Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control 1833 Ultra Thin watch

Commemorating its 175th anniversary, the Swiss Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a series of limited edition Master Control 1833 watches. Consisting of truly marvelous Master Minute Repeater, Eight Days Perpetual SQ, Grand Turbillon and Ultra Thin, the series easily demonstrates the JLC’s excellence in all specialties of haute horlogerie.

With cases made of rose gold, all four timepieces look absolutely stunning and deserve their share of attention. Nevertheless, I was particularly interested in the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control 1833 Ultra Thin watch.

Featuring a 38mm in diameter and 3.31mm thick 18K rose gold case and laconic chocolate brown dial with gold cabochon minute track and dauphine hands, this time keeper by no means less complicated than the Grand Turbillon model.

For example, its Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 849 manual wind movement is made up of 123 pieces somehow fitted in a tiny space of just 1.85 millimeters. And all this beauty is completely hand-made!

Alas, this top class Ultra Thin is limited to only 575 pieces.
