Jaeger-LeCoultre Unveils New Master Ultra Thin Date
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin collection embodies the brand’s commitment to blending technical mastery with timeless aesthetics. The collection has recently been enriched by the addition of the Master Ultra Thin Date model in steel, featuring a sunray dial in a striking new blue-grey hue. Drawing inspiration from the Maison's long-standing tradition of crafting ultra-thin watches since the early 1900s, the Master Ultra Thin series is designed to be the definitive dress watch for the modern era. Its sleek lines, polished surfaces, and elegantly curved lugs create a design that is both sophisticated and understated, while the thin calibres reflect almost two centuries of mechanical excellence and innovation.
At the heart of the Master Ultra Thin Date is the Calibre 899, visible through its transparent sapphire case-back. This in-house movement showcases meticulous decorative finishes such as Côtes de Genève, bevelling, and blue screws, all of which highlight the craftsmanship that goes into each timepiece. Developed, manufactured, and assembled entirely at Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Manufacture in Le Sentier, the calibre is designed for high reliability and offers a 38-hour power reserve. Like all models from the brand, this watch has passed the rigorous 1000 Hours Control testing, which ensures performance far beyond the official standards of chronometry.
The newly designed blue-grey sunray dial of the Master Ultra Thin Date brings a modern and refined aesthetic to the steel case. The dial’s symmetrical layout is anchored by a date display at 6 o’clock, ensuring both balance and legibility. The elongated trapezoid indexes and Dauphine hands, with their mix of satin-brushed and polished finishes, create a subtle play of light that adds visual intrigue from every angle.
Completing the Master Ultra Thin Date is a black alligator strap with a folding buckle, which can be easily interchanged to suit the wearer’s preference. This added versatility, combined with the watch’s slim and elegant design, makes it a sophisticated choice for those who value both style and functionality in a modern timepiece.
