Featuring a 40-mm case, curved lugs, Dauphine hands and appliqué hour-markers, the new Master Control Calendar embodies the watchmaking spirit of this signature collection, achieving a subtle balance between technical prowess and contemporary aesthetics. On this model which boasts a complete calendar, the date indications (day and month) appear in blue in two apertures situated in the center of the dial, while the moon phase comes to life at 6 o’clock.

The finely balanced classical layout of the dial is retained, with the dates marked around the periphery, indicated by a red-tipped hand, the days and months displayed in the upper part of the dial, and the moon-phase set within the small seconds subdial in the lower part.

But there is a fresh new twist to the date display: as well as updating Caliber 866 with the same performance-enhancing improvements made to cal.899, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers have added a delightful new jumping complication. Every month, the date hand makes a 90-degree leap from the 15th to the 16th, in order not to obscure the moon-phase display.

Thanks to a new interchangeability system, the Master Control Calendar is available with two straps: One in stainless steel and the other in Novonappa® calfskin with a folding clasp. This duo of straps changes the look of the watch, effortlessly adapting from a casual look to a more sophisticated elegance.
