Rénier adds that the new Master Control is an aesthetic and technical redesign of the classic featuring the iconic “1,000-hour control” and an enhanced calibre reaching 70 hours power reserve. There is also a new complication, the Master Control Chronograph Calendar encasing a chronograph and a calendar function.
SINGAPORE (June 26): In January this year, Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Catherine Rénier arrived in Singapore for a quick stopover to chat with the media about this year’s installation of Watches & Wonders in April, an annual watch fair, in Geneva. As we know, the event was later cancelled when Covid-19 swooped in and kept everyone indoors.
Nevertheless, Jaeger-LeCoultre, the fine watchmaking maison since 1833, celebrates the theme of Sound Maker with the launch of the Master Control Collection and the Master Grande Tradition 945. There will be more watches launched as the year progresses and this is only an introduction to “chapter one of the novelties at Watches & Wonders, with the unveiling of the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication (cal. 945) highlighting the expertise of JaegerLeCoultre with its minute repeater, flying orbital tourbillon as well as a sky chart”, says the company.
