Credor Expands The Goldfeather Collection With The GCBY991 Porcelain Dial

MRSTATELESS CREDOR, NEW RELEASES 2026, Dress Watch, Limited Edition, Porcelain 0

Credor continues to showcase its mastery of ultra-thin watchmaking and traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the Goldfeather GCBY991, a refined dress watch distinguished by an Imari Nabeshima porcelain dial and an unusually restrained stainless steel case.

The Goldfeather name traces its origins back to 1960, when Seiko introduced a series of exceptionally thin mechanical watches driven by pioneering in-house movements. These early calibres set benchmarks for slimness in their era and later became integral to Credor’s identity when the brand was formally established in 1974. Reintroduced as a modern collection in 2023, the Goldfeather line now serves as a platform for artisanal dials produced using traditional Japanese techniques.

Imari Nabeshima Porcelain Dial

At the centre of the GCBY991 is a handcrafted porcelain dial produced at the Hataman Touen kiln, a workshop renowned for preserving the Imari Nabeshima tradition. This porcelain style originated in Okawachiyama during Japan’s Edo period and was historically reserved for the ruling elite. Today, it remains one of the country’s officially protected artistic crafts.

The dial is formed from a translucent white porcelain base that is carefully shaped, fired, and polished down to approximately 1mm in thickness. A rich cobalt-blue glaze creates a soft gradient that transitions from a lighter tone at the centre to deeper saturation around the edges. Before glazing, blue feather motifs are applied to the surface, while a secondary set of ghost-like, semi-transparent feathers and the hour markers are added after glazing. This layered process, which involves multiple firings, results in notable visual depth despite the dial’s extreme thinness.

The gently curved surface of the porcelain is protected by a box-shaped sapphire crystal. Matching this curvature, the minute hand features a subtly bent tip to follow the dial’s contour, ensuring precise legibility along the outer track.

Case and Proportions

Unlike many previous Goldfeather models crafted in precious metals, the GCBY991 is housed in stainless steel. The case measures 37.10 mm in diameter and just 8.30 mm in thickness, reinforcing its role as a traditional dress watch. The bezel and elongated lugs are finished using Zaratsu polishing, producing distortion-free surfaces with sharp transitions. Water resistance is rated at 30 metres.

Ultra-Thin Mechanical Movement

Powering the watch is the manually wound Credor calibre 6890, an ultra-thin movement measuring only 1.98mm in height. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, it offers a power reserve of approximately 37 hours. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback, where its curved bridges are decorated with broad striping and chamfered edges. The caseback is also engraved with the Hataman Touen kiln emblem, referencing the dial’s origin.

Strap and Availability

The watch is delivered on a black crocodile leather strap, secured by a stainless steel triple-folding clasp with push-button release. Production is limited to 60 pieces. The Credor Goldfeather Imari Nabeshima Porcelain Dial GCBY991 is scheduled for release in February 2026, with a retail price set at € 15,000.

Seiko Presage SPB537: A Tonneau Case Returns To The Collection

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, SEIKO 2026, Dress Watch, Enamel 0

Seiko expands the Presage lineup with the SPB537, marking the return of a tonneau-shaped case that had been absent from the collection for several years. While Seiko has explored this form in the past, the SPB537 represents a renewed approach, pairing a shaped case with an enamel dial and a modern in-house automatic movement. The result is a watch that leans strongly on classical design codes while benefiting from contemporary construction.

Case design and proportions

The Seiko Presage SPB537 features a stainless steel tonneau-shaped case measuring 35.90 mm in width, 46 mm lug-to-lug, and 12.50 mm in thickness. Despite its modest nominal diameter, the curved profile and extended lugs give the watch a more substantial presence on the wrist than the measurements might suggest.

A narrow bezel surrounds a dual-curved sapphire crystal, while the mid-case incorporates short, sculpted lugs that add visual depth. The case sides are softly contoured, creating a smooth transition between the bezel and case back. A conical crown at 3 o’clock, a familiar Presage signature, completes the design.

The case is rated to 5 bar (50 meters) of water resistance.

Enamel dial with classical detailing

The dial is the visual centerpiece of the SPB537. Crafted in white enamel, it offers a glossy surface that contrasts sharply with the black Roman numerals marking the hours. A traditional railroad-style minute track runs along the outer edge, reinforcing the watch’s historical inspiration.

