Insider: L. Leroy 'Bal du Temps' Minute Repeater Tourbillon—Two Centuries of Timekeeping, Struck on Demand

The L.Leroy 'Bal du Temps' Minute Repeater Tourbillon is available in three references, and each has a distinct chromatic identity: ALD blue for the platinum (Ref. LL306/1), anthracite with gold for the red gold (Ref. LL305/1), and rhodium silver with an ALD-blue hand for the titanium (Ref. LL307/1). Each material tier reads as a genuinely different watch rather than the same design in different metals.

Few names in French watchmaking carry the weight of L.Leroy. Founded in Paris in 1785 by Charles Leroy, the Maison was appointed official watchmaker to the French royal court before becoming supplier to the French Naval Ministry in 1835—a role it held longer than any other manufacturer, producing more than 2,200 marine chronometers for naval fleets across Europe.
