Okay, so today, I tried to do something, I messed around with a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, specifically the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. I wanted to see what makes this thing tick, literally.
First, I got my hands on this watch. It’s not huge, just 39mm across, and it’s pretty slim at 9.4mm thick. It felt good, not too heavy or bulky. From one end of the strap holder to the other, it was 45.7mm, which is a decent size for my wrist, I guess.
Then, I started to play around with the different features. This watch does a lot, it shows the hours, minutes, and seconds, of course. But then it also has the day, date, month, and even the year. Plus, there’s this perpetual calendar thing and a moon phase display. It’s pretty wild how much they packed into this thing. The moon phase looks really cool, it’s like having a tiny piece of the sky on your wrist.
I spent a good chunk of time just figuring out how to set everything. It wasn’t super straightforward, but I got it eventually. This is not your average watch, for sure. You can tell a lot of thought went into designing it.
- It’s really thin. I mean, for everything it does, it’s surprisingly slim.
- It’s got that classic look. It’s not flashy or anything, just really elegant.
- The details are crazy. You can tell they didn’t cut any corners making this.
Here’s what I really like about it:
I also noticed that it seems to be inspired by some old-school pocket watch from way back in 1907. They call it ultra-thin too, and I get why. It’s kind of mesmerizing to look at, honestly. They did a good job making it look super classy and elegant.
After playing with it for a while, I can see why someone would be into this watch. It’s not just about telling time, it’s more like a piece of art or something. And yeah, it’s definitely not the kind of watch you’d wear every day, maybe just for special occasions or something.
So, that was my day messing around with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot. It’s definitely a cool piece of engineering, and I can appreciate the work that went into it. If you are interested in this kind of stuff, you should definitely try it sometime!
