Lesablier Temporis Sauterelle Review: Small Brand Enters the Jump‑Hour Segment
The Lesablier Temporis Sauterelle is a jump‑hour watch that blends distinctive stone dials with a robust 904L stainless‑steel case. Designed by founder Akbar Sattah, the 39.5 mm case features a curved back, a 12.1 mm thickness and a 20 mm integrated bracelet with quick‑release endlinks, offering a seamless transition from case to links. The watch is available with malachite, aventurine, lapis lazuli, tiger’s eye, and an open‑worked version, each paired with a stainless‑steel bracelet rather than standard straps. Its dial layout places the hour window at 12 o’clock, surrounded by a fluted chapter ring and a minute ring with subtle numbering, while the seconds hand is omitted. Powering the watch is Lesablier’s LJ1 movement, a Miyota 9015 base equipped with a customized jump‑hour module and an engraved gold‑tone rotor, delivering a standard 28,800 vph frequency and a quoted power reserve of 36–42 hours. Priced at $1,745 USD for stone dials and $1,875 USD for the open‑worked version, the Temporis Sauterelle positions itself at the low end of the jump‑hour market while offering high‑quality materials and unique design elements that set it apart from competitors.
Buying Time Analysis: This review highlights the significance of Lesablier’s Temporis Sauterelle as an affordable, well‑crafted jump‑hour watch that brings innovative stone dials and thoughtful design to a market traditionally dominated by higher‑priced pieces, demonstrating how a small brand can impact watch enthusiasts seeking both uniqueness and value.
