Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture will offer a unique piece for the Only Watch 2019 charity auction: the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel Chestnut.

This white gold piece is instantly charming with its hand-guillochéd enamel dial in a striking chestnut colour.

In keeping with the emblematic aesthetic codes of the Master Ultra Thin collection, this new piece highlights the talents of the manufacture’s artisans who work together in the Rare Handcrafts (Métiers Rares) workshop. The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel Chestnut captivates as soon as the gaze lands on its generously sized dial, perfectly adapted to the different lifestyles of men today.

The timepiece’s perfectly balanced hand-guillochéd dial gives pride of place to four beautifully proportioned counters, including a new display of the perpetual calendar at 12 O’Clock. At 6 O’Clock, there is a subtle moon phase that simultaneously indicates the moon’s waxing and waning phases in both hemispheres.

The workmanship on the engraved counter is enhanced by the scintillating sparkle of the dial’s beautiful chestnut brown translucent enamel. The full splendour of the sunburst guilloché radiates on the dial, providing the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel Chestnut with an impression of relief and depth.

The guillochage work was carried out by hand on both the dial and the counters by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s artisans, who bring all of their expertise to bear with rare precision. Under the patronage of Prince Albert II of Monaco, the eighth edition of the biennial and charitable Only Watch event will go on a promotional world tour, with stops in Europe, the US, Asia and the Middle East. The programme, which kicked off in Monaco in September, will come to a close in Geneva from November 7 to 9, where the charity auction will take place. The proceeds will go towards medical research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Association monégasque contre les myopathies.
