Many of these movements used in watches could have been around for almost a decade. Others create new innovative watch movements which takes lots of perseverance and dedication. Below, I have a list of the top three watch movements that are very fascinating.

Hublot Caliber HUB 1201

Hublot is known for its very intuitive designs and their technicality. Most importantly, Hublot has been able to keep their success due to fact that they design amazing watches while combining it with a beautiful movement. An example is the caliber HUB 1201, that powers the Big Bang Meca-10. Featuring a ten-day power reserve, this movement was skeletonized , having parts of the movement shown both in the caseback and the dial. This gives an insight from the front and back of the majesty of this movement.

Greubel Forsey 24 Secondes Vision

In the front of this Greubel Forsey is the 24 Secondes Vision, which is one of the most introvert. It almost looks like a regular watch apart from the opening in the dial which shows the 25 degrees inclined tourbillon. When you look at the caseback, it is totally different and a complete majesty. There the tourbillion takes the main stage underneath its crystal dome. It performs its mesmerizing dance every 25 seconds. Crowned by the power reserve indicator, this timepiece can be examined with a loupe and not one flaw will be found.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 849

Many watch movements have a long lasting history just like this caliber 849 by Jaeger-LeCoultre. It was created by both Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin as a manual wind, ultra-thin movement and first offered for sale in the early 1950’s. The movement being only 1.85 millimeters thick, Jaeger-LeCoultre amazed the world by not only skeletonizing the whole movement but also engraving it. They even went as far as opening up the mainspring barrel, decorating it with the brand’s logo. Crafts like this movement really define what Jaeger-LeCoultre stands for.

Many of the complex Reverso watches Jaeger-LeCoultre has released have been rather bulky and thick. On the other hand, this new timepiece is all about elegance and slimness. The 950 platinum case measures at 45.5mm x 27.4mm with Art Deco styles and grooves.

As JLC has always produced fancied double-dialed watches, it is to no surprise that this Reverso tourbillion has two faces. The first dial shows a classic sun-ray brushed blue dial with Dauphine hands and applied indices. The second dial is more technical, with a view of the tourbillion bridge. It displays the movement with on top a silvered grained dial for the independent second time-zone and the night-and-day indicator. The seconds are engraved on the tourbillon cage and pointed by an arrow on the tourbillon bridge as the tourbillion moves counter-clockwise.

To sum up this beautiful tourbillion, the main dial displays hours and minutes and the seconds on the tourbillion. A second time-zone and an indication of the day-and-night on its other dial. This JLC Reverso tourbillion is worn on a well matches blue alligator strap. It will be produced in 50 pieces only and priced at USD 123,000.