Blue, leaf-shaped hands indicate the hours and minutes, adding a refined touch of color against the white dial. The central seconds hand features a crescent moon-shaped counterweight, a subtle detail that enhances the watch’s classical character. At 6 o’clock, a 24-hour sub-dial is styled to resemble a small seconds register, contributing to a balanced and symmetrical layout.

The dial layout draws inspiration from the Seiko Timekeeper, the brand’s first pocket watch introduced in 1895. Text on the dial includes the Seiko logo, Presage branding, and indications for “Automatic” and “3 Days.”

Caliber 6R5H movement

Powering the Presage SPB537 is Seiko’s in-house automatic Caliber 6R5H. The movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and delivers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours when fully wound.

Seiko states an accuracy range of +25 to -15 seconds per day, which is consistent with other models in the 6R family. The movement can be viewed through a sapphire display case back, revealing a gold-toned rotor and utilitarian finishing focused on durability rather than decoration.

Bracelet and wearability

The SPB537 is supplied on a stainless steel five-row bracelet, combining brushed and polished surfaces for a refined yet versatile look. The bracelet is secured by a push-button folding clasp. While it does not feature micro-adjustment or quick-release functionality, the standard spring bar construction allows for easy replacement with leather or fabric straps.

Price and availability

The Seiko Presage SPB537 is priced at € 1,650 and is positioned within Seiko’s mid-tier Presage offerings, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern mechanical specifications.

Our Take

We welcome the return of the tonneau-shaped case to the Presage collection. It adds variety to a lineup that has become increasingly dominated by round cases and reinforces Seiko’s long-standing interest in shaped dress watches. That said, it would be interesting to see Seiko explore slightly smaller dimensions—sizes that remain elegant and refined without becoming overly exclusive to women’s wrists, and that would also suit men with more modest wrist sizes.

De Rijke & Co. Capri: A New Direction In Rectangular Watchmaking

MRSTATELESS DE RIJKE & CO., NEW RELEASES 2025, Dress Watch, Limited Edition 0

Dutch microbrand De Rijke & Co. continues its measured approach to watchmaking with the introduction of the Capri collection, a compact rectangular watch that combines architectural case design with semi-precious dial materials. Known for producing small, tightly curated collections, the brand shifts away from the motoring-inspired Amalfi and explores a more refined, minimalist aesthetic with this latest release.

The Capri is housed in a stainless steel rectangular case measuring 28.50 mm wide, 38 mm tall, and just 6.50 mm thick, giving it a slim profile well suited to both formal and everyday wear. The design is defined by a full-width dial that extends nearly edge to edge, framed only at the top and bottom by brushed horizontal bands. These bands conceal the lugs, creating a seamless visual transition between the case and strap while reinforcing the watch’s clean, uninterrupted geometry.

Three distinct versions of the Capri are available, each differentiated primarily by dial material and layout. The Capri Onyx features a polished black onyx stone dial with a glossy, mirror-like surface. Its design is intentionally restrained, displaying only skeletonised hour and minute hands, a discreet brand logo, and a “Dutch crafted” inscription. This version also introduces a rounded, onion-style crown that complements the watch’s softer visual character.

The Capri Black Aventurine uses a black aventurine stone dial, identifiable by its fine, crystalline sparkles that catch the light subtly across the surface. Like the Onyx version, it maintains a minimalist time-only display, but is paired with a taller, more angular crown design shared with the third model in the collection.

The Capri Blue stands apart with a lacquered blue dial rather than stone, and a more detailed configuration. Applied hour markers are added, along with a small seconds subdial positioned at six o’clock, giving this version a slightly more technical appearance while retaining the collection’s overall balance and symmetry.

Despite its compact rectangular format, the Capri is powered by a high-end manually wound Swiss movement: the La Joux-Perret D100. This movement offers a 50-hour power reserve and is notable for its thin construction, making it well suited to the Capri’s slim case dimensions. The choice of a mechanical calibre over quartz reinforces the watch’s positioning within the luxury microbrand segment.

Each Capri variant is limited to just 50 pieces, for a total production run of 150 watches. The collection is priced at € 2,195, reflecting the combination of Swiss mechanical movement, low production numbers, and the use of semi-precious materials. With the Capri, De Rijke & Co. delivers a tightly executed rectangular watch that emphasizes proportion, material selection, and mechanical credibility over excess ornamentation.

The AC2 Volcán Marks A New Stone Dial Chapter For Anders & Co

Ricardo Amaral ANDERS & CO., NEW RELEASES 2025, Dress Watch, Microbrands, Quartz, Stone Dials 0

The Swedish brand Anders & Co expands its AC2 collection with the Volcán series, introducing a range of dress watches defined by their use of natural stone dials. Designed with compact proportions, a notably slim profile, and a restrained aesthetic, the AC2 Volcán models place their emphasis on materials and execution while remaining positioned at an accessible price point.

