Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Calendar rose gold

Description

• Elegance and Watchmaking Precision

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control collection embodies the very essence of refined watchmaking, where precision, elegance and know-how are combined to perfection. Created to offer timeless pieces, this range is distinguished by its subtle balance between tradition and innovation. Inspired by the emblematic designs of the golden age of watchmaking in the 1950s, it was launched in 1992 under the name Master Control, paying tribute to the tradition of Haute Horlogerie that characterises Jaeger-LeCoultre. Each model in this collection is subjected to the rigourous 1000-hour control test, a series of internal tests that far exceed official chronometry standards and guarantee absolute reliability.

The Master Control Calendar 1000 Hours reference 147.2.41. S in rose gold beautifully illustrates this philosophy, offering a sophisticated interpretation of the complete calendar. It testifies to the spirit of innovation of Jaeger-LeCoultre, which continues to improve the calibres of the Master Control collection without sacrificing its sophistication and timeless elegance.

Housed in a 40 mm case in 18 carat pink gold, the Master Control Calendar seduces with its refinement and harmonious design. Its polished and satin surfaces play with the light, highlighting the clean lines of the watch. Its slightly domed silver dial combines readability and elegance, with applied indexes, dauphine hands and a carefully arranged full calendar display. The day and month counters are located at 12 o'clock, while the date is indicated by a central needle adorned with a red crescent moon, an emblematic detail of Jaeger-LeCoultre's calendar watches.

Further sublimating this composition, the moon phase at 6 o'clock is integrated into a small second sub-dial. Its deep blue disc, punctuated by a moon and golden stars, brings a touch of poetry and recalls the historical importance of astronomical complications in watchmaking.

At the heart of the watch, the automatic calibre manufacture 866 guarantees reliability and performance. Equipped with a 43-hour power reserve (displayed at 12 o'clock on the dial side), it is finely decorated with Côtes de Genève and pearl, visible through its sapphire background. Thanks to the technical excellence of the Master Control collection, this movement benefits from constant optimisation, ensuring increased efficiency and exceptional durability. Like every model in this collection, the Master Control Calendar has successfully passed the 1000-hour control test, attesting to its robustness and accuracy in all conditions of use.

Dressed in a brown alligator strap and an 18k gold folding buckle, this Master Control Calendar combines comfort and sophistication, adapting to both dressed events and daily wear. A true work of watchmaking art, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Calendar 1000 Hours in rose gold seduces amateurs enlightened by its timeless aesthetics and exceptional engineering, thus perpetuating the Swiss House's heritage of excellence.

This 2010 model is in excellent condition and is accompanied by its complete set.
