Recently on the Rolex Forum website, a member known by the name 'Sub24541' shared some interesting news! 🕵️♂️ According to the user, it seems that the latest patent filed by Rolex could mean the production of the iconic black and red bezel of the Rolex 'Coke' GMT-Master II could feasibly restart! 🕰️ Not only that, but it's said that the ceramic used would be even more robust. However, there's a catch... This innovation might make it impossible to produce the beloved blue and red bezel of the Rolex 'Pepsi' GMT-Master II. According to the post: "The base ceramic is zirconia (like all other Cerachrom bezels except the BLRO which uses an alumina base ceramic). They are achieving red color in a zirconia base (which they previously could not do and had to go to an alumina base) by doping with ceria, sintering in air and finally heat treating in hydrogen to red color (Ce3+) from brown (Ce4+)." "The other side of the bezel is blue after sintering in air (cobalt infiltration) and turns black after reduction in H2. So you can make a brown/blue bezel or a red/black bezel using this method but not a red/blue. And since this method uses a zirconia base the bezels may be more robust than the alumina-based red/blue BLRO bezels." How would you feel about this happening? 🤔 - #RolexForum #Rolex #GMTMasterII #CokeBezel

Over the course of almost two centuries, Jaeger-LeCoultre has distinguished itself through the development of increasingly sophisticated means of achieving the perfect regularity of the ‘heartbeat’ of its calibres – essential for accurate timekeeping. Among the key areas of research in this pursuit of precision, the Manufacture has developed great expertise in tourbillons and also invented the Duometre mechanism, which enables the addition of complications without any compromise to the accuracy of the timekeeping function. In 2024, Jaeger-LeCoultre unites these two lines of development, to create the Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual. Pushing the boundaries of inventiveness further than ever, the new Calibre 388 features an entirely new tourbillon construction: one that spins on three axes to create a ‘spinning top’ effect. Beating at a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 vph) to further enhance chronometry, Calibre 388 also incorporates a perpetual calendar with a grande date indication. #jaegerlecoultre #duometreheliotourbillon #watch_i_love
