Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande 151.2.67.S

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater Q1642450 18k RG

First debuting in 1992, the Jaeger LeCoultre Master collection is a vintage-inspired family of timepieces rooted to the 1950s aesthetic of old with elegant dials, refined constructions and brilliantly executed movements – all benchmarks of JLC’s talents as a watchmaker. However, in 2008 JLC decided to expand upon the Master collection and release the Master Grande Tradition À Répétition Minutes that we have here as a limited edition collection of 175 pieces to celebrate the brand’s 175th anniversary. Breaking from the collection’s traditionalist construction style, the result watch is a pure expression of modern watchmaking, with a skeletonized dial that provides a wonderful top-down view of its anthracite-finished manual-wind cal. 947 movement. With a 15-day power reserve – as shown by its retrograde indicator at 8 o’clock which is mirrored by a retrograde torque indicator at 4 o’clock, the timepiece’s display showcases JLC’s impressive control of modern watchmaking aesthetics, even if they are famed for more classical designs, as the Master collection typically demonstrates. Brand : Jaeger LeCoultre Dimensions : 44mm x 15.8mm Model : Master Grande Tradition À Répétition Minutes Movement : Manual-wind cal. 947 Reference : 151.2.67S Bracelet : Leather strap Year : Circa 2010 Condition : Near mint Material : 18kt rose gold Included : Box and Papers, October 2024 Service Receipt Dial Color : Anthracite THE DIAL Boasting a skeletonized dial with an anthracite backdrop thanks to the myriad of bridges, levers, and plates that make up its movement, the Master Grande Tradition À Répétition Minutes' dial is an astounding display of horological merriment. Featuring 18kt pink gold accents, this is a wonderful example of JLC's craftsmanship. THE CONSTRUCTION Made of 18kt rose gold and measuring 44mm in diameter, the Master Grande Tradition À Répétition Minutes is a big watch with bulky lugs and minute repeater slider at 9 o'clock adding more heft to its case. However, with all of what it has going on inside, it is still an impressive feat.
