Fresh from the Showcase here at SwissWatchExpo. Today,
we have a super unique Trio of triple calendar watches from Jaeger Lecoultre.

One of the most prestigious and one of the best values really in fine Swiss watchmaking has got to
be Jaeger Lecoultre and one of their real Flagship models today is got to be the Master Calendar of
the Master Series in general as they're pretty straightforward round dress pieces really iconic
really versatile type of look and it might surprise you to know that you would think
that this is a model that's been around forever but Jaeger actually did not introduce this until
the early '90s so this is a pretty young as far as fine Swiss dress watches go but they have an
absolutely timeless look and that's a testament to that and we have three really unique editions here
that I cannot wait to share with you all of them super super special in their own way the first
one I'm going to grab here is one that I think we may have done before but this is a little bit
different in terms of the dial this is a meteorite dial this is something that's been done by several
different brands before in a variety of watches I tend to see them more in sport watches so JLC
is a bit on an island here and putting it on a dress watch but the good news is this is still
super clean looking meteorite dials are known for having like just crazy lines and a metallic sort
of finish that goes in every which direction which does lend itself pretty well to a sport watch this
is a bit more subtle though you definitely do get the different lines and sort of a frantic motif of
lines going in a variety of different directions but the color is pretty smooth not super you know
not super rugged or jagged or anything like that so it actually goes very well on a on a
dress watch like this more so than say I think a Rolex meteorite dial or even one that Omega has
used in their Speedmasters before definitely more of a darker color this color goes very well with
a dress watch sort of like the Master Calendar here the reason it's called a calendar is that
this is a triple calendar movement and you can't see this on the dial here I really love the way
that they lay the sort of information out that the style is supposed to show they have the day
the week and the month itself here sort of In the middle on the upper half of the dial and
that is pretty unique they also do have a moon phase and an offset second hand here at six and
then the date is registered actually in a ring around the exterior of the dial too so that's
really unique still a very clean look and you're able to get a ton of information on this watch
without making it look too cluttered or anything like that and that's something also that with a
meteorite dial if this wasn't done as well as it was could come out looking very very cluttered
another thing that all three of these are going to have in common which I'll go ahead and show
you on this one is an exhibition caseback which again you kind of know that it's going to be a
really prestigious brand and a prestigious model if they're going to put an exhibition caseback in
the back of a dress watch that's something that a lot of brands might not necessarily care too
much about but this is an automatic movement in a 39-millimeter case so a decent size for
a dress watch too that's probably one of the more modern things about the Master Calendar and this
is just an absolutely beautiful movement here we actually have sort of a two-tone rotor here which
I've not seen so this is steel with what looks to be a rose gold lip around the outside of it
so that's another really unique thing about this watch and something some really fun details that
JLC can put in their dress watches something that might seem a little plain to some people oh one
other thing about the side of this case because obviously you have so many so much information
on this dial to control you actually manipulate it three different ways one through the crown
which is a bit more traditional and then you can actually change I believe the day and the day of
the week using these little push pins here on the side of these little push buttons which
you can use with a small plastic tool or even a toothpick that I've seen a lot of people use
which is again makes it very easy to manipulate this pretty quickly to get the right time and date
that's especially if you are not putting this on a watch winder or if you just have a large
collection and you know sometimes some of your watches might the calendar might go out of date
now this next one is a beautiful color and this one's actually even a little more unique than a
meteorite dial if you can believe that this is a limited edition to a hundred pieces in this blue
dial and this blue dial is absolutely gorgeous it is not very metallic it is a completely sort
of it's still a little reflective but still very dark navy blue so this is something that's going
to look so great as a dress watch if you only need blue coats or any blue suits this is a
watch that is going to get a ton of wrist time every time that you get those out otherwise
this is a pretty straightforward moonphase the moonphase actually does have a blue background
which does make it a little harder to see than on the meteorite dial or this other one here
that I'm going to get into but the good news about a moonphase is it's pretty much there
to be aesthetic I don't know anyone whose job really requires them to know the moonphase but
hey if you do then consider wearing this watch to work because it will do it for you everything
else here pretty much the same deployant clasp the beautiful exhibition caseback with the same type
of movement but again if you if you really love this color do not pass this up because this is
one of 100 that they've ever made with the triple calendar complication in this color so already
very very prestigious piece already on its own and then the last one here is going to be probably the
most impressive at all because this is going to have all the same things same layout same movement
same beautiful 39 millimeter case this one is in 18-carat white gold however so just a little bit
more elegant and also gonna have more of a grainy color on the dial and that is something that's
going to be a bit more reminiscent of say like a Cartier dial or something not something I see
on a lot of JLC so that's just another testament to how unique this piece is but I also really if
you really want the contrast on that moonphase please consider this white gold piece because
the moon phase here at six o'clock doesn't really get lost one and sharing the blue background with
the dial or in some of just some of the motif and the pattern that you get on the meteorite
dial can make it a little harder to notice those details so if you really want the cleanest the
most traditional and elegant looking dress piece well of course you only got to go with white gold
it makes sense but any one of these pieces are in stock and ready to ship today we've probably
got the best selection of dress pieces online so if you were looking for something really fancy
to make an impression at that next event we've got these we've got so many other brands too so
