In the world of horology, Jaeger-LeCoultre stands as a paragon of timeless elegance and innovation. For over a century, this esteemed Swiss watchmaker has consistently produced timepieces that seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. In 2023, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces a stunning new variation of the Master Ultra Thin Moon, a watch that epitomizes the essence of a dress watch, presenting it in pink gold with a mesmerizing gradient midnight blue dial. This harmonious fusion of materials and colors catapults this classic timepiece to new heights of contemporary sophistication.
The Master Ultra Thin Moon is the embodiment of refined watchmaking. Its streamlined design and graceful proportions have made it the quintessential dress watch for those who appreciate understated sophistication. In this latest iteration, Jaeger-LeCoultre has elevated the watch’s classic aesthetic by adorning it with a captivating gradient midnight blue dial.
The dial’s sunray finish creates a mesmerizing play of light, while the deepening gradient blue color adds an element of drama and modernity to the watch. The dial of the Master Ultra Thin Moon is a masterpiece of precision and design. The pink gold case perfectly complements the dial’s color, creating a seamless visual harmony. The hours are marked by long, tapered triangles, which are applied to the dial, adding depth and texture. These triangles echo the shape of the ‘JL’ logo and are beautifully complemented by Dauphine hands and applied golden dots that indicate the minutes.
Adding a touch of celestial allure to the dial is the moon phase display. Its textured finishes, in contrast to the shiny blue of the sunray dial and the mirror-polished moon disc, elevate the watch’s elegance to new heights. The date, elegantly displayed on a ring around the moon-phase aperture, not only adds practicality but also serves as a visual anchor for the main complication.
Perfect Proportions/Mechanical Excellence
The Master Ultra Thin Moon boasts a well-balanced 39mm diameter case with a slim profile of just 9.3mm. The case’s combination of polished and brushed surfaces adds depth and texture, ensuring that it maintains a commanding presence on the wrist. The alligator strap, an exact match for the dial’s mesmerizing blue, adds a touch of luxury and can be easily interchanged, allowing the wearer to tailor the watch to their style.
At the heart of this timepiece beats the new-generation Caliber 925, an automatic movement developed and produced entirely in-house by Jaeger-LeCoultre. This high-performing movement boasts an impressive 70 hours of power reserve, ensuring that the Master Ultra Thin Moon is always ready to accompany you on your journeys. The transparent case-back reveals an 18-karat pink gold oscillating weight and impeccable decoration and finishing, providing a visual treat for watch enthusiasts. The watch features various functions, including hours, minutes, seconds, moon phases, and date. It is finished with a blue alligator strap. It retails for $23,000.
