A Timeless Masterpiece of Elegance and Precision
The 2022 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Calendar 40mm (Ref. Q4142520) is a refined expression of horological excellence, blending sophisticated complications with a timeless aesthetic. With its exquisite pink gold case, triple calendar function, and signature jumping date hand, this timepiece embodies the Swiss brand’s legacy of innovation and craftsmanship.
A CLASSICALLY ELEGANT DIAL
At the heart of this masterpiece lies an opaline silver dial, beautifully designed for clarity and symmetry. The elegant blue-accented moon phase display at 6 o’clock adds a poetic touch, contrasting against the warm hues of the 18K pink gold case. The triple calendar complication—displaying the day, date, and month—ensures practicality while maintaining an uncluttered aesthetic.
One of the watch’s signature details is the jumping date hand, which gracefully leaps from the 15th to the 16th of the month, avoiding the moon phase subdial to preserve dial harmony. This is a perfect example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to both form and function.
18K PINK GOLD CASE & ALLIGATOR STRAP
Encased in 18K pink gold, the 40mm case exudes warmth and sophistication, with a refined mix of brushed and polished surfaces. Its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit, complemented by a luxurious brown alligator leather strap with a matching gold pin buckle for a seamless, classic look.
MOVEMENT: CALIBRE 866

✔ 70-hour power reserve, ensuring exceptional autonomy
