Time Capsules: News –Motorcycling and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor

One of the world’s most demanding motorsports races, the Dakar Rally, is taking place now in Argentina and Chile – across extreme conditions that include desert and tundra. Famous Greek motor biker Vasillis Orfanas is participating for the fifth time this year, and is wearing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor extreme World Chronograph.  

 This world time watch houses the automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 752 equipped with a patented shock absorber system protecting the self-winding chronograph movement from vibrations and jolts — even through heat, water and sand that the watch will be facing during the 16 days of the Dakar Rally. The watch is a big, bold sports piece that defiantly makes a personal statement about its wearer.
