Okay, so I’ve been eyeing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar for a while now. You know, the one they have at the official flagship store? Man, that thing is a beauty. It’s a bit of a splurge, but I figured, why not treat myself? So, I finally decided to go for it.
First, I did a bit of digging online. Just wanted to see what people were saying about it, you know, get a feel for it. Some folks online were talking about how it’s like “money in the bank,” saying these watches hold their value. I’m not really sure what I will do with it, but hey, it’s good to know.
I also saw some comments about the Ultra Thin Moon model. Apparently, it’s a classic. Someone even narrowed their choice down to that and the Master Calendar. They liked the “sub seconds paired with the moon phase.” Sounds fancy, right?
Then I stumbled upon the price. $47,414? That’s the price I found somewhere. Gulp. That’s a hefty price tag. But, it’s a Jaeger-LeCoultre, one of the only manufactures that “creates, develops, decorates and produces all timepieces within its own workshops.” That’s pretty cool when I think about it.
I read somewhere that introducing a new dial color for such an iconic piece takes courage. Makes sense, I guess. And someone said they liked the clean layout of this JLC, without the “unnecessary and unintuitive clutter” you might find on similar models from other brands. I mean if I am going to pay that much money, I want it to be perfect.
Then came the big day. I went to the official flagship store, and there it was. The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar, in all its glory. It looked even better in person. I tried it on, and it felt… amazing. The craftsmanship, the details, everything was just top-notch.
After a bit of back and forth, I finally pulled the trigger. I bought it. It was a big decision, but I don’t regret it one bit. This watch is more than just a timepiece; it’s a work of art, and I’m so happy to get it finally.
Here are some things I learned along the way:
- These watches are said to hold their value well, which is a plus.
- The Ultra Thin Moon is also a popular choice and considered a classic.
- The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar has a clean layout, which many people appreciate.
- Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the only manufactures that does everything in-house, which is impressive.
So, that’s my story of getting the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. It was quite the journey, but totally worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. You won’t be disappointed.
