Brace yourself, watch enthusiasts! The GR Factory has just launched a stunning replica of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Perpetual Calendar watch after meticulously researching its intricate mechanics for three years. It’s almost like they crafted it with a magic wand!
Among its many wonders, the perpetual calendar seamlessly integrates with the watch, allowing adjustments through a hidden 8 o’clock button. The calendar effortlessly runs from 2024 to 2029, making module replacements a breeze.
The watch showcases a brilliant date dial at 3 o’clock, adjustably forward through the first notch and (not recommended) reversely to avoid tampering with the moon phase. Speaking of the moon phase, located at 12 o’clock, it performs a full rotation every 30 days, and adjustable through the first notch too—finally solving the standalone adjustment issue!
Let’s not forget the ingenious warning window, set above the center spindle, alerting users with a white display when manually adjusting the year is safe and cautioning with a blue display when it’s not advised. This isn’t a flaw but an intentional design to preserve the delicate mechanism.
The aesthetics are just as captivating—a steel case made through precise CNC fabrication mirrors the original’s grace. Maintaining a 39mm size, its thickness remains true to the original at near 10mm while delivering full functionality.
With mesmerizing watch face details like micro-convex indices and Jaeger-LeCoultre’s signature dauphine hands—half sanded, half polished—this replica truly holds the essence of its inspiration. The GR Factory’s relentless pursuit of perfection allows us to relish in the charm and sophistication of the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch without compromise.
