Jaeger-LeCoultre really stands as an example of excellence as it continually pushes the boundaries of watchmaking innovation. Embodying the brand’s legacy of craftsmanship and sophistication, its Master Ultra-Thin collection has long been revered by connoisseurs for its exquisite design and technical prowess.
Now, in 2024, this iconic collection receives a captivating refresh, unveiling the new Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar, a horological marvel that redefines timeless elegance.
At the heart of the Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar lies Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Calibre 868, a testament to the brand’s expertise in crafting ultra-thin movements. Meticulously designed and assembled in-house, Calibre 868 boasts enhanced energy efficiency, delivering a robust power reserve of 70 hours. This remarkable feat is achieved through the incorporation of a new escapement and pallets, ensuring unparalleled performance and precision.
The perpetual calendar complication, a hallmark of horological complexity, addresses the intricate interplay between civil time and celestial cycles. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar seamlessly navigates this complexity, offering wearers a perpetual calendar function that accurately tracks the day, date, month, year, and moon phases with unparalleled precision.
Beyond its technical prowess, the Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar captivates with its refined design and exquisite detailing. While maintaining its elegant 39mm diameter and slender 9.2mm thickness, subtle enhancements have been made to the case and dial design. Slimmer lugs ensure increased comfort, while the dial receives improvements in legibility and detailing, including a refined moon phase display.
The collection offers four captivating variations, each exuding its own unique charm and sophistication. A standout model features a gradient midnight blue sunray dial, elegantly contrasting with its pink gold case. The azure finish of the sub-dials creates a mesmerising play of light against the sunray-brushed main dial, captivating the eye with its allure.
For those with a taste for understated elegance, two pink gold models that feature classical eggshell dials are available as well; one of which is adorned with diamonds around the bezel, adding a touch of opulence to the wrist. Rounding out the collection is a steel variation with a sunray-brushed silver dial, offering versatility for any and every occasion.
True to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy of marrying tradition with modernity, the Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar embodies horological excellence in a fresh and timeless style. Available with interchangeable alligator straps, this collection celebrates the brand’s legacy of precision and innovation while embracing contemporary elegance.
