First debuting in 1992, the JLC Master Control line draws inspiration from the elegant designs of the 1950s. With refined dials, expert casework, and beautifully crafted movements, this collection exemplifies JLC’s mastery as the “watchmaker’s watchmaker.”
Offered here is the Master Calendar ref. 140.8.87, dating to the late '90s–early 2000s. It features a stunning silver dial inside a versatile 37mm stainless steel case — a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern wearability.
The dial sports applied dagger indices with Arabic numerals at 12, 3, and 9 o’clock, pointer date, day/month apertures at 12, and a running seconds subdial at 6. Powering it all is the legendary automatic cal. 889 movement.
This piece features a stepped bezel, curved lugs, single crown, and comes paired with a genuine honey ostrich strap and JLC deployant clasp. A classic design that echoes the 1950s while highlighting JLC’s enduring craftsmanship.
