NEW JAEGER-LECOULTRE MASTER CONTROL Q16124SQ

Additional information

Jaeger-LeCoultre pioneered the world s first Perpetual Calendar with an eight-day power reserve and an exclusive, fully skeletonized movement. Each component is carefully conceived, skeletonized and decorated before being assembled into a work of art of the highest craftsmanship that reveals the full extent of horological beauty. The clarity of the skeletonized movement is unobstructed, despite the fact that the watch is equipped with a perpetual calendar, a power reserve and a day/night indicator. To create this heirloom, Jaeger-LeCoultre s engineers, designers and craftsmen gathered in the Manufacture and vowed to make it one of the most beautiful and iconic timepieces in the history of watchmaking. The planisphere: an ingenious decorative motif that makes skeletonizing difficult The first task of a Jaeger-LeCoultre master watchmaker is to come up with a decorative motif. Not only did they have to decorate and skeletonize the movement, but they also had to reflect the timeless nature of the Master Eight Days SQ, so they opted for a planisphere. The craftsmen also unanimously decided to use the balance wheel. The poles of the watch, which are the poles of an imaginary celestial body, are intersected by horizontal lines that resemble lines of longitude and latitude. In order to emphasize the exceptional qualities of this movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre used a very sophisticated technique: a flat spherical shape was first created in metal-bonded form and then engraved with an elegant sunburst pattern. In addition to this, the slow work of the skeletonized movement creates an instantly recognizable layer between the upper spherical plywood bridge and the lower spherical mainplate and balance wheel, like a new continent waiting to be explored. The result is a skeleton watch that successfully combines a subtle exterior with a comprehensive and complex interior, and is a true expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre s watchmaking style. A masterpiece worthy of your collection To allow you to see the skeletonized movement in all its splendor, the sapphire crystal and caseback are treated with anti-reflective coating.
