Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual SQ

Posted 4 years, 1 month ago

Four limited series each reflect four highlights in the history of a heritage stemming from watchmaking expertise built up over 175 years: the Master Minute Repeater, the Master Eight Days Perpetual SQ, the Master Grand Tourbillon and Master Ultra Thin, all in limited editions. They are all crafted in pink gold and proudly bear the founding year of the brand 1833 - either on the dial or engraved on the sapphire crystal.

Skeletonised movement
A decorative work of art for a highly complicated model that takes two full months to craft each movement. Planisphere: decoration and skeletonisation of the movement to illustrate a planisphere represented by the combination of the base-plate, the three-quarter plate, the date bridge, the balance-cock and the power-reserve bridge.

Aesthetic challenge
Ensuring the readability of the perpetual calendar, moon-phase, day/night and power-reserve indications, while preserving the overall transparency was made possible by transparent discs that pivot and provide an immediate reading of the corresponding value by contrast, when they move across a light-coloured sector.

Manufacture-made movement
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 876SQ, the only perpetual calendar with an 8 day power reserve on the watch market: even more exceptional with a skeletonised movement!

Each piece in this edition of 175 bears the number 1833 engraved on the crystal that protects the dial.
