Deliberately proclaimed classicism, a complex and ultra-accurate movement : the Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon offers a fresh demonstration of the inventive strength of the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux. After the Gyrotourbillon in 2004 and the Master Tourbillon in 2006, Jaeger-LeCoultre began 2012 by unveiling an eye-catching model in tribute to this supreme horological complication. The majestic and imposing tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock displays stunning finesse. Held by a filigree-worked bridge, its harmonious design stands out against an eggshell-white dial on which only the applied pink gold hour-markers distract the gaze from the true centre of attention. This beautiful accomplishment, representing an authentic artistic and technological feat, is housed in a 40 mm-diameter pink gold case measuring a slender 11.3 mm thick.
