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.

This is because the designs they take their inspiration from shapes and patterns found not only in nature, but other objects designed to interact with nature such as simple aerodynamics of a sports car or a surfboard. Ikepod combines the technology of watch making with sensuality in design to manufacture wristwatches which challenge connoisseurs to embrace not only a timepiece but a bold new set of values. Foremost amongst these values is the independence from the conventions of traditional watch making design. With belief in the modernist principals of “truth to materials” and unity of form and function, Ikepod rejects gratuitous ornamentation in order to highlight the simplicity of form.

Marina
Militaire – Hand Wound Wristwatch in Titanium
|
Brand new and unused Marina Militaire hand wound wristwatch in titanium. The watch has not been used before, but comes without any boxes or papers. This type of watch is politely termed a homage since it looks identical to famous brand – namely Panerai. Calling it a replica is not quite correct as the watch doesn’t not have the word Panerai anywhere on it. The Marina Militaires are popular watches and make a large number of homage watches. The cost is a fraction of the t real thing. The case specs and dimension is identical to a Panerai, so it is generously proportioned, dimensions listed below. The case is brushed titanium, with crown lock. It has a glass display back showing off the movement. The movement is a nice looking Chinese made 27 jewel movement which I believe is a Seagull movement, it is similar looking to a Unitas 6498. The dial is a mat black dial with luminous dial markings and hands. Subsidiary second hand at the 9 position. The crystal is hardened mineral glass with anti reflective coating. It comes on a brown leather strap, with titanium buckle. All together an excellent watch and great value for money. Dimensions are as follows.
