Jaeger-LeCoultre, a name synonymous with watchmaking excellence, has long been at the forefront of horological innovation. In 2024, they’ve continued this tradition with an impressive expansion of their Master Control collection, including a new Chronograph Calendar model featuring a stunning blue dial.
Measuring a well-balanced 40mm x 12.05mm, this stainless steel case has a smooth, polished bezel and broad pushers that complement the watch’s modern design. The combination of polished and brushed finishes on the case enhances its visual appeal, catching the light beautifully.
The blue sunray-brushed dial shines with depth and light, featuring polished rhodium-finished numerals and hour markers. The sky blue minute track and pulsometer scale encircle the central disc, alongside day/month windows, 30-minute chronograph counter, date/moon phase indicators, and small seconds subdial, all artfully arranged.
Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 759 movement is visible through the exhibition caseback, featuring a 65-hour power reserve, 28,800vph (4 Hz) frequency, and a rose gold rotor with Côtes de Genève finishing. The skeletonized rotor reduces weight and offers a fascinating glimpse into the movement’s intricate mechanics.
A luxurious blue leather strap with a folding buckle completes the watch. The Master Control Chronograph Calendar in blue costs US$ 18,000 on a strap or US$ 19,100 on a bracelet.
