New for the SIHH 2019 are three Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin watches with blue guilloché and enamel dials. A new Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon, a Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar and a Master Ultra Thin Moon phase watch enrich the ultra thin collection with the most emblematic complications in watchmaking. Showcasing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s expertise in the field of horology, these new dials are a testament to precision and sophistication. All cased in 18K white gold cases and exclusively available in limited editions, the three new watches feature a midnight blue —blue greenish depending on lighting conditions— enamel dial with sunray guilloché motif.
Before going in detail into each of the new watches, it is important to mention that the watches we perused and photographed are not the final product. The watches we have here are prototypes with some blemishes and texture issues on their dials. The final watches delivered to clients will be flawless per Jaeger-LeCoultre standards.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel
The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel features a new tourbillon movement and a new-look date counter. They form a balanced pair on this watch, produced in a limited series of 50 pieces. In an elegant case from the Master Ultra Thin collection, the famous Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 978 has been re-conceived both technically and aesthetically. In terms of finishes, the sunray effect really stands out, as does the light and graceful gold oscillating weight. As always, one’s gaze is captured by the endlessly fascinating spectacle of the tourbillon, fittingly placed in an aperture at six o’clock.

Jaeger-LeCoultre 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 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel asserts itself from the very first gaze. This ultra-thin piece has seen a re-imagining 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 100-piece limited edition.
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.
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.

Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel
Issued in a limited series of 100 pieces, the new Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel proudly expresses its character in a pure and refined watchmaking style,
