Master Control
Jaeger-LeCoultre is based in Le Sentier (in Le Chenit), Switzerland. In 1833 Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881) founded a small workshop, which was to become the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. 1844, LeCoultre measured the micron (μ) for the first time; he created the world's most precise measuring instrument, the millionometer (a device capable of measuring to the nearest thousandths of a millimeter). In 1851 at the first Universal Exhibition in London, LeCoultre was awarded a gold medal in recognition of his collective works in the fields of precision and mechanization. In modern times Jaeger-LeCoultre have established a name for themselves as purveyors of some of the highest quality timepieces in the world. Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces are exclusive. | |
Master Control WatchesThe Master Control sets an evocative scene for the play of time: pointer-type date
display, apertures for the day, month, moon phases and power reserve. The Master Control features a large central hand that highlights the date. A complex system of differential gears runs the power-reserve
indication on the Master Control and converts into time units the energy accumulated by
Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 924, a mechanical automatic movement. The lower part of the Master Control dial is adorned with a moon-phase display reflecting the most horological tradition.
