SIHH Jaeger-LeCoultre 2019 Timepiece Releases

Day three of the SIHH Festival in Geneva, Switzerland is upon us and we’re back to recap the exquisite releases from Jaeger-LeCoultre. Since 1833, JLC has been renewing their creativity and inventiveness to breathe life into the heart of their luxury timepieces. King Jewelers is a proud authorized retailer of this enthralling brand and eager to introduce four of their new releases from SIHH. Three of the four are a part of the Master Ultra Thin range and the last one is on a playing field all on its own.

Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel

The first watch we want to present is the Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel. This limited edition timepiece highlights a blue guilloche enamel dial with a plethora of texture. Featuring caliber 978F, we admire the advances taken to improve this movement technically, as well as aesthetically. The backing of this reborn caliber radiates sunray details coming from the tourbillon cage. Not to mention, this timepiece has ten more hours of power reserve than the previous 978 models. A 40mm dial showcases a date subdial at twelve o’clock and a full-rotor automatic tourbillon cage at six o’clock. On an alligator leather strap, an exhibition case back provides you with an up-close look at the movement design.

Special Features:

Case: White gold
Thickness: 12.13 mm
Dial: 40 mm
Movement: Automatic self-winding
Caliber: 978F
Water Resistance: 5 bars
Vibrations: 28,800 vph
Jewels: 35

Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel

Next, we present the Limited Edition Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel powered by a renewed version of the JLC 868A/2. Comparatively, the previous version of this model comes with the 868/1 movement, in which the indicators are shifted 180 degrees. Furthermore, the improved Perpetual Enamel reveals the moon phase at six o’clock, the date at nine o’clock, the month at twelve o’clock and the day at three o’clock. Additionally, there is a small window seen in the middle of the month indicator that displays the year. Above all, the blue guilloche enamel dial bestows the background with dimensional elegance white the indexes and hands are sleek and contemporary.

Special Features:

Case: White gold
Thickness: 10.44 mm
Dial: 39 mm
Movement: Automatic self-winding
Caliber: 868A/2
Water Resistance: 5 bars

Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel

The last of the new Master Ultra Thin timepieces leads us to the Moon Enamel edition. Encased in high-polished white gold, the blue guilloche dial features handcrafted textured lines. At six o’clock we discover the moon phase indicator that displays the celestial positioning in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Utilizing caliber 925/2, this timepiece has a longer power reserve using just one barrel. With that being said, this watch also maintains a standard frequency of 28,800 vph. Moreover, limited to just 100 models, this watch is available on a blue alligator leather strap. In brief, this could be the perfect addition to your work-week ensembles, changing to something sportier on the weekends.

Special Features:

Case: White gold
Thickness: 10.04 mm
Dial: 39 mm
Movement: Automatic self-winding
Caliber: 925/2
Water Resistance: 5 bars

Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetuel

Now, for the grand finale, we present the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetuel. Reinventing the art of multi-axis tourbillons, this enthralling timepiece introduces a much smaller tourbillon compared to earlier models. To illustrate, the time is displayed at twelve o’clock framed by the date indicator. On the contrary, the rest of the face reveals the inner workings of the movements and complications. The typical guidelines explain that reducing the size of a mechanism opens a significantly larger margin for error. JLC has defied the odds of successful miniaturization efforts, making this timepiece extremely valuable. Correspondingly, this watch radiates a truly wearable aesthetic, blending seamlessly with its high-complication functionality.

Special Features:

Case: White gold
Thickness: 14 mm
Dial: 43 mm
Movement: Manual-winding
Caliber: 184
Water Resistance: 5 bars
Vibrations: 28,800 vph
Jewels: 137
