A Master Control with a sublime black dial, a power reserve indicator, and the JLC 928/2 automatic movement.
Overview
In 1992, Jaeger-LeCoultre debuted the vintage-inspired Master Control collection as a tribute to the brand’s unmatched watchmaking heritage. No longer just “the watchmaker’s watchmaker”, the Master Control collection ushered in a new era where JLC once again was dedicated to exceptional watchmaking and production under its own name. Throughout the years the collection has seen a number of horology’s most famous complications including the moonphase indicator, triple calendar, chronograph, world timer, 8 days power reserve, and perpetual calendar. What’s more, each Master Control watch has undergone the brand’s strict “1,000 Hour Control” testing period, during which the movement is cased, rigorously examined beyond COSC certification protocols, and hand-adjusted for accuracy in six positions.
The watch here features a triad of complications harmoniously arranged throughout the dial, highlighted by a réserve de marche (“power reserve”) indicator in the upper left corner. Boasting dauphine hands, dart-style indices, and Arabic numerals at 12 and 9 o’clock, the style is reserved and classically executed. There’s plenty to love on the reverse side as well, where one is treated to an exhibition view of the beautifully finished automatic caliber 928/2 beating inside. Yet what makes this example truly spectacular is a stunning beads of rice bracelet from JLC that’s fully linked and simply sublime on the wrist. With its sleek look and universally wearable 37mm case, this Réserve De Marche is a clear standout from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s neo-vintage catalog.
