he Elyor is a true masterpiece of time, designed for those who appreciate the allure of technical sophistication encased in classically refined aesthetics. This latest creation is manufactured in small quantities and is offered in three different versions. It features a tambour-shaped case, traditionally reserved by the brand for its classically styled timepieces, and measures 42mm in diameter with a thickness of just 11.88mm, including the domed sapphire crystal glass.

Its graceful lines, harmonious proportions, immaculate finishing and use of noble materials such as 18k 5N red gold and platinum, along with the more contemporary grade 5 titanium, reflect L.Leroy’s meticulous attention to detail.

The precious platinum version is paired with a light, sky-blue dial, obtained through ALD treatment, and white indices, evoking the clarity of a cloudless day.

The multi-layered dial, which comes in three different shades, identifies each piece in this newborn line. The satin-finished hour track on the titanium model features an evergreen silver hue and L.Leroy’s signature Arabic numerals in black decal. The 5N gold case is combined with an anthracite dial with golden accents while the platinum version is paired with a light, sky-blue dial. The centre of the dial boasts a refined “Clous de Paris” motif. A distinctive mark of luxury watchmaking in centuries past, it continues to be a highly prized technique today, mainly used on watches with a classic feel.

Apart from the beauty of its finishes, the real star of the dial is undoubtedly the eye-catching flying tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock. Visible through an opening that showcases its complexity and allure, it is adorned with a mirror-polished titanium bridge bearing the intertwined double “L” monogram.

At the heart of the Elyor – indicating the hours, minutes and central seconds – is the L.Leroy L600 automatic calibre, developed exclusively for L.Leroy in Geneva. Comprising 288 components, this high-performance movement incorporates a micro-rotor for the first time in the brand’s history, whose high-efficiency winding system guarantees a power reserve of 60 hours.
