Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this watch, the Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar, and I’m gonna share how it went. Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey.
First off, I got my hands on this original order piece. It’s the 18K rose gold model with that eggshell dial. Looks pretty sweet, right? The whole Master Ultra Thin line got a refresh this year, 2024, and this Perpetual Calendar is one of them. I heard some people saying JLC doesn’t get enough credit, and honestly, after playing with this watch, I kinda agree.
I was looking for a thin dress watch, you know, something classy from a good brand. I even tried on the Master Ultra Thin Moon Phase at the boutique, but the Master Control Calendar just felt right. It’s got this 40mm case, curved lugs, those sharp Dauphine hands, and applied hour-markers. It’s like they nailed the balance between looking good and being a serious piece of watchmaking. They produced a ton of them, like 100,000 per year.
- Getting the watch was the first step.
- Then I spent some time wearing it, getting a feel for it.
- I compared it to some other watches, like the Moon Phase.
- I also did some digging into JLC’s reputation.
From what I gathered, JLC is up there with the big boys in terms of high-end watches. They make everything from elegant dress watches to tough sporty ones, even some fancy clocks. This Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar is definitely on the elegant side.
So yeah, that’s my experience with the Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. I took my time, tried it out, compared it, and learned a bit about the brand. It’s a solid piece, and I’m pretty happy with it. I think it will remain one of my collection for sure. I also plan to buy more different kinds of watches in the future and share more experiences. I hope this is useful for you guys.
