Inverted Mechanical Watches

The LEGARE Chapter 1 AGP Inverted Reinterprets a 1932 Movement

The LEGARE Chapter 1 AGP Inverted is the inaugural timepiece from the Neuchâtel-based watchmaker, reimagining Albert-Gustave Piguet's 1932 double-balance pocket watch for a contemporary wristwatch format. Encased in Grade 5 titanium measuring 37.5mm by 9.95mm, the watch features an inverted movement architecture that places two independent balance wheels on the dial side. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, the regulating organs are linked by a mechanical differential that averages their rates before transmitting time to flame-blued hands.

Powered by the manual-wind Caliber LC1-AGP01 with a 50-hour power reserve, the watch incorporates side-angled lever escapements, a sapphire minute ring and hand-finished details including mirror-polished bevels, perlage and hand-grained surfaces. The collection is offered in Elegant and Darth editions, each limited to 25 individually numbered pieces. The LEGARE Chapter 1 AGP Inverted is priced at SGD 146,100.
