Okay, so I’ve been eyeing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar for a while now. You know, the one with the eggshell dial and rose gold case? It’s a real beauty. I finally pulled the trigger and got one, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. Let me walk you through it.
First off, I started doing some serious research online. I mean, this is a big purchase, so I wanted to make sure I knew everything about this watch. I read a ton of reviews and watched a bunch of videos. I remember seeing one video, maybe from October 2nd, 2020 or something, about the JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon Rose Gold, which got me even more excited about the brand. And there was another one talking about the JLC ultra thin perpetual, I think it was from October 28th.
Scouting and Deciding
Then, it was time to hit the stores. I visited a few different authorized dealers to see the watch in person. I even tried on the Master Ultra Thin Moon, which I really liked for its moon phase complication. A real classy piece, I tell ya. Eventually, I made up my mind and decided on the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. I was really drawn to the eggshell dial of the 18k rose gold version. This thing is a real looker.
Making the Purchase
Making the purchase was a bit nerve-wracking. I mean, we’re talking about a lot of money here. But the salesperson was super helpful and walked me through all the details. The watch’s 39mm diameter and 9.4mm thickness seemed to fit my wrist quite well. Anyway, I took a deep breath and went for it.
Unboxing and First Impressions
When I finally got the watch, the unboxing was an experience in itself. The packaging was top-notch, as you’d expect. And there it was, the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar in all its glory. The eggshell dial was even more stunning in person, and the rose gold case had a nice weight to it. It felt amazing on my wrist.
Living with the Watch
- Wearing it out: The first time I wore it out, I got so many compliments. I mean, this watch is a real conversation starter. People were asking all about it.
- Checking the accuracy: I’ve been keeping an eye on the timekeeping, and it’s been spot on. I mean, it’s a Jaeger-LeCoultre, so you expect it to be accurate, but it’s still nice to see it in action.
- Admiring the details: I find myself just staring at the watch sometimes, admiring all the little details. The way the light hits the dial, the intricate design of the hands, the perpetual calendar complication—it’s all just so well done.
So, yeah, that’s been my journey with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar so far. It’s been a bit of a splurge, but I’m really happy with my purchase. It’s a beautiful watch, and it’s been a joy to wear. It’s also a great topic for some good chats with others who love this sort of thing! I’ve heard these watches hold their value well, so that’s a plus. I guess you could say it’s an investment, but honestly, I just love wearing it.
