A Symphony of Craftsmanship and Innovation

Calibre 184 is more than just a watch—it is a work of art. With 1,052 components, each meticulously assembled over five months by a single master watchmaker, the level of skill required for its creation is unmatched. The watch showcases “Grand Feu enameling” and lacquering, techniques that have been perfected in the Manufacture’s Atelier des Métiers Rares™, making each timepiece as unique and enchanting as Santorini’s sunset over the Aegean.

At Excelsior Santorini, you can explore exceptional watches from Jaeger-LeCoultre that testifies to the Maison’s excellence. Each embodies the brand’s pursuit of perfection, much like the island’s breathtaking landscapes that inspire awe and wonder.

Innovative Features That Redefine Luxury

The minute repeater of the Caliber 184 is a true marvel. Playing the Westminster melody with four hammers and four gongs, this feature alone is protected by seven patents, ensuring unparalleled precision and clarity of sound. The ingenuity of the time-lapse reduction mechanism guarantees a smooth cadence, much like the effortless beauty of Santorini’s horizon as it stretches into the sea.

The “Gyrotourbillon”—the smallest of its kind—boasts 94 components weighing just 0.4 grams. This intricate mechanism compensates for gravitational effects, ensuring constant force and energy flow to maintain flawless precision. Just as Santorini balances vibrant life and serene beauty, this timepiece maintains equilibrium with masterful engineering.

A Perpetual Calendar for Timeless Elegance

One of the most innovative features of the caliber 184 is its **perpetual calendar**. Taking into account leap years, this complication requires no adjustment until 2100. Moreover, it can be set both forward and backward without damaging its delicate mechanism—another testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s exceptional watchmaking mastery. Just as Santorini stands the test of time, so too does this watch promise longevity and grace, making it a fitting addition to any connoisseur’s collection.

A Design that Mirrors Santorini’s Natural Splendor

Like the island’s dramatic cliffs and azure waters, the design of the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 184 is a symphony of contrasts. Soft curves meet sharp geometric lines, and textures interplay with shine. The “black Grand Feu enamel” and smoky sapphire dial give the watch a bold, modern edge, while maintaining timeless sophistication.

The “Grande Tradition case”, with more than 80 individually adorned components, is a canvas for fine craftsmanship. The polished, brushed, and micro-blasted finishes highlight the sculptural form of the timepiece, much like Santorini’s architecture harmonizes with the island’s natural beauty. Even the reverse of the watch is a spectacle, with hand-beveled bridges, radiant Côtes de Genève, and heat-blued screws adding a layer of refinement that is as breathtaking as the island’s volcanic caldera.
