From the collection of a West Coast Gentleman Notes “Crystal Gong” In order to achieve a crystal-clear sound in a massive platinum case, JLC’s ingenious watchmakers attached the “Antoine Le-Coultre’s” gong heel to the front sapphire crystal. As a result, the sound emitted upon activating the minute repeating functions is of pure and distinct acoustic quality.
