ALTHOUGH THE REVERSO stands as Jaeger-LeCoultre's most recognised icon, the Master Control collection, taking its namesake from the then-new 1,000-Hour Control certification created a classically beautiful line of round watches which formed yet another one of the brand's emblematic watchmaking pillars.

Introduced in 1992, the Master Control series revolutionized the way in which reliability of automatic wristwatches were tested. With an arduous period lasting six weeks, the watches are cased and rigorously examined under many different conditions, a system subsequently incorporated throughout the full range of watches and which are an exemplar of the Maison's fine watchmaking promise to its customers. Thirty years since the collection it inspired was born, the Master Control Date and Master Control Calendar have eschewed its classic silver, almost opaline, dials for a trendy new blue face.
