OK, let’s talk about this whole Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar thing. I’ve been eyeing this watch for a while now, and I finally decided to just go for it. So, I started by checking out some pictures online, you know, just to get a feel for it. I saw a few different versions. There was this rose gold one with an eggshell dial that looked pretty sweet. But then I saw the stainless steel model, and man, that deep color really got me.
I did some more digging around the web and saw some folks talking about how they were debating between the Ultra Thin Moon and the Perpetual Calendar. I get it, the Moon is way cheaper, like three times cheaper, and maintaining the Perpetual Calendar is a whole other story, I’ve read it can be a real pain. But there was just something about that Perpetual Calendar that kept pulling me in.
I kept reading and found out that they refreshed the JLC Master Ultra Thin collection in 2024, and there’s a new take on the Perpetual Calendar. That got me even more excited. I mean, we’re talking about a perpetual calendar in an ultra-thin design. That’s pretty wild.
- So, here’s what I did:
- First, I spent hours looking at pictures online, comparing the different models.
- Then, I started reading people’s opinions about the watch, you know, the pros and cons.
- After that, I found out about the 2024 update, which made me even more interested.
- Finally, I decided to check it out in person.
I went to an official flagship store, the real deal. And let me tell you, seeing this watch in person is a whole different experience. The way it catches the light, the details on the dial, the thinness of the case, I mean it’s just something else. I tried it on, and it felt amazing on my wrist. The size is perfect, not too big, not too small, just 39 millimeters. I’ve heard people online go on and on about watch size, but honestly, when you see it in person, it just works.
The only problem
The only problem was the strap. It was too big for me. But hey, that’s an easy fix. I figured I could just order a new one.
So, after trying it on and falling even deeper in love, I pulled the trigger. I bought the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. This is my first “real” watch that I’ll be wearing regularly. It’s not flashy, kind of under the radar, which I like. It’s just a beautiful, well-made timepiece that I’m excited to wear every day.
Honestly, I’m stoked about this purchase. It’s a big one, but I think it’s totally worth it. This watch is something I’ll cherish for years to come. Now I just need to order that new strap.
