Designed with a gracefully symmetrical dial, what seems to be a heft to communicate becomes easily legible. At a glance, the wearer can quickly tell the time and if their timepiece needs a quick boast of power reserve via the 8 day indication on the top. Taking a closer look of the masterpiece, the day and night indication is whimsically read with an alternation of a sun and moon tipped hand. And for those who often wonders when is it safe to adjust the calendar, the engineers at Jaeger-LeCoultre provides a solution. Indicated by a small aperture within the day & night subdial, it warns the wearer with a red indication with subtle elegance.

Jaeger-LeCoultre
Swiss | 1833Not all companies in the watchmaking field have been able to stand the test of time quite like Jaeger LeCoultre, also known as the "watchmaker's watchmaker." Founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre and originally named LeCoutre, the firm provided watchmaking's top brands, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, the high-grade, unfinished mechanical movements with which they completed their watches.
In the early 1900s, Cartier's watch supplier Edmond Jaeger sought out LeCoultre's help in creating the world's thinnest watches. The collaboration resulted in the creation of Cartier's earliest Tank and Santos watches, all housed with LeCoultre movements. The duo decided to merge in 1937, and the firm officially became the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand by which collectors know and adore it today. Some of the firm's most significant and important timepieces include the Reverso, the Memovox, the Atmos clock and, among modern watches, their Master Complications.
