Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Le Rhöne Vöyage JMT “Jumping Meridian Time”
The new creation from Le Rhöne independent watchmaker is named Vöyage JMT ‘Jumping Meridian Time’, pink gold and blue dial, 41mm. The timepiece reveals an outstanding simultaneous 2-timezone display. The complication shows ‘Home Time’ hour on excentered double window whereas local hour remain on central axis. Hour setting on local time zone is done with case pusher located at 10. The Home Time is boldly displayed on 24 hours thanks to 2 ‘Jumping’ retrograde discs (hence the JMT naming) positioned at 12. Home Time date can be read in a window at 6. In echo to the inside mechanism comes a rhodium-coated atlas on a satin-finished blue dial, delicately adorned with meridian lines.
