Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel – Ref. Q13224E2
Introducing the exquisite Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel (Ref. Q13224E2), a limited-edition masterpiece from Jaeger-LeCoultre, limited to just 50 pieces worldwide. This stunning 40 mm timepiece in 18K pink gold unites high watchmaking craftsmanship with rare enamel artistry and a graceful tourbillon complication.
Grand Feu Enamel Dial with Sunray Guilloché
At the heart of the Q13224E2 is a striking anthracite-grey dial created in Grand Feu enamel over a hand-guilloché sunray motif. The dial’s radiating texture stems from 1,080 precise incisions executed using a rose-engine lathe, followed by five layers of enamel that are each carefully fired at 800 °C to achieve luminous depth and character. The small date sub-dial at 12 o’clock presents a contrasting circular guilloché finish, balancing the tourbillon at 6 o’clock. This interplay of texture and light distinguishes the Enamel edition as an artistic triumph.
Graceful Tourbillon Movement Calibre 978
Powered by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house Calibre 978, celebrated in 2009 with an international chronometry award, the movement has been refined in 2019. It includes a featherlight tourbillon cage weighing less than 0.5 g, constructed in titanium, alongside a two-level hairspring to ensure consistent oscillations. With a 4 Hz frequency and approximately 45-hour power reserve, this ultra-slim automatic calibre features hours, minutes, seconds (on the tourbillon), and date. Finishing elements, visible through the sapphire caseback, include Geneva stripes, polished bevelling, and a pink-gold rotor.
Exquisite Pink Gold Case Elegant Dimensions
The sleek 40 mm 18 K pink gold case measures just 12.13 mm thick, striking a refined balance ideal for sophisticated wrist wear. Its gently curved lugs and signature trapezoidal indices reflect traditional Master collection aesthetics. With a sapphire crystal on both front and back, this watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, combining durability with luxury styling.
Refined Details Dress-Ready Presentation
The dial’s features include dauphine-style hands and trapezoidal hour markers that harmonize with the refined dial surface. A black alligator leather strap with small-scale lining, secured via a pink-gold double-folding clasp, rounds out the ensemble — allowing for both elegance and comfort.
