Alright, let’s talk about that Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar watch. I’ve been messing around with it lately, trying to get a good feel for it, you know? So, I started by looking up a bunch of stuff about it online. There’s a lot of chatter about where to buy and sell these things, especially on that Chrono24 site. I was just curious about the prices, not really planning on buying one right now.
I dug deeper into what makes this watch tick. It’s called the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar, pretty fancy name, right? It turns out that the big deal about this watch is something called the Calibre 868, which is the complicated stuff inside that makes everything work. It is all designed and made by Jaeger-LeCoultre, which apparently is a pretty big flex in the watch world.
I also looked at how much these things cost. There’s a version with a stainless steel case, and it comes in two sizes, 36mm and 39mm. The prices for these were on the Jaeger-LeCoultre website, and they weren’t as high as some of their other models. This got me thinking, maybe these are the more “affordable” ones, if you can even call them that. These watches have this moon phase thing at the top, and it also shows the date, day, month, and year. That’s a lot going on for such a small watch!
After seeing all that, I decided to try one on. I just wanted to see how it felt on my wrist. It’s pretty slim, only 9.2mm thick, which is nice. The case is all shiny and polished, and it comes in different colors. I liked the midnight blue one, but the classic beige one was also pretty cool. They say it looks good with the light, but I didn’t really notice anything special. It was just a good-looking watch.
Here’s what I did next:
-
Tried Setting It Up
-
Wore It Around
-
Checked the Accuracy
Since it’s a perpetual calendar, I figured I should try setting it up. It wasn’t as hard as I thought. You just use the little pushers on the side to adjust the date, day, month, and year. There was also a little tool that came with it to help with that.
I wore it for a few days just to see how it felt. It was comfortable, and I liked how thin it was. It didn’t feel bulky or heavy on my wrist. I also got a few compliments on it, which was nice.
I wanted to see how accurate the perpetual calendar was. I set it to the correct date and time, and then I just waited. After a few days, it was still showing the right date, which was pretty impressive.
So, after all that, I think I get why people like this watch. It’s a pretty cool piece of engineering, and it looks good too. It’s not something I’d wear every day, but it’s definitely a nice watch to have. It’s also apparently a good investment, which is a plus. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy one, but it was fun to try it out and learn more about it.
