SIHH 2015: Introducing the New Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar with Meteorite Dial. Live Pics and Pricing.

Our favorite Master Calendar to date was just released by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar ref. 1558421 automatic watch presents the different information of its calendar in a harmonious and extremely clear manner: day, month, date and moon phases. Its design is inspired by the historical watch with calendar by Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1945. Fitted this time with a striking beautiful meteorite dial, every piece comes with a very unique look due to the material used in its creation. Fitted with a stainless steel or rose gold case measuring 39 mm in diameter, this elegant timepiece is one that will for sure conquer your pocket. Faithful to the aesthetic codes of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control line of watches, this model combines a pure, refined design with exceptional technical performances, all in gently reduced proportions, allowing it to suit all wrists. The watch is fitted with a black alligator strap with folding buckle that is very comfortable.

Its meteorite dial behaves like a chameleon in the very best of form. Moving the watch at different angles allows for different hues of gray to pop and mesmerize its wearer. Rounded out by a functional day and month display at 12, peripheral date indicator and moon phase with superimposed running seconds, the elegance of this watch is unparalleled.

The sapphire case back of the timepiece allows the automatic in-house calibre 866 to be fully visible. This calibre is composed of 305 parts, 32 jewels and which provides a power reserve of 40 hours when fully wound. With its traditional finishes, the movement is a real treat for the eyes.

On the wrist, this watch wears true to its size and quite elegantly. If you are looking for a complete calendar with an in-house movement, look no further. Jaeger-LeCoultre is a brand that will always give the best bang for your buck.

Sticker Price $12,400 USD. For more info on Jaeger-LeCoultre click here.
