Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual
Jaeger-LeCoultre ultra-thin modular perpetual calendar, in this case called the caliber 868. This is a self-winding perpetual with 336 parts and 46 jewels, that remains just 4.72mm thick. Impressive, certainly. So impressive in fact that this perpetual calendar fully cased is just 9.2mm thick, while the less complicated watches I mentioned above come in thicker! The MUT Moon is 9.9mm thick and the tourbillon is 11.3mm thick. And, for those who believe in traditional watchmaking, the ultra-thin perpetual calendar is one of the holiest of calibers. So this watch, in a traditional 39mm case, strikes a lot of chords with purists.
