Skilfully handcrafted with care on each every its details, this Master Grand Réveil features Perpetual calendar with day, date, month and a four-digit year, and a Moonphase indicator in both Northern and Southern hemispheres. These sophisticated functionality is powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 909/1-440C, JLC’s in house Swiss automatic self winding 36 jewels movement that beats at a high-frequency, and provides around 45 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Its accuracy is quite a pleasure, and you can be sure that it is top notch one in terms of reliability.
In addition, the timepiece also comes equipped with an integrated mechanical Alarm that can be conveniently set for either ringing for its pure sound --hammer strikes the gong, or silently vibrating. This alarm options are controlled by a switch located on the left edge of the watch. While the watch’s other functions can be conveniently set and adjusted using the two fluted crown on the right hand side.
Due to its complications, this Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grand Reveil Q163242A R/G is a bit large; its 18k Rose Gold case measures 43 mm in diameter, and approximately 16 mm thick. Still, the watch is comfortable to wear and doesn’t look too bulky. Read ability is not an issue at all due to its Sapphire shielded Silvered sunray dial’s smart layout, as well as the luminescent hands and markers. And for the peace of mind, the whole timepiece is 50 m water resistant.
More than a watch, this 163.24.2a reference numbered JLC timepiece is like an artwork, a timeless creation that is simply priceless. The original suggested retail price of this Rose gold automatic mechanical timekeeper is $44,550.00, however, that amount would be nothing compared to its beauty and quality offerings.
