Today, 55 years later, the Patrouille Suisse squadron dazzles audiences with aerial displays in the skies above Switzerland and other European countries with precision performances in six supersonic jets. Breitling has created a new watch to honor these high-flying Swiss ambassadors: the Avenger Swiss Air Force Team Limited Edition.

Jaeger-LeCoultre – MASTER Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel Edition

Jaeger-LeCoultre – MASTER Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel White Gold 39 Limited Edition  2019

JAEGER-LECOULTRE REVEALS THREE NEW
MASTER ULTRA THIN ENAMEL

The remarkable Master Ultra Thin line enriches its collection with three new models featuring complications among the most emblematic of watchmaking expertise – moon phases, tourbillon, date, and perpetual calendar. A testament to precision and sophistication, these three new limited editions in white gold and midnight blue enamel complement the Master collection.

MASTER ULTRA THIN PERPETUAL ENAMEL

With its four internal apertures that are the embodiment of watchmaking complications and a blue enamel guilloché motif, the new Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel asserts itself from the very first gaze.

This ultra-thin piece has seen a reimagining of its famous Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 868, one of the most emblematic of the Grande Maison. Both inside and outside its case, this new interpretation has all the hallmarks of exclusivity, as can be seen by the number of pieces produced: only 100 for this limited edition.

A new perpetual calendar

The new and original display of its perpetual calendar (day at 3 o’clock, date at 9 o’clock, month and year at 12 o’clock) simultaneously indicates the moon in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. In a starry sky that has been delicately polished, the moon phase is housed in a disk at 6 o’clock.

Enhanced by a new design, including an engraved counter that immediately attracts the eyes, it sets itself in motion thanks to its different phases, waxing or waning. A perfect example of the mastery of Rare Handcrafts (“Métiers Rares®”), this symbolic complication provides the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel with an aura that connoisseurs are sure to appreciate.

Specially developed hour-markers for this limited edition

Just like the two limited editions from the same family, the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel watch sets itself apart with its refined and lengthened hour-markers. Their stretched-out silhouette elegantly blends in with the guilloché blue enamel dial. Completed by hand at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture, this artistic work enhances the functions on this model, where a concern for ergonomics is visible to the naked eye. The intense and luminous blue of the new and perfectly geometrical guilloché dial goes well with the deep blue of the matching alligator strap.

The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel watch not only showcases the precision of its movement and complications, but also, and essentially, artisanal handcrafts. With the help of ancestral tools, some of which were produced on site at the Grande Maison, artisans use their hands to enamel, polish, refine, enhance and carry out guilloché work on dials, movements and complications, in accordance with age-old processes, solidifying Jaeger-LeCoultre's reputation as an essential watchmaking Manufacture. Since 1833, the art of precision so dear to Antoine LeCoultre has well and truly expanded beyond the borders of the Vallée de Joux and the Jura mountains in Switzerland.
