The Movement

Our Heritage Chronograph features the exclusive Caliber LC-450, a hand-wound column wheel chronograph crafted by Manufacture La Joux-Perret S.A. in Switzerland. With a stunning 60-hour power reserve, the 23 jewels movement showcases meticulous detailing, including a blue column wheel, polished screws, and Geneva stripes. Adjusted to 5 positions for optimal accuracy.

Inspiration

Ref. 324.497 draws direct inspiration from the watch that sparked the revival of Lebois & Co in 2014. Tom van Wijlick, who would go on to breathe new life into the brand, discovered the watch and was immediately captivated by its timeless elegance. Encouraged by his wife Eveline, he printed a picture of the watch and stuck it on the fridge—a daily reminder of a dream that was meant to become reality. This remarkable watch, auctioned by Christie's in 2012, became the symbol of a new future for Lebois & Co.
