LA RATTRAPANTE
Hommage La Chaux-de-Fonds 1738

Taking the measure of Time in all of its dimensions... that's the challenge facing the chronographe à rattrapante created for the prestigious Hommage La Chaux-de-Fonds 1738 Collection by Jaquet Droz. A masterpiece of the watchmaking art, the chronograph possesses a black Grand Feu enamelled dial that has long been a hallmark of the Manufacture, as well as a complex set of red gold hands whose perfect readability constitutes an impressive feat in itself. This chronographe à rattrapante, with its generously proportioned 45 mm red gold watchcase, can measure two events starting at the same time but of different durations: in turn, the chronograph hand and the rattrapante work together or compete under the supervision of the large date, proudly displayed in an aperture at 12 o'clock.
Thanks to its tachymeter function, the rattrapante can also measure the speed at which the wearer travels in kilometres/hour or the equivalent, an additional complication used to seize Time in all of its various forms, at the very same instant...
Issued in a Numerus Clausus of 88, this exquisite chronographe à rattrapante by Jaquet Droz, worn on a rolled-edge hand made black alligator leather strap, is for a select few: connoisseurs of rare luxury watches offering beauty of design as well as superlative mechanical complexity, whose only objective is to achieve surpassing perfection in the art of watchmaking.
