Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 381.

Important note regarding the power reserves 

of the Calibre 381 Dual-Wing.

The Dual-Wing movement of the Duomètre 
Quantième Lunaire watch model features two 
barrels.  The first barrel provides the watch’s 
regulator (regulating organ) with 50 hours 
of power reserve.  The second barrel, which 
is independent from the first, provides all the 
watch’s functions with 50 hours of power 
reserve. The functions, thus, do not cause any  
loss of energy or isochronism in the escapement.
The regulator’s power reserve is indicated 
by the blue triangle positioned between 7 
and 8 o'clock.  The functions’ power reserve
