L.Leroy marks a new chapter in its long watchmaking history with the ELYOR tourbillon, a timepiece that reflects the Maison’s heritage of precision, craftsmanship, and innovation. The name “ELYOR” is an anagram historically used by Leroy during the French Revolution, when the brand’s original name sounded too closely associated with royalty. Introduced within the classic Osmior collection, the watch celebrates over two centuries of horological excellence. Founded in 1785 at the Palais Royal in Paris, L.Leroy became watchmaker to figures such as Napoleon I and Queen Victoria, earning hundreds of chronometry awards and creating iconic pieces including the legendary Leroy 01.
Produced in limited numbers, the ELYOR is offered in three distinct versions, each balancing classical elegance with contemporary refinement. The 42 mm tambour-shaped case is available in 18k 5N red gold, platinum, or grade-5 titanium, with a slim profile enhanced by a domed sapphire crystal. Multi-layered dials in anthracite, sky blue, or silver tones create distinctive visual identities, while applied Arabic numerals and a traditional “Clous de Paris” pattern add depth and texture. At six o’clock, the flying tourbillon takes centre stage, rotating once per minute beneath a polished titanium bridge bearing the brand’s double-L emblem.
Powering the watch is the L.Leroy L600 automatic calibre, developed in Geneva and composed of 288 components. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, the movement incorporates a micro-rotor for the first time in the brand’s history, delivering a 60-hour power reserve while maintaining a slim profile. Crafted from dense tungsten-based Inermet, the rotor ensures efficient winding. Through the sapphire caseback, collectors can admire the movement’s refined finishing, including perlage, polished bevels, and decorative bridges, showcasing the artistry that defines haute horlogerie.
