The Master Control line has been a staple of the line-up for some years now, and is Jaeger LeCoultre doing what it has traditionally done best; beautiful, classic complicated dress watches made to an extremely high standard at very reasonable money. While we love the simple executions of the MC line, the complicated pieces stand out as some thing truly special. This particular version is known as the Master Moon, and features a triple calendar as well as a moonphase complication

It features a wonderfully proportioned 37mm steel case measuring just 8.9mm in thickness, housing a silver galvanised sunburst dial with half frosted Dauphine hands and red varnish-tipped pointer date hand, with polished dart indices and classical red-on-white printing for the day and month window. It is powered by the in-house Cal. 891-2-440 automatic movement. This model is now discontinued and replaced by a larger 40mm model, leaving this as a traditionalists choice for those that prefer the more classical proportions.

Finishing it off is a beautiful factory JLC 'gator strap with JLC deployant in steel.

This particular piece would date from the 00's and presents in TZ Near Mint condition, with the case showing only very light hairlines and swirlies. Please see images for full condition details.

Service history is unknown. All functions operating as they should, and is keeping COSC time at time of testing at 300+ degrees of amplitude.

No box or papers, but will include a lovely JLC travel case with the sale.
