Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar watch for a while now. I finally decided to go for it and ordered one. Let me tell you, it was quite the experience.
First off, I did some serious browsing online, checking out different versions of this beauty. I was really digging the ones with the midnight blue and silver dials, but that classic eggshell beige was also calling my name. This thing is a perfect size, 39 mm in diameter and only 9.2 mm thick. It’s got these long lugs that give it a real elegant look. Plus, the way the light hits that polished case and bezel, man, it’s something else!
I placed my order and the waiting began. I learned that the Master Control collection was launched in 1992 as a tribute to the Jaeger-LeCoultre’s heritage in watchmaking. Also, this watch is inspired by the 1950’s styles, which is a golden era for watchmaking!
Finally, the day arrived! I ripped open that package like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, in all its glory. This watch is seriously a piece of art. I went with the stainless steel version, the color is really deep and rich. The dial is super clean and easy to read, and all those little details, like the day, date, and month indicators, they’re just perfect.
- Unboxing: Seriously, the most exciting part. Like unwrapping a treasure.
- First Impressions: Totally blown away. The pictures online don’t do it justice.
- Wearing it: Feels amazing on the wrist. Light, comfortable, but still substantial.
- Showing it off: Yeah, I’ve been doing a lot of that. Everyone who sees it is impressed.
It’s a classic dress watch, for sure. Might not be the best for everyday wear if you’re doing anything rough and tumble, but for special occasions, or just when you want to feel a bit fancy, it’s perfect.
So, that’s my story of getting my hands on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. It was a bit of a splurge, but honestly, I have zero regrets. This is a watch I’ll be cherishing for years to come.
I totally recommend the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar to anyone who can afford one, especially the stainless steel model!
