Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel

The Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel by Jaeger-LeCoultre returns in 2025 with a new and visually striking anthracite dial. Housed in a 40mm pink gold case, this refined timepiece combines grand feu enamel with hand-guilloché craftsmanship to produce a richly textured display. Its symmetrical layout is anchored by a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock and a date subdial at 12, all powered by the updated automatic Calibre 978. Produced in a limited run of just 50 pieces, this model exemplifies the maison’s ongoing commitment to high watchmaking and aesthetic refinement.
The watch is housed in an 18k pink gold case measuring 40mm in diameter and 12.13mm in thickness. The sleek contours, mirror-polished bezel, and curved lugs emphasize the classic elegance of the Master collection, delivering a refined presence on the wrist while remaining versatile enough for formal wear.A sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the beautifully finished movement within, including the pink gold oscillating weight, perlage, and the hand-assembled tourbillon. The layout provides an intimate view into Jaeger-LeCoultre’s high watchmaking savoir-faire, showcasing both decoration and technical achievement.A matching pink gold crown at 3 o’clock allows for time and date setting. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial while offering distortion-free legibility. Water-resistance can reach up to 50 meters (165 feet).
The dial is crafted in anthracite grey grand feu enamel, layered over a delicate guilloché base featuring 180 sunray-engraved lines. This flinqué technique creates a richly dimensional surface that shifts in tone from deep charcoal to near-black, depending on the angle of light. The enamel’s natural gloss enhances the interplay of shadows and reflections across the radiant pattern.Positioned at 12 o’clock is a circular subdial for the date, adorned with a contrasting azurage guilloché motif. The engraved grooves produce a subtle texture that distinguishes it from the main dial while maintaining visual harmony. Applied pink gold indexes and dauphine-style hands complement the case metal, reinforcing the warm, understated elegance of the design.At 6 o’clock, the flying tourbillon makes a commanding appearance, housed within a mirror-polished aperture. The tourbillon also serves as the small seconds indicator, with a peripheral gold track marking the seconds. Together, these elements create a balanced, symmetrical display that quietly emphasizes mechanical artistry.
