Jacques-David LeCoultre, the third generation of LeCoultre, was riding his bicycle to a town 20 kilometers away from his home. In 1903, the telephone was not yet mature enough to be called an infrastructure.
This is the first contact between two of Jaeger-LeCoultre's most important people.
I put the receiver to my ear and heard Jagger's voice, distant and broken. I want to make a very thin pocket watch. I want to make a very thin pocket watch, and I need a caliber for it. In 1907, Jaeger completed the Caliber 145 with a thickness of only 1.38 millimeters.
The calibre 899 in the Master Ultra Slim Date presented here is a movement that is descended from the calibre 145.
Combining technical excellence with timeless beauty - the Master Ultra Slim Date, said to symbolize the Jaeger-LeCoultre philosophy, offers a beauty that can neither be added to nor subtracted from, yet is not easily recognizable at first glance. The new version has been updated. The silver sunray finish is lined with slightly longer indexes. You can see the beauty of the symmetry is highlighted.
