Master Ultra Thin

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin, reference Q1338421, is the kind of watch that proves restraint is the most demanding art form in fine watchmaking, a timepiece so slim, so quietly refined, and so entirely confident in its own simplicity that it makes almost everything else feel overdone. This certified pre-owned example from 2018 is offered in excellent condition and comes with its full original set, including box, papers, and all original accessories.

Crafted in stainless steel with beautifully curved lugs, the Q1338421 presents the Master Ultra Thin in a perfectly proportioned 41mm round case measuring just 7.4mm in height, a remarkable slimness for an automatic movement and one that allows the watch to slide beneath a shirt cuff with a grace that only the thinnest dress watches can achieve. A clean smooth bezel, a sapphire crystal caseback revealing the movement within, and nothing extraneous whatsoever.

The silver sunray-brushed dial is serene and impeccably finished, with applied polished rhodium-plated dagger hour markers and elegant Dauphine hands delivering excellent legibility against the softly textured background. No date, no complication, no distraction. Just time, displayed with the quiet authority that Jaeger-LeCoultre has been perfecting since 1833.

Powering the watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 896, an in-house automatic movement with 29 jewels and a 43-hour power reserve, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Visible through the open caseback with its Côtes de Genève decoration, blued screws, and engraved oscillating weight, it is a movement that rewards every second spent admiring it.

The watch is delivered on its original black alligator leather strap with stainless steel deployant buckle, completing a package of exceptional refinement and understated luxury.
