The new Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel unveiled by Jaeger-LeCoultre features four internal apertures that are the embodiment of watchmaking complications and a blue enamel guilloché motif. Limited to 100 pieces, this ultra-thin watch has seen a reimagining of its Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 868, one of the most emblematic of the Grande Maison.
This timepiece features a new display of its perpetual calendar (day at 3 o’clock, date at 9 o’clock, month and year at 12 o’clock) simultaneously indicating the moon in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Housed in a disk at 6 o’clock, the moon phase sets itself in motion, during its different phases (waxing or waning), in a polished starry sky and has a new design, including an engraved counter.
Just like the two limited editions from the same family, the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel watch sets itself apart with its refined and lengthened hour-markers. Their stretched-out silhouette blends in with the guilloché blue enamel dial, completed by hand at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture. This artistic work enhances the functions on this model, where a concern for ergonomics is visible to the naked eye. The intense and luminous blue of the new and geometrical guilloché dial goes well with the deep blue of the matching alligator strap.
The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel watch showcases the precision of its movement and complications, but also artisanal handcrafts. With the help of ancestral tools, some of which were produced on site at the Grande Maison, artisans use their hands to enamel, polish, refine, enhance and carry out guilloché work on dials, movements and complications, in accordance with ageold processes.