Dial Variants and Layout

The defining feature of the AC2 Volcán collection is its use of stone dials, each cut from a single piece of material to ensure that no two examples are identical. The collection is available in five different stone options: aventurine, turquoise, charoite, rubilite, and red agate. Each stone introduces a distinct visual character, ranging from the sparkling depth of aventurine to the organic swirling patterns of charoite, as well as the saturated hues found in turquoise and red agate.

The dial design itself remains deliberately minimal. Faceted dauphine-style hands are combined with slim applied baton hour markers, while branding is limited to a discreet printed wordmark. This pared-back approach allows the natural stone surface to remain the primary focus. The red agate version is further differentiated by the use of Eastern Arabic numerals, giving this variant a unique identity within the lineup.

Case Design and Dimensions

The AC2 Volcán is housed in a stainless steel cushion-shaped case, a form commonly associated with mid-century dress watches. The case measures 37 mm in width, with a lug-to-lug distance of 44.60 mm, ensuring balanced proportions and a comfortable fit on a wide range of wrist sizes. At just 5.65 mm thick, the watch maintains an ultra-slim profile that allows it to sit close to the wrist and easily slide under a shirt cuff.

Polished surfaces, sharp lines, and well-defined angles give the case a refined appearance, reinforcing the formal nature of the watch while providing enough structure to frame the stone dials effectively.

Movement

Inside the case, the AC2 Volcán is powered by the Miyota 9T22 quartz movement. This caliber was selected primarily for its thin construction, which plays a key role in achieving the watch’s slim overall profile. The absence of a seconds hand contributes to the clean, symmetrical dial layout and helps preserve the traditional appearance expected of a dress watch.

The use of a quartz movement also allows Anders & Co to keep the watch competitively priced while offering reliable and low-maintenance timekeeping.

Strap and Wearability

All models in the AC2 Volcán collection are delivered on a crocodile-embossed leather strap. This choice complements the polished case and minimalist dial design, reinforcing the dress-oriented character of the watch and making it suitable for formal and semi-formal wear.

Pricing and Availability

The Anders & Co AC2 Volcán stone dial models are available now directly from the brand. The standard stone dial versions are priced at € 532.95, while the red agate model featuring Eastern Arabic numerals is priced at € 607.95.

Our Take

The new Anders & Co AC2 Volcán watches present themselves as elegant timepieces that naturally sit within the dress watch category. The decision to omit the seconds hand feels well judged, creating a clean dial that leaves room for ambiguity as to whether the watch is powered by a mechanical or quartz movement—something that, for purists, remains the proverbial elephant in the room. Among the lineup, the Red Agate stands out for us, not only because of its rich tone but also due to the inclusion of Eastern Arabic numerals, a design element we are avowed fans of. While we would like to spend time with the watch in hand to form a more complete assessment, what we have seen so far is certainly convincing.

Vacheron Constantin Introduces New Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin In 36.5mm

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, VACHERON CONSTANTIN 2025, Dress Watch, Moon Phase, Perpetual Calendar, Pink Gold, White Gold 0

Vacheron Constantin has expanded the Traditionnelle collection with two new references of the Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, now presented in 36.50 mm cases without any gem-setting. These models bring the perpetual calendar complication into a smaller, more adaptable format suitable for various wrist sizes while preserving the technical sophistication and classical design language that define the Traditionnelle line.

Case and Design

The new watches are crafted in either white gold or pink gold and measure 36.50 mm in diameter with a thickness of 8.43 mm. Their profile reflects the signature aesthetic of the Traditionnelle family, combining a polished round case with a slim bezel and straight, finely executed lugs. A sapphire caseback reveals the movement inside. The proportions offer a balanced blend of elegance and functionality, presenting a traditional perpetual calendar in a compact and refined size.

Dial Layout and Display

The silver-toned opaline dial follows a structured and symmetrical layout to enhance readability. The month and leap year indicator is positioned at 12 o’clock, the date is shown at 3 o’clock, and the day of the week is placed at 9 o’clock. At 6 o’clock, the moon-phase display is accompanied by an indication of the age of the moon. Each sub-dial features a snailed finish that differentiates the displays, while the time is indicated by faceted Dauphine-style hour and minute hands. Applied gold hour markers contribute to the dial’s classical appearance. A railway-style minutes track runs along the periphery, reinforcing the traditional character of the watch.

