When you think of magical elegance, one name springs to mind: Jaeger-LeCoultre. Known for blending sophisticated craftsmanship with timeless beauty, their Master Ultra Thin Perpetual series captivates watch enthusiasts everywhere. Inspired by the enigmatic Doctor Strange, its design is as mysterious as it is alluring.

After years of meticulous research, Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled the fully functional perpetual calendar movement, Cal.868/1, correcting many limitations found in other versions. This piece stands out in several ways: it’s the thinnest, the most accurate, the most stylish, and the most refined.

Being the thinnest at 10.2mm, each component is precision-cast using CNC technology, maintaining a diameter of 39mm. The dial closely mirrors the original’s design, with unique dimensional markers and three recessed counters, distinct from single-layered alternatives.

The watch boasts the iconic Dauphine hands, famed for their yin-yang dual finish—half sandblasted, half polished. With micro-curved steel blue hands, the color is exceptionally pure, adding to its aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the movement’s plates are finished with a floral pattern, showcasing attention to every detail.

Not only a marvel of design, the watch’s functional features are just as impressive. Adjust the month with the discreet button at 8 o’clock, tweak the weekday at 9 o’clock, and set the date at 3 o’clock. The moon phase at 12 o’clock offers real functionality and can be individually adjusted. The perpetual calendar can be set with a hidden button, showing years from 2023-2028, simplifying module replacement. A warning window above the central pin indicates safe adjustment times to preserve the complex movement’s lifespan.

In summary, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Ultra Thin Perpetual harmonizes exceptional aesthetics with intricate engineering, making it a truly magical addition to any watch collection.
