You know what, sometimes the best of SIHH doesn’t have to be brand new. Case in point, this Jaeger-LeCoultre perpetual calendar, which was shown in 2013 for the first time, is back, and back in black. This is the replica watch that set the world on fire by being an integrated perpetual calendar – which,…

With all this hullabaloo around the Reverso and the Deep Sea Alarm, some have overlooked what may very well be the slickest replica watch from SIHH, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moonphase 39mm.  This replica watch is absolutely gorgeous, and for lack of a better term, “pure class”.  This is a power replica watch to…

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s 39mm Master Ultra Thin case (henceforth known at MUT) is one of my absolute favorites. It is the perfect size for me, the perfect size for a dress replica watch, and no matter the complication, it just works. Take, for example, two introductions in this line from the past two years – 2011’s Master…

2013 is Jaeger-LeCoultre’s 180th anniversary, and to celebrate they have presented a “Jubilee” collection.  The most impressive of this trio of replica watches is the Gyrotourbillon Three, which we showed you in great detail in episode three of the Road To Basel.  The second replica watch in this Jubilee set is the cylindrical tourbillon with…

Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrated its 180th anniversary in 2013 as its Jubilee year.

The 39mm platinum case comes in at a razor thin 4.05mm and it houses the in-house calibre 849…

Today we have for you a very early look at the eleventh piece of haute horology in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Hybris Mechanica collection, the Master Ultra Thin Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon. While the last few years Hybris Mechanica has been more focused on very three-dimensional complications (like the Gyrotourbillon 3, for example), this entry into the collection…

Getting a simple three-hander right is an elusive accomplishment. Whether it’s a dive replica watch or formal wear, the little details can make or break everything, and it is in the latter that Jaeger-LeCoultre has excelled with the new Master Ultra Thin Date. Sleek and balanced proportions are made possible thanks to the svelte JLC-manufactured…

Jaeger LeCoultre has just announced one of the thinnest, if not the thinnest, mechanical wristwatches ever made: the Master Ultra Thin Squelette. The replica watches in this family of timepieces are built around the well known ultra thin Jaeger LeCoultre caliber 849, known in this iteration as the 849SQ (squelette, or skeleton) and the movement…