Calibre 1120 QP: Ultra-Thin Automatic Perpetual Calendar Movement

Powering the new models is Vacheron Constantin’s calibre 1120 QP, an ultra-thin automatic movement that has long been a benchmark for the Maison’s perpetual calendar creations. The movement is only 4.05 mm thick and is composed of 276 individual components. It operates at a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour (2.75 Hz) and provides a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. In addition to hours and minutes, the calibre drives the perpetual calendar indications for the day, date, month, and leap year, as well as the moon phase and moon age. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement displays traditional finishing such as Côtes de Genève on the bridges. The oscillating weight is crafted in 22k gold, openworked to form the Maltese Cross emblem, and contributes to the overall refinement. The movement is also certified with the Hallmark of Geneva, underscoring its craftsmanship and precision.

Straps and Price

The white gold version is delivered on a light brown alligator leather strap, while the pink gold version is paired with a blue alligator strap. Both straps are fitted with corresponding gold pin buckles. The retail price for each model is CHF 86,500.

Summary

These new additions to the Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin collection offer a refined and traditionally sized perpetual calendar equipped with a historically significant ultra-thin movement. By introducing the complication in a 36.5mm format without gem-setting, Vacheron Constantin broadens the appeal of the Traditionnelle line while maintaining its commitment to classical elegance and technical excellence.

A Limited Edition With Historic Roots: JLC’s Master Control Classic

MRSTATELESS JAEGER-LECOULTRE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Dress Watch, Limited Edition 0

Jaeger-LeCoultre expands its Master Control line with a new limited-edition model that revisits the spirit of the original 1994 reference. The Master Control Classic brings back the clean geometry and understated character of the early Master Control watches, now refined with updated proportions and a modern movement.

A Subtle Evolution of a 1994 Design

Rather than producing a strict reproduction of the 1994 model, Jaeger-LeCoultre has reinterpreted the design for today’s standards. The changes begin with the stainless-steel case, which now measures 36 mm in diameter—an increase of 2 mm over the historical reference. This adjustment preserves the vintage charm while aligning the watch with contemporary expectations for wrist presence and versatility. The case retains the familiar lines of the Master Control series with polished surfaces, slim lugs, and a well-balanced profile designed for everyday wear.

Completing the exterior is a brown ostrich leather strap, chosen for its distinct texture and natural elegance, secured by a steel pin buckle that matches the case.

Refined Silver Dial with Classical Layout

The dial reflects the Master Control’s emphasis on clarity and harmony, featuring a silver sunray-brushed finish that creates subtle light variations as the watch moves. Jaeger-LeCoultre has stayed close to the original 1994 design. The time is indicated by Dauphine-style hour and minute hands, while the central seconds hand appears in a blued steel tone that adds a discreet touch of color. The hour markers take the form of elongated triangles, complemented by Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock. At the 3 o’clock position, a date window maintains the visual balance of the display. Together, these elements create a restrained and practical layout that mirrors the timeless design language of the Master Control family.

Powered by the Updated Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899

Inside the Master Control Classic is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899, one of the manufacture’s longstanding automatic movements. Although the calibre was originally introduced twenty years ago, it has been continuously refined through material updates and technical enhancements. In its current form, it offers a power reserve of 70 hours and benefits from modern reliability improvements. Each movement undergoes testing both as an individual mechanism and once assembled within the case, a process that ensures accuracy in real-world wrist conditions. This focus on precision underscores the brand’s commitment to high-performance watchmaking, even in its most understated models.

Limited Edition and Pricing

The Master Control Classic is produced as a limited edition of 500 pieces. With a retail price of € 9,200, it stands as one of the most accessible models within the Master Control collection, offering collectors an appealing combination of heritage-inspired design and modern horological engineering.

The New Raymond Weil Toccata Heritage Gets A Humorous Makeover

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, RAYMOND WEIL, Uncategorized 2025, Dress Watch, Limited Edition, seconde/seconde/ 0

Raymond Weil expands its Toccata Heritage line with a new collaborative edition created together with contemporary designer seconde/seconde. Known for injecting modern visual humour into classic watchmaking, seconde/seconde adds an unexpected twist to this refined dress watch while preserving the slim, elegant proportions that define the Toccata Heritage collection.

