Okay, so let’s talk about this Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar, original order, that I have been messing around with. I’ve always been a fan of watches, but I’m no expert, you know? I just like what I like, and this one caught my eye.
First off, I went ahead and did some digging around about the brand itself, Jaeger-LeCoultre. I mean, who are these guys, right? Turns out, they are pretty big. They are making like 100,000 watches every year! And we’re not just talking about your average time-tellers; they’ve got super elegant dress watches, tough ones that can take a beating, and even some fancy clocks.
Unboxing
I finally got my hands on it, and the unboxing was something else. You can tell they put some thought into this. I mean, it’s just a watch, but the way they presented it made me feel like I was getting something special.
The case is really what drew me in. It’s a nice size, 39 mm across and just 9.2 mm thick. Not too bulky, not too small. And the lugs, those things that connect the strap to the watch, they’re kind of long and elegant. The whole thing is polished, so it really shines when the light hits it.
Details of this timepiece
Now, about the watch itself. I chose the one with a silver-gray dial, which I felt quite good at the time. The hands and the hour markers, they’re all shiny and polished, just like the case. It’s a clean look, very classic. And this being a “perpetual calendar,” it’s got all those extra dials for the day, date, month, and year.
- Day of the week: This is at the 9 o’clock position.
- Date: This is at the 3 o’clock position.
- Month and year: These are combined in a dial at the 12 o’clock position.
- Moon phase: This is at the 6 o’clock position, and it’s a nice touch. It shows you what the moon looks like in the sky.
The strap is a plain black leather one, which is fine by me. It’s comfortable, and it doesn’t take away from the watch itself. It’s all about the watch face here, and I’m good with that. I started wearing it around, you know, just in my daily life. To work, to the grocery store, wherever. And I gotta say, it felt good on my wrist. It’s light, it’s comfortable, and it looks pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with this Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. It’s a mouthful to say, but it’s a pleasure to wear. I’m no watch expert, but I know what I like, and I like this one a lot. It was definitely a nice thing to get as a gift, and it’s something I see myself wearing for a long time.
