Jaeger-LeCoultreMaster ControlModel No: Q1548420-G20B

Intended to offer an amazing bang for the buck while keeping things as subtle and balanced as possible, this Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date Q1548420 is the timepiece you can wear forever. Its elegant design and versatile aesthetics nix any likelihood of it falling into any specific era; part of the reason the collection has sustained its stance as the house’s linchpin since 1992. The soothing silver dial of this reference is outfitted with complementing details guided by a similarly modest sensibility. The hour markers are a combination of simple, faceted indexes and Arabic numerals at 12, six, and nine. The extremely slim seconds hand add a soupcon of colour being adorned with the characteristic blue shade. Functionality walks hand in hand with design on the dial, with this Master Control rocking a date window at three o’clock. The subdued charm of the dial is well-matched by the stainless steel case that wears remarkably well on the wrist with its appropriate 39mm size and sleek 8.9mm profile.

Under the hood, JLC calibre 899 beats at a frequency of 28,800bph. This automatic calibre has powered numerous iterations of the Master Control and comes with a gold rotor bearing the brand signature. It promises a power autonomy of 43 hours.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
