A Celestial Timepiece: Where Elegance Meets Precision
Introducing the Heritage Sector Chronograph Aventurine
The independent watchmaker, Lebois & Co, is delighted to present the Heritage Sector Chronograph Aventurine, a striking new variant within its acclaimed Heritage collection. This timepiece builds upon the foundation of the brand's popular vintage-inspired chronographs, setting itself apart with a sophisticated aventurine dial and an updated sector-style dial architecture. This launch also heralds a more organized naming convention for Lebois & Co's offerings, with 'Heritage Sector' now signifying watches featuring sector dials, complementing other distinct sub-families such as Heritage Atelier and Heritage Script.
The Enduring Elegance of the Case Design
The watch retains the series' robust stainless steel casing, which measures a balanced 39mm in diameter, with a thickness of 13.9mm and a lug-to-lug distance of 47.35mm. The case showcases a harmonious blend of meticulously brushed and polished finishes, complemented by elongated chronograph pushers and a finely knurled crown. A double-domed sapphire crystal gracefully covers the dial, enhancing both aesthetics and durability. This timepiece is designed to withstand water pressure up to 50 meters, ensuring practicality alongside its refined appearance.
The Dazzling Aventurine Dial: A Starry Display
The dial is undoubtedly the focal point of this new edition, where true innovation unfolds. Crafted from aventurine glass, infused with minute metallic particles, it delivers an enchanting, ever-changing visual depth. Lebois & Co has employed a sophisticated multi-layer construction for the dial to seamlessly integrate the recessed sub-dials. The dial is anchored on a brass base, skillfully layered with two aventurine sections, measuring 0.40mm and 0.35mm thick respectively, allowing for the elegant hollowing out of the sub-dials.
Precision and Legibility: The Sector Dial's Intuitive Layout
The watch's layout adopts a classic sector dial aesthetic, featuring concentric tachymeter and minutes/seconds tracks, alongside highly legible numerals. The chronograph minutes counter is positioned at 3 o'clock, while the running seconds subdial resides at 9 o'clock. The central chronograph hand is exquisitely slender and precise. For optimal visibility in low-light conditions, the hour and minute hands, as well as the numerals and sector markings, are treated with BGW9 Super-LumiNova.
The Heart of the Chronograph: A Masterful Movement
Driving this exceptional timepiece is the LC-450 caliber, Lebois & Co's designation for the manual-winding La Joux-Perret column-wheel chronograph movement. This meticulously engineered movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a substantial 60-hour power reserve. Its traditional chronograph construction, complete with a column wheel, underscores its reliability and precision. The intricate workings of the movement, adorned with perlage and elegant Geneva stripes, are beautifully showcased through the transparent sapphire case back.
