Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Thin Blue Line: 3 New Master Ultra Thin Enamel Models
Like its Richemont stablemate Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre added several striking blue-dialed timepieces to its existing collections at SIHH 2019, only to have them largely overshadowed by ultra-complicated talking pieces that grabbed the lion’s share of attention from the watch cognoscenti (in Vacheron’s case, the high-horology headliner in question was the Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar; for JLC, it was the Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetuél). In pursuit of remedying that oversight, we’re flashing back to January’s watch salon in Geneva to delve into these azure-appointed models and give them their due. My colleague Logan R. Baker covered Vacheron’s 2019 releases here; today we take a look at Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Ultra-Thin Enamel models. The collection consists of three pieces featuring three high-end complications. The first, the Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel, pictured below and covered extensively in our pre-SIHH article here, has a 39-mm white-gold case, a blue enamel dial with a hand-turned guilloche finish, and a redesigned moon-phase display with a perfectly round and polished white disk that comes into view in its entirety during the full moon. Its movement is JLC’s self-winding Caliber 925/2, ensconced inside the slender 10.04-mm case. Limited to 100 pieces, it retails for $35,800.
