Okay, so, here’s the deal with my recent project – trying to make a fake Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique, the kind you’d see in fancy stores. I’ve always been a bit of a watch nerd, and this seemed like a fun challenge.

Getting Started

First off, I started digging around to see what others have done. I found some chatter about a “New APSF JLC Master Ultra Thin” and a “JLC Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon.” I found them on some forum and saw that their prices seem to be around AU$ 10. These posts gave me a general idea of what I was getting into, but they were not related to the Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique.

Planning and Research

I spent a good chunk of time just looking at pictures and videos of the real watch. The official Jaeger-LeCoultre website had some good stuff, talking about the “complexity of craftsmanship” and all that fancy talk. Reading the text on the official website, which introduced “From the complexity of craftsmanship to the beauty of fine watchmaking”, I thought I could try to do it. I also saw that someone said 2024 was a big year for Jaeger-LeCoultre, with a “diverse range of releases,” so I figured maybe I could learn something from those too, someone also said “This is my personal favorite of the year”.

Collecting Parts

This was probably the trickiest part. I needed to find parts that looked right but didn’t cost a fortune. I scoured online marketplaces, hit up some watch forums, and even checked out some local hobby shops. I managed to find some decent-looking hands, a case that was kind of similar, and a movement that was way simpler than the real deal but had a similar vibe.

Putting It Together

Now, I’m no master watchmaker, so this was a real learning experience. I bought some basic tools and just started tinkering. I carefully assembled the watch, piece by piece. Let me tell you, those tiny screws are a real pain! There were definitely a few moments where I almost threw the whole thing across the room, but I kept at it.

The Final Product

After a lot of trial and error, I finally got something that resembled the Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique. It’s definitely not perfect, and any watch expert would spot it as a fake in a second. But, it was a fun project, and I learned a ton about watches in the process. It’s not the real deal, but it’s my little creation, and I’m pretty proud of it.

  • Would I do it again? Maybe, maybe not.
  • Was it worth it? For the experience, absolutely.
  • Do I wear it? Nah, it’s more of a showpiece for my desk.

Anyway, that’s my story. Hope you found it interesting!
