Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilee Q1296520 / 120.6.79

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilee Q1296520 Limited Edition Platinum

First debuting in 1992, the Jaeger LeCoultre Master is a vintage-inspired collection rooted to the 1950s aesthetic of old with elegant dials, refined constructions and brilliantly executed movements – all benchmarks of JLC’s talents as a watchmaker. Offered here, we have the Master Ultra-Thin ref. 120.6.79, a limited edition reference of just 888 pieces launched in 2013 that celebrated the 180th anniversary of JLC’s founding in 1833. Boasting a stunning, yet simple, silver dial and a platinum case that comes in at a perfectly wearable, and rather modern, 39mm diameter, this timepiece has everything one would want from JLC, the “watchmaker’s watchmaker.” Boasting sharp dauphine hands along with thin painted black stick indices, the ref. 120.6.79’s display is reserved, restrained and entirely traditional, as per its mid-century dress watch inspiration. Sporting a flat bezel, gently curving lugs, and just a single crown, the Master Ultra-This is a wonderfully wearable watch that speaks to the collection’s original source of inspiration, the 1950s and JLC’s important contribution to watchmaking while also celebrating JLC’s impressive craftsmanship through its manual-wind cal. 849 movement that is on display behind an exhibition caseback.
