Master Control indeed is a collection that brings an effortless union of understated style and compelling watch complications. Outfitted with functions spanning a simple date to much-coveted moonphase, Jaeger-LeCoultre has delivered many watchmaking wonders through this collection. One such marvel is this Reserve de Marche, which makes a simple power reserve indicator the hero element of the watch.

It’s an elegant 37mm watch with a stainless steel case and a highly-legible silver dial. The smooth, polished, fixed bezel adds to the understated trope of the watch. A date sub-dial is placed at two o’clock, a seconds counter at six, and an intermix of the index and Arabic numeral markers completes the dial display. The defining element of the watch is the power reserve indicator located at 10 o’clock in a quadrant shape featuring an hour scale to demonstrate a 42-hour running autonomy. Jaeger-LeCoultre adds luminous hands and dot hour markers for easy time-reading after dark.

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.
