Rolex: First look at the new Collections
Up Close & Personal with Rolex at Baselworld 2013
By Sean Nugent, 25 April 2013
In 1903 Jacques-David LeCoultre rose to the challenge set by Swiss watch manufacturers Edmond Jaeger to create the ‘world's thinnest movements’ which in turn led to the joining of Jaeger and LeCoultre. As a longstanding specialist in ultra thin watches Jaeger-LeCoultre has introduced the Master Grande Ultra Thin collection which includes clear-cut lines and is reminiscent of the classic round watch.
Swiss made hand-wound timepiece with calibre Jaeger-LeCoultre 896 movement, 28,800 alternations per hour, and a 43 hour power reserve with 34 jewels and 242 pieces with the movement measuring only 3.98mm thickness. 40mm 18 carat rose gold case with glareproof sapphire crystal and an open case-back displaying the calibre movement. Beige dial with a small seconds hand at 6 o’clock, gilt markers and Dauphines hands. The contrast provided by the different finishes on the dial and hands strengthen the legibility and aesthetics.
Secured by brown alligator strap with folding clasp. Water resistant to 50 metres. Every watch made by Jaeger-LeCoultre has passed their 1000 hour control tests which to be sure it is of the highest standards. 2 year manufacturer's warranty.
PaybyFinance is available on all items over £1500 and is provided by Hitachi Capital Consumer Finance (UK) PLC with whom we have a commercial relationship.
As a certified Jaeger-LeCoultre dealer, all of our watches are supplied securely packed in official brand presentation boxes with stamped and dated documentation including the manufacturer's 2 year international warranty.
If your watch has a linked bracelet, we can adjust the size before it's sent so that it fits straight out of the box.
On placing your order you will receive a confirmation email - please reply to this email with your wrist measurement (in mm) and we'll make the necessary adjustments before despatch. Any links that have been removed will be sent with your watch. In some cases you may need additional links - in which case we'll get in touch as there may be a small additional cost as we'll need to source these from the manufacturer.
