he appellation “Elyor” derives from the anagram of Leroy. During the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution (1793-1794), Leroy – whose surname sounded too regal – signed his creations with this anagram to escape the harassment that revolutionaries inflicted on suppliers to the king and court.

This latest version is manufactured in a small number of units 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. The centre of the dial boasts a refined “Clous de Paris” motif, but the real star of the dial is undoubtedly the flying tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock.

At the core of the timepiece is the L.Leroy L600 automatic calibre, developed exclusively for the brand in Geneva. For the first time in the brand’s history, it integrates a micro-rotor. The 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.
