Jaeger Le Coultre are one of the few elite Swiss watchmakers who manufacture their own movements in house. They are a company was established in 1833 in the Vallee de Joux watch making region of Switzerland. They are highly regarded for their quality timepieces, technical innovation, and one of the most stringent and fanatical testing centres in Switzerland. Jaeger-LeCoultre have been instrumental in the development of wrist alarms, and they developed the first automatic wrist alarm 1958. Jaeger-LeCoultre were also instrumental in developing this complication and it is a function which is popular and widely used in wristwatches today. This is a beautifully engineered and crafted wristwatch which has got one of the finest calendar movements in it. With Master control, watch making pioneer, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a new standard of reliability in Swiss watch making. Each watch is therefore subjected to a rigorous testing programme. Before being passed as a Master Control watch, each timepiece must undergo 1,000 hours of the most severe tests. This testing programme is more demanding than the official tests which only involve the watch movement. At Jaeger-LeCoultre it is the finished cased up watch, complete with hands and dial that is evaluated. The Master Control watch has spent 1,000 hours under observation in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s laboratories and has passed all the six position performance trials under temperatures between 4 and 40 degrees Celsius and within magnetic fields of 5,000 amperes/metre. The timepiece has also been subjected to shock and vibration resistance tests and the case withstood water resistance to a pressure of 5 atmospheres. Successful results in all of these tests give the watch the exclusive right to bear the title of “Master Control 1000 Hours”, certified by the signature of the watchmaker – inspector inside the case, and by the numbered seal engraved on the back of the watch. It is a perpetual calendar which means that there is no need for a date correction at the end of each month apart from leap years as the watch know when a month ends on the 30th or 31st days. It also has day, date, month, year and moon phase display. Another clever feature is the window just above the centre of the dial. It alternates between red and white. When showing red, the hands cannot be moved backwards when adjusting the time. When shown white the hands can be moved backwards to adjust the time. The case is solid 18 karat gold with a sapphire crystal front and sapphire crystal back which displays the beautifully decorated movement. It is 5 ATM water resistant. It comes with the original mint condition brown alligator strap with a spare original Jaeger-LeCoultre black alligator strap which is unused.
