Hello everyone, for Jaeger-LeCoultre replica, the wings are not so much a series as a platform or a standard. The biwing chronograph is the first biwing watch I came into contact with. At that time, the first impression it gave me was that it was exquisite and gorgeous, but because the chronograph was too thick, I always thought that the biwing was not suitable for daily wear. However, when this biwing moon When the picture came to me, it instantly changed my inherent cognition.

I believe that when you choose Jaeger-LeCoultre best replica watches, there is a high probability that you will not choose the wings as the first choice. One is because the starting price is slightly higher, and the other is that it is too thick and grand for daily wear. It can be said that the price of Jaeger-LeCoultre Shuangwing is indeed not cheap, but after you play it carefully, you will find that the price is actually very reasonable. As for why it is reasonable, I will explain in detail later. As for the problem that its thickness is not suitable for daily wear, I think it should vary from watch to watch. Jaeger-LeCoultre Wings was born in 2007, with a thickness of 13.6 mm, it was an anomaly at the time when formal watches were the mainstream, and its unreasonable case side ratio made it look thicker than the actual size.

Now more than ten years have passed, and the wings are constantly being optimized. Although the actual thickness of the current wings has not changed much, they look much thinner than before. I think this is definitely the true inheritance of Lange. The optimized wings first increase the thickness of the bottom cover while reducing the thickness of the case, thereby visually creating the illusion of a thinner watch; secondly, the bottom cover lowers the bottom cover by concave edges while thickening Then, the diameter of the case is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bezel and the bottom cover as it becomes thinner, so that the layers on the side of the watch are richer; finally, the lugs follow the thinning of the case and the front is also carried out. appropriate narrowing.

After this series of operations, a wing with a thickness of 13.5 mm looks as if it is only 11 or 12 mm. It is also because it looks thinner, so it does not feel so heavy when worn, and this thickness is only half a millimeter thicker than the water ghost, which is also normal today. You must know that Polaris is only 0.4mm thinner than it. Moreover, the complexity of the movement and the wings are not in the same dimension at all.

After talking about its wearing, let me talk about its reasonable pricing. The reason why I say that the wings are both a platform and a standard is because in all non-super complex fake watches cheap of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the watchmaking standards implemented by the wings are the most important in the entire watchmaking process. The watch industry can be said to be a top-notch existence, or the double wing series is the full display of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s true watchmaking strength. Metaphorically speaking, the wings are like BMW's M. First of all, Jaeger-LeCoultre's double wings broke the conventional movement structure. Instead of simply having two barrels, there are two sets of independent clockwork gear trains, one is responsible for driving travel time and other additional functions, and the other is a clockwork gear train. Responsible for driving the escapement and balance wheel.

The biggest advantage of this structure is that any additional functions, including travel time, will not affect the swing of the balance wheel, thereby ensuring the accuracy of travel time. The principle is that the two sets of wheel trains meet at the double-layer escapement wheel, the functional part uses the upper escapement wheel, and the escapement part uses the lower escapement wheel. In addition to the special mechanism, Jaeger-LeCoultre Wings also has two unique and awesome functions. The first is 1/6 second at 6 o'clock, and the jumping second hand. The second hand rotates once a second, and jumps 6 times in a circle, which can accurately display 1/6 second. The second is to stop the second and return to zero. When the crown is pulled out to the first gear, the central second hand and 1/6 second hand stop at the same time first, and then push the crown, and the two second hands will automatically return to zero. Stop, avoid the swing disorder when the balance wheel restarts, the key is that the playability is greatly improved.

In addition to being fun, another extraordinary charm of the wings is that the movement looks really seductive. Since the two wings are two barrels, the movement pattern is balanced and symmetrical. The standard German silver splint of the whole series shines with a unique champagne color, and the decoration method of the Geneva stripes has also changed to center on the balance wheel. Radiating all around, the edges of the plywood are all chamfered and polished. Due to its independent splints with more glue, the overall vision is even more patchwork. In short, both technical and artistic levels have reached the top level of the watchmaking industry.
