 LUNA ROSSA AND PANERAI TOGETHER FOR THE 37TH AMERICA’S CUP

In the Luna Rossa team, winner of the PRADA Cup in the last America’s Cup, Panerai found an ideal partner, an Italian counterpart exemplifying excellence in its field. While Panerai is a well-known actor in the Swiss watchmaking sector, the brand’s Italian heritage infuses its work with a standout design sensibility. Both aspects of the Panerai identity unite to forge a portfolio of uncompromising watches with a particular focus on instruments for aquatic adventures.

Since 2017, Panerai has created watches that take inspiration from the materials and technology used in the America’s Cup and the majestic beauty of the yachting world. With the Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa, the collaboration begins a new chapter. The limited-edition offering of 1,500 pieces will be available at Panerai boutiques and online at panerai.com.

The Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa exhibits a considered balance between elegance and sporty bearing. The 44mm steel case is engineered to withstand the rigors of ocean racing or any other active endeavor, while its restrained design and neutral, marine-inspired color palette of blue, white and red adapts to casual dressing in every environment.

With its patented crown protection device, rubberized crown and rotating unidirectional bezel, the Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa is a diver’s vital companion, prepared for sustained exposure to the intense forces of the underwater world. An improved date window at 3 o’clock and small seconds subdial round out the functions. They are set in motion by Panerai caliber P.900, an automatically winding movement with a three-day power reserve.

Light scatters across the sun-brushed blue dial with the barest movement, giving a brilliant sheen to the surface, while white Super-LumiNova™ embedded within metallic appliques generates the glow of the dots, markers and hands. The dial features the team name to make abundantly clear the connection between the Luna Rossa and the handsome watch.

Water-resistant up to 30 bar (about 300 meters), the Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa features a dark blue bi-material strap accented with the red and white Luna Rossa logo and a second in the same ocean-inspired color and composed of recycled rubber. Also included is a tool kit to allow interchangeability of the straps and a screwdriver for removing the buckle.

Jaeger-LeCoultre – MASTER Control MEMOVOX Timer Gold Edition

 

Jaeger-LeCoultreMASTER® Control MEMOVOX Timer Gold 40mm Automatic Edition 2022

THE MEMOVOX LEGEND CONTINUES

·        A new aesthetic interpretation of the Master Control Memovox Timer in pink gold with a two-tone grey and black dial
·        The Memovox Timer offers an additional alarm-setting function based on elapsed time
·        The Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 956AA was entirely redesigned for the new generation of Memovox timepieces

Since Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the first Memovox watch in 1950, it has become the reference in wristwatch alarms, with various useful and innovative functions added to create different Memovox models over the decades.

In 2020, the Manufacture’s engineers developed an entirely new alarm-setting mechanism – the Memovox Timer. With the initial steel-cased model now highly sought-after by collectors, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces a new aesthetic interpretation: the Master Control Memovox Timer in pink gold.

The Timer function enables the watch owner to set the alarm based on the number of hours that should elapse before the alarm rings. Alternatively, the owner may set the alarm in the traditional way, based on a particular time (such as the time of an appointment or a wake-up alarm). The indicators are linked, so that whichever alarm-setting method is chosen, the second indicator will automatically move to the corresponding position.

The dial of the Master Control Memovox Timer is laid out in concentric circles – the black sunray-brushed background provides a rich contrast with the grey of the outer minutes ring and the alarm-indication disc. The innermost ring is engraved in bas-relief with highly polished numerals standing out against the granular texture of the background.

Here, the elapsed hours-until-alarm are indicated by a small hand tipped with a red JL logo. Set at the outer edge of the ring, the Memovox’s signature triangular marker points to the time at which the alarm will ring, indicated on a second concentric ring.

Adding refinement, the elongated triangular shape of the applied hour indexes – a signature of mid-century Memovox models – is echoed by the elegant simplicity of the Dauphine hands.

Contrasting with the deep shades of the dial, the pink gold 40-millimetre Master Control case exudes a relaxed and timeless elegance, with its sloping bezel, dynamically curved lugs and mix of polished and satin-brushed surfaces.

The Origin of the Memovox Legend

Despite being one of the most useful – and charming – of all complications, the alarm remains surprisingly rare in horology. The Memovox story began in 1950, a time when the world experienced a great burst of energy and inventiveness.

Against this backdrop, Jaeger-LeCoultre harnessed its mastery of chiming mechanisms to develop an alarm watch – a highly practical timepiece that seemed perfectly suited to the times.

In common with other chiming watches, an alarm mechanism has a hammer and gong; however, its particular technical challenge is that the hammers must strike the gong multiple times at very high speed, for a relatively extended period. 

A Redesigned Movement

For the latest generation of alarm watches, the Manufacture’s engineers comprehensively revised the self-winding Calibre 956, which – like all Jaeger-LeCoultre calibres – had been entirely conceived, developed and produced in-house. Previously, Memovox watches had a closed case-back, to which the gongs were attached; however, the new Master Control case has a transparent sapphire back, allowing the wearer to enjoy watching the hammers in action.

This demanded a complete redesign of the striking mechanism, with the gong now attached to the case side. An open-worked pink gold rotor, decorated with Côtes de Genève to match the fine finishing on the movement plates, ensures an unobstructed view of the strike-works. One important element remains unchanged from previous generations, however: the signature “school bell” sound of the alarm, which lends such charm to the Memovox.
