Jaeger-LeCoultre wins two awards at timing competition

The Chronometrie 2009 was recently held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the watch museum in Le Locle. Only 16 watches entered the competition, of which two Jaeger-LeCoultre watches won. The winner was the Master Tourbillon, which gained on average .13 seconds a day, or less than 47.5 seconds a year and its rate did not vary more than .28 seconds a day. The Master Tourbillon uses a silicon escapement, which is more accurate than any other watch in this competition.

Here is a list of all the watches that were in the competition. I was surprised to see that AP decided not to enter their Jules Audemars with the AP escapement, which runs at 43,200 vph.
