Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar, Triple Calendar, Moon-phase

July 08, 2023

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar in pink gold with a black dial is a testament to the brand's dedication to watchmaking excellence. The collection derives its name from Jaeger-LeCoultre's 1,000-Hour Control Certification, a rigorous testing protocol. This standard is now followed for all Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces. Inspired by the Maison's iconic round watches from the 1950s and '60s, such as the Memovox and Futurematic, the Master Control collection embodies harmonious proportions and refined design.

The new Master Control Chronograph Calendar in pink gold pays homage to mid-20th-century timepieces with its black dial, capturing their vintage charm in a modern and confident style. The 40mm x 12.05mm case crafted from 18K pink gold features an outwardly sloping bezel and elegantly curved lugs, exuding relaxed and understated elegance. Complementing the pink gold case, a black alligator leather strap enhances the watch's classic and sophisticated aesthetic.

The dial of the watch is encircled by a red pulsometer scale. This scale adds a touch of nostalgia and remains relevant to modern lifestyles. The dial layout is timeless and intuitive, showcasing two complications - a complete calendar and a bi-compax chronograph. The dial's design ensures easy readability. The sub-dials feature a finely textured ‘Azurage' finish, while the moon-phase indicator boasts a rich blue hue, providing subtle contrast against the vibrant black sunray-brushed dial. The dial captures and reflects light with the wearer's wrist movements.

Powering the Master Control Chronograph Calendar is the automatic Calibre 759, showcasing Jaeger-LeCoultre's technical sophistication and mechanical elegance. This integrated chronograph movement offers a 65-hour power reserve and incorporates a column-wheel chronograph mechanism with a vertical clutch, along with a triple calendar and moon-phase display.
