Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moonphase White

While the revival wave of integrated sports watches has been prominent in the last two decades, the iconic status of a classic and timeless dress watch has deeply rooted within most collectors’ drawers. Although a significant portion of wristwatches in the 20th Century development are based on rectangular proportions, not many have left behind an iconic legacy as Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso and Ultra Thin dress watches.

Both seemingly simplistic and discreet, the piece embodies a radiant royal blue with emphasized power-reserve, date and small seconds all within the same proportion and hierarchy. Certainly not a usual variant of JLC’s offering but it has combined both the vintage arrow hands and indices from the Memovox era with a strong modern aesthetics in any setting.

Although hard to find a similar wristwatch to compare due to its absolute minimum thickness and domed sapphire crystal profile, we felt that this piece is a marriage between Piaget Altiplano and the Patek Philippe Calatrava within the best affordability, priced at almost 40% off RRP.
