The perpetual calendar complication addresses the inherent anomaly between civil time and celestial cycles, making it one of the most challenging complications in watchmaking. The newly introduced Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar is powered by Calibre 868, meticulously designed and assembled in-house at Jaeger-LeCoultre. Featuring a new escapement and pallets, Calibre 868 boasts a robust power reserve of 70 hours, thanks to its enhanced energy efficiency.

While maintaining the elegant 39mm diameter and 9.2mm thickness, the Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar receives subtle design enhancements, including slimmer lugs for increased comfort. The dial is refined, with improved legibility and intricate detailing on the moon phase display. Each facet of the Dauphine hands receives a unique finish, reflecting Jaeger-LeCoultre's dedication to precision in aesthetics.