A Slim Elliptical Case Designed for Formal Wear

The Toccata Heritage series is recognized for its elegant curved silhouette, and the new edition maintains these refined proportions. The case measures 33 millimetres in width and 38 millimetres in length, with a thickness of just 6.95 millimetres—dimensions that make it ideal for dress use. Crafted from polished stainless steel, the watch retains the clean and understated aesthetic associated with the line. Its compact size keeps the piece unisex and ensures it slips naturally under a shirt cuff.

A Dial Divided in Two, With a Visual Twist

The standout feature of this edition is its two-part dial, conceptualised by seconde/seconde. Instead of a uniform colour, the dial is split vertically into two contrasting grey finishes.

The left side features a matte grey surface that serves as the backdrop for a bright yellow printed guideline. This vertical line marks the conceptual split in the design and highlights the designer’s humorous approach to traditional dress-watch etiquette.

The right side uses a sunray-finished grey that reflects the light differently, adding visual depth. This half includes a sequence of inscriptions representing varying “cuff positions,” each suggesting a different level of dial exposure beneath a shirt sleeve. These playful references reinterpret a long-running theme among dress-watch enthusiasts while keeping the watch fully functional. The slim hands and applied indices maintain legibility, and the fading minute markers on the darker half reinforce the visual transition. A split “Swiss Made” inscription flanks the 3 o’clock marker, enhancing the symmetry of the overall design.

Hand-Wound Movement With Classic Architecture

Inside the case, the watch uses Raymond Weil’s hand-wound Calibre RW4100, based on the Sellita SW210-1. The movement is just 3.35 millimetres thick, contributing to the overall slim profile of the watch. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of approximately 45 hours.

The solid steel caseback continues the narrative introduced on the dial with a sarcastic message written in seconde/seconde’s signature style. It humorously instructs wearers to “never wind your watch while wearing it,” encouraging them to remove it and wind it “in a dramatic fashion”—a playful jab at the exaggerated rituals sometimes associated with mechanical watch enthusiasts. This unexpected detail adds personality to a watch that otherwise stays true to classical design principles.

Strap and Wearing Comfort

The watch is fitted with a black calfskin leather strap featuring an embossed alligator-style pattern. Paired with a stainless-steel pin buckle, it complements the refined proportions of the case and reinforces the watch’s dress-oriented identity.

Price and Availability

The Raymond Weil Toccata Heritage x seconde/seconde is released as a limited edition, with the exact quantity yet to be communicated by the brand. It is priced at € 1,825.

This collaborative edition blends the refined geometry of the Toccata Heritage with seconde/seconde’s modern graphic humour, resulting in a dress watch that respects tradition while injecting a distinctive and unconventional twist.

Our Take

In our view, this new version carries forward the same elegance that has defined the Toccata Heritage collection since its introduction. The real innovation lies in the dual-tone grey dial and the playful messaging introduced by seconde/seconde, who once again adds a contemporary, humorous edge to a traditionally conservative segment. The sarcastic message on the caseback further amplifies this personality, injecting charm without overshadowing the watch’s heritage-driven aesthetics.

This is a piece for those who admire the classic, minimalist layout of the standard Toccata Heritage but wish for something with more character. The creative dial, combined with seconde/seconde/’s unmistakable humour, brings a livelier, more expressive dimension to the collection.

Laurent Ferrier Introduces The Classic Origin Beige In Rose Gold

MRSTATELESS LAURENT FERRIER, NEW RELEASES 2025, Dress Watch, Dubai Watch Week, Red Gold, Small Seconds 0

To mark its 15th anniversary, Laurent Ferrier expands one of its most emblematic lines with a new addition: the Classic Origin Beige. The Classic Origin family has become a reference point for the brand’s clean design language over the past few years, and this new version continues that trajectory with a refined precious-metal execution.

A Case That Defines the Classic Origin Identity

The Classic Origin Beige retains the familiar proportions of the collection. Its 40 mm case features a smooth, polished bezel and the elegant lugs that have become a signature of the line. The watch also includes the brand’s instantly recognisable ball-shaped crown with fluted edges, a detail that adds subtle character while ensuring comfortable manipulation.

For this anniversary edition, Laurent Ferrier turns to red gold, a warmer variant of rose gold known for its deeper hue. The material choice shifts the Classic Origin toward a more formal, luxurious presence, reinforcing the model’s role as an elegant dress watch within the broader catalogue.

A Soft Beige Dial with Minimalist Restraint

The dial is presented in a beige tone, an understated off-white shade that complements the red gold case. The colour brings warmth without overshadowing the minimalist layout the Classic Origin is known for.

