Three Functions in One Watch

The new "Le Brassus Carrousel Minute Repeater Flyback Chronograph" is an ultimate complication model that houses three complex mechanisms: a flying carrousel, a minute repeater with cathedral-type gongs that chime beautifully after circling the case about one and a half times, and a flyback chronograph mechanism that allows for immediate restart of timing by pressing the reset button even during measurement.

While meticulously crafted with numerous subtle innovations, the minute repeater mechanism, in particular, features a flying governor with no mechanical contact to control the speed of the hammer striking the gongs, dramatically reducing operating noise. Significant improvements have also been made, such as the automatic disconnection of the repeater's operation from the crown adjustment system to reduce the risk of malfunction.

Furthermore, the adoption of a vertical coupling clutch for the flyback chronograph mechanism is also noteworthy.
