Today I’m gonna talk about getting my hands on this Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar, the original order version. You know, I’ve always been a watch guy, and Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of those brands that just screams class and quality. They say a man who wears a Jaeger-LeCoultre is someone who really appreciates the fine details, the technical stuff, and the history behind a timepiece. And I totally agree.
So, I finally decided to go for it. I did some digging, as I was trying to get a good deal. I didn’t look at any official retailers as I know their prices were always very high. There are also many people on the forums trying to sell their pre-owned watches, but I’m not going to take any risk. Eventually, I found a guy selling this very model, the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar, claiming that his watches were from the original order. The price was decent. It wasn’t cheap, but it was way less than what you’d see in a fancy boutique.
We met up, and I checked out the watch. Man, it was a beauty. It’s got this clean, classic look, but when you look closer, you see all these intricate details. The size is perfect, 39mm across, and it’s super slim, just 9.4mm thick. It sits on the wrist so comfortably, it’s about 45.7mm from one end of the lug to the other. It was a very good fit for my wrist.
I pulled the trigger and bought it. After wearing it for a few weeks, I can say it’s everything I hoped for. It keeps time like a dream, and it’s got that perpetual calendar function, which is just mind-blowing when you think about the mechanics involved. It can even tell the correct date taking into account of those leap years! How cool is that!
- First off, the look. It’s just beautiful. Simple, elegant, but with a ton of detail when you get up close.
- The size and feel. Perfect dimensions, super comfortable on the wrist. It fits perfectly on my wrist.
- The movement. Smooth, accurate, and that perpetual calendar is a work of art.
Honestly, this watch has made me appreciate Jaeger-LeCoultre even more. They’ve been around forever, and they still make some of the best watches out there. This Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar is a testament to their craftsmanship. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of history and a feat of engineering on my wrist.
If you’re thinking about getting a high-end watch, definitely give Jaeger-LeCoultre a look. And if you can find a good deal on an original order like I did, even better. It’s an investment, for sure, but it’s one you won’t regret. At least, I know I don’t.
Final Thoughts
This whole experience has been awesome. From hunting down the watch to finally owning it and wearing it every day, it’s been a real pleasure. This Jaeger-LeCoultre isn’t just a time-telling device; it’s a statement, a piece of art, and a little bit of luxury that I get to enjoy every single day.
