Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Date 40mm Q4018480

The Master Control Collection sees time in a new light. The new Master Control Date timepiece asserts its beautiful presence. Adorned in two shades of deep blue, its sunray-brushed dial reveals its functions with perfect legibility: the details of the minute track, hours and hour-markers with their assertive silhouette, as well as the date which appears in a tone-on-tone aperture situated at 3 o'clock. The navy-blue center of the dial and the lighter blue minute track echo the calfskin strap, finished in the same color. Beneath the sapphire crystal case-back, onlookers can admire the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899 designed, produced and assembled under the same roof at the Manufacture. Benefiting from the Maison's latest innovations, this movement promises an increased power reserve of 70 hours. Created as an edition limited to 800 timepieces, this watch enjoys a resolutely contemporary allure.

History of Jaeger-LeCoultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre, founded in 1833 in Switzerland's Vallée de Joux, began as a small workshop established by Antoine LeCoultre. Driven by innovation and precision, LeCoultre's company quickly gained recognition for its high-quality timepieces and movement production. In 1903, a partnership with Parisian businessman Edmond Jaeger led to the formation of Jaeger-LeCoultre, combining Swiss watchmaking expertise with French elegance.

Throughout the 20th century, Jaeger-LeCoultre solidified its position as a leader in watchmaking innovation. The company's milestones include the creation of the world's thinnest pocket watch (1925), the self-winding Atmos clock (1928), the iconic Reverso watch (1931), and the Master Memovox alarm wristwatch (1950). Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to operate as a true "Manufacture," designing and producing its timepieces entirely in-house, while maintaining its legacy of innovation and exceptional craftsmanship.
