Jaeger-LeCoultre has introduced a new integrated bracelet Master Control Chronometre collection, offering three distinct models: a time and date, a date power reserve, and a perpetual calendar. These watches blend Jaeger-LeCoultre's refined aesthetics with the robustness of a modern sports watch, featuring cases that range from 38mm to 39mm and remain under 10mm thick. The collection emphasizes elegant finishing, with brushed surfaces and polished chamfers, and incorporates a distinctive bracelet design with center links echoing the dauphine hands.
- 38mm to 39mm case diameter
- 8.4mm to 9.2mm case thickness
- 50 metres water resistance
- 70 hours power reserve (Date Power Reserve model)
The 38mm time and date model is noted for its simplicity and refined case design, featuring brushed surfaces with polished chamfers and a minimal bezel.
The Perpetual Calendar model, despite its complications, maintains a slim profile at 39mm and 9.2mm, featuring a dial with four displays and opaline outer sections with azuré centers for visual depth.
The Date Power Reserve model stands out with its balanced dual sub-dials at 9 and 3 o'clock, incorporating a power reserve indicator tastefully into the dial.
The integrated bracelet across the collection features flattened, elongated, hexagonal-like intermediary links that visually connect to the dauphine hands and trapezoidal hour markers.
A clever micro-adjustment system is integrated into the butterfly clasp, allowing for an extra link of adjustment via a simple pull.
The Perpetual Calendar's moon phase indicator uses hammered gold leaf on the pink gold model and hammered platinum leaf on the steel version.
The Date Power Reserve is powered by the in-house automatic calibre 738, which is COSC-certified and regulated to Jaeger-LeCoultre's HPG Seal standards.