Laurent Ferrier’s signature Assegai-shaped hands, crafted in matching red gold, sweep over the dial with a refined sense of proportion. A small seconds subdial sits at 6 o’clock, also accented in red gold to bring consistency to the overall aesthetic.

Manual Calibre LF116.01

Inside the Classic Origin Beige is the manual-winding calibre LF116.01, a movement appreciated for both its architecture and gentle operating rhythm. Running at 3 Hz, the calibre reflects a traditional approach to watchmaking that allows the balance wheel to breathe more slowly—a choice often associated with visual harmony and mechanical poise.

Despite the lower frequency, the movement delivers a robust 80-hour power reserve, offering more than three days of autonomy when fully wound. The finishing, visible through the exhibition caseback, follows a clean and understated philosophy: chamfered edges, finely executed surfaces, and a layout that aligns with the restrained design of the watch itself.

A Subtle Evolution in a Key Collection

The Classic Origin Beige demonstrates how material and colour changes can give new life to a well-established model. Rather than reworking the design from the ground up, Laurent Ferrier focuses on refinement and coherence — an approach that has long defined the brand’s philosophy.

The new Laurent Ferrier is priced at CHF 43,000 excluding taxes.

A Warm New Look: The Master Ultra Thin Date & Moon In Grained Copper

MRSTATELESS JAEGER-LECOULTRE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Dress Watch, Limited Edition, Moon Phase 0

Jaeger-LeCoultre expands its Master Ultra Thin collection with two refined stainless-steel models: the Master Ultra Thin Date and the Master Ultra Thin Moon. Both watches stay true to the principles of elegant watchmaking, combining thin cases, balanced proportions and understated complications. Their most notable introduction is a new grained copper-coloured dial, which brings a warm, contemporary aesthetic to the classic collection.

A Slim and Balanced Case Design

Both models come in 39 mm stainless-steel cases with the clean lines and gentle curves that have long characterised the Master Ultra Thin family. Although they share the same diameter, their thickness differs slightly due to their respective movements. The Master Ultra Thin Date measures just 7.89 mm in height, while the Master Ultra Thin Moon stands at 9.30 mm. The polished finish highlights the slender profile of the cases and contrasts with the textured dial surface, while the softly curved lugs ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist and reinforce the minimalist, dress-watch identity of the collection.

New Grained Copper Dial With Refined Details

The most striking element of these releases is the new grained copper-coloured dial. Its warm tone and fine matte texture introduce a modern character while maintaining the understated nature expected from the Master Ultra Thin line. The applied hour markers are shaped as elongated trapezoids and stand out clearly against the copper background. They are paired with faceted Dauphine hands, with one facet polished and the other satin-brushed to enhance legibility and add a subtle visual contrast. A discreet black minutes track and matching black inscriptions complete the layout, creating a harmonious balance between contemporary texture and timeless elegance.

Date and Moon Phase Displays

On the Master Ultra Thin Date, the calendar indication appears in a rectangular window positioned at 6 o’clock. The aperture is framed with a thin black outline, and the date numerals are displayed on a white disc for clear readability. The Master Ultra Thin Moon introduces a different arrangement by integrating both the moon phase and date into a recessed sub-dial at 6 o’clock. A steel hand points to a smooth copper-coloured date ring, while the moon phase is depicted on a deep blue night-sky backdrop featuring a silver moon that accurately tracks its cycle. This combined display enriches the visual complexity of the dial without compromising its balance.

In-House Automatic Movements With 70 Hours of Power Reserve

Both models are powered by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s latest-generation automatic movements. The Master Ultra Thin Date is equipped with the calibre 899, while the Master Ultra Thin Moon uses the calibre 925. Each calibre offers an improved power reserve of 70 hours and features an openworked 18k pink gold rotor. The movements are decorated with traditional haute horlogerie finishes, including Côtes de Genève stripes, bevelled bridges and blued screws.

Straps and Limited Edition Details

To complement their refined profiles, both watches are fitted with brown alligator leather straps secured by stainless-steel folding clasps. These new models are offered as limited editions, with 800 pieces available for the Master Ultra Thin Date and another 800 for the Master Ultra Thin Moon. Pricing is set at € 10,400 for the Date version and € 12,600 for the Moon version.

Conclusion

With the introduction of the grained copper-coloured dial, Jaeger-LeCoultre brings a fresh yet timeless appeal to two of its most emblematic ultra-thin models. The combination of sleek construction, refined complications and meticulous finishing makes these limited editions compelling choices for collectors who appreciate classic design with a contemporary twist.
