Review Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilee Watch

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilee watch only has an hour hand and a minute hand otherwise the movement would probably became too ‘bulky’ for its 4.05mm thick case. The silver-grained dial with black hour markers and dauphin shaped hands is one of the best readable and clean dials I’ve ever seen.

The caliber 849 movement consists of 123 parts, with a power reserve of 36 hours and ticks at 21.600 beats per hour. Jaeger-LeCoultre is well-known for its large portfolio of in-house developed and manufactured movements, and this caliber 849 reflects everything needed to create a super (or ultra) thin movement.

Thin watches like this replica Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilee are normally not fit for me personally, as I have quite large wrists. However, its platinum case with a diameter of 39mm suited me fine and looked amazingly good with a suit and a shirt. The alligator strap with tang buckle (also platinum) were very comfortable and well crafted and finished. Dress watches like this should come on leather if you ask me, and a tang buckle ensured that the watch wears thin on the back side of your wrist as well.

The case back is also quite interesting. While some of you might have preferred to have a transparent caseback, I guess it requires a bit more ‘thickness’ due to the sapphire crystal that needs to be in there.
