Celebrating straw marquetry work (called "marqueterie de paille" in French), the movement is revealed by pressing the centre button opening the two parts in straw marquetry. The dial features a characteristic face inspired by the former regulators - a small dial for the hours, a large dial for the minutes. Apart from the month, it also indicates the moon phase with a precision that will take 3,821 years to diverge by just one day from astronomical reality. Perpetual Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 582.
