Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this watch, the Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar, the original order version. Let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride.
First off, I started by getting my hands on the watch. It wasn’t easy, you know? These things are pretty rare. But after some digging around, I finally got one.
Then came the fun part – taking it apart. I carefully opened up the back, making sure not to scratch anything. Inside, it’s like a whole other world. Tiny gears, springs, all that stuff working together. It’s crazy.
- I started by examining the movement. It’s super thin, which is what makes this watch so special. I spent hours just looking at it, trying to figure out how it all works.
- Next, I moved on to the dial. The moon phase window is pretty cool. I played around with it, setting different dates and watching the moon change.
- One thing that really got me was how they managed to fit so much into such a small space. I mean, it’s a perpetual calendar, which means it can keep track of the date, day, month, and even leap years, all without needing to be adjusted for like, a hundred years. That’s just wild.
After I was done taking it apart, I had to put it all back together. That was a real test. It’s not like building with LEGOs, let me tell you. One wrong move and you could mess up the whole thing. But I took my time, followed the steps I had learned, and eventually, I got it all back together. And guess what? It still worked!
I’ve been wearing it around for a while now, and it’s been keeping perfect time. Plus, it looks pretty darn good on my wrist, if I do say so myself. The other day someone even said it is “a gorgeous piece.” It made me laugh.
I heard some story about this watch being in some Marvel movie, but honestly, I’m more interested in the watch itself. It’s a piece of history, you know? Made in Switzerland, by a company that’s been around since the 1930s. They make everything by hand, in their own workshops. That’s pretty cool.
So yeah, that’s my story with the Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. It’s been a real adventure, and I’ve learned a ton along the way.
