Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin manual

Debuting in 1992, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin collection channels the timeless elegance of 1950s dress watches. Known for refined aesthetics, minimalist dials, and expert Swiss craftsmanship, it’s a line that embodies the DNA of JLC luxury watches.

This example, the Master Ultra-Thin ref. 145.8.79.S, dates to the middle 1990s–early 2000s. It features a beautifully clean silver dial housed in a slim 33mm stainless steel case, perfect for those who appreciate understated vintage style.

Design details include sharp dauphine hands, applied dagger indices, and Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 — all adding subtle depth to the dial. With its stepped bezel, curved lugs, and classic manual-wind cal. 849 movement visible through the sapphire caseback, this piece is both refined and functional.

A superb example of Swiss watchmaking tradition, the Master Ultra-Thin speaks directly to collectors who value heritage, elegance, and precision.
