I have observed that many watch enthusiasts begin focusing on Jaeger LeCoultre watches right after buying a Rolex or an Omega. And honestly, I understand why they do so. Jaeger LeCoultre timepieces have a unique style that makes every person wearing them loom special. If you don’t know what Jaeger LeCoultre model suits you better, I can help you with some statistical insights about people’s preferences. As it turned out, some models attract watch enthusiasts more than others models.
These refer to the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control featuring 899 movements, Jaeger LeCoultre Reserve de Marche with clone 938 movements, and the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Q1368420. These 3 models are the most versatile, as far as it seems, and watch enthusiasts never refuse to add one of them to their replica watch collections. I’d be honored to describe them to you in this article. So, if you didn’t take a closer look at them until now, it’s high time to do so.
Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control/ 899 movement replica watches
In fact, this is the first time this model appears in our AAAReplica collection. Our replica manufacturing partners have recently offered us a tranche of these three-hand automatic replica watches and I must say they look gorgeous. Those who aren’t new to this hobby will find their quality worthy of all respect. Also, those who plan to have their first replica watch have the chance to get a great first experience with them.
These watches come in a stainless steel case and let me tell you that their design completely meets all my aesthetic standards. I’m fond of simple and clean three-hand timepieces combining perfectly the casual and elegant style. So, this is about them: simplicity and elegance. These feature a clean white dial and a bright brown leather strap, looking more than dressy on the wrist. In addition, these have an imposing dimension, making them look “observable” on the man’s wrist.
So, the watch case has a 40mm diameter, which is pretty generous for a dress timepiece. In addition, it visually looks, even more, bigger because of the 10mm thickness and the white minimalist dial. The case of the Master Control replica is all mirror-polished. The same is the bezel, which lacks any “heavy” adorations. On the other hand, the case sides feature a brushed finish, offering a soft and delicate contrast. Looking at the lugs, I can see an accurate and streamlined design. At the same time, I have to say that the manufacturers have done a great job in melding the lugs. These look nice and perfectly close to the genuine models. In addition, I can’t spot any single burr on the edges of the lugs as they are greatly polished. So, a potential discomfort on the wrist is simply excluded.
Replica watch dial
Now that I look closer at the dial, I can spot that I was wrong in saying it was clean white. In fact, it is silver-white. By adding the silver tone, the brand has added a sort of exquisiteness. The large dial plate would probably look boring with the usual white and minimalist functions. Thus, the silver effect complements the whole picture with a touch of sophistication.
I like the gorgeous arrow-shaped hour markers. Didn’t see many watches with such a shape, so I find them attractive and unconventional. In addition, I must say that the manufacturers have done great work cutting them accurately so that these look three-dimensional under different angles. In fact, the dial also has three Arabic numerals located at the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions. Instead of the 3 o’clock, you’ll find the date silver-framed aperture and Black-font date markers.
Good to know that all the hour markers can be easily seen in the dark as they come accompanied by luminous round dots along them. So, in dark conditions, the watch looks simply alluring.
Inside movement
This replica watch runs on the cloned JL 899 caliber. In fact, the core movement is a Miyota 9015 with smooth and accurate movement plates and nice-looking decorations on the auto rotor. Those who are new to the hobby should know that this type of movement is highly reliable and registers significantly fewer technical issues, in comparison to other types of movements designed for replica watches.
Strap
What I like the most about the brown leather strap of this Jaeger LeCoultre replica watch is that the stitching is lids brown. It looks soft, sophisticated, and extremely delicate. In addition, you’ll see an inscription on the back side of each strap saying “genuine Leather Swiss-made Strap”. Touching the strap is so satisfying, as it is made of calfskin leather, which is extremely soft and malleable. Some customers have already asked if there is a black strap for this replica watch. Not yet. But, honestly, I wouldn’t opt for one. Even though the combination of stainless steel with a black strap is a classic one, I find the brown version unusual and far more attractive.
Jaeger LeCoultre Reserve De Marche Replica Watches
Another captivating model from our replica collection is the Reserve de Marche model. I’m glad to say that the one in my hand has the most correct thickness I have ever seen. I was comparing our replica watch with other manufacturers’ and I concluded that not all replica manufacturers can reproduce the thickness accurately. Our replica model comes with a 9,9 mm thickness. This means that it is identical to the genuine ad that’s just great knowing that there are deviations. So, we are lucky to have this one in our store.
Comparing the models, the Reserve de Marche might not be as popular as the Master Control. Either way, watch enthusiasts loving captivating dials are true fans of it.
This model comes with a back leather strap, solving the problems of those who don’t consider brown straps. Here, we can also see a silver-white dial, with the same arrow-shaped hour markers. But, unlike the previous model, the Reserve de Marche lacks Arabic numerals as well as the date aperture on the dial. Instead, There are two round sub-dials and a 1/4 power reserve indicator. The latter is added as an adoration, while the two ones are completely functional.
Moon Phase Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Q1368420
Now that we have talked about the previous watch’ thickness, I propose to go on with the same line and have a look at the Ultra Thin Q1368420 model. It comes with a Miyota movement and I must say that plenty of customers that got familiar with this type have given a lot of positive feedback about its reliable functioning.
What customers need to know is that both the 9015 and 82 Miyota versions aren’t resistant by default to complicated functions other than date and time functions. In the same context, manufacturers create such a specific construction of these movements, that these have a lot of room for modifications. One such modification can be seen in the Q1368420 replica watch. It basically runs on a Miyota 9125 that has been modified to support the moon phase function. With some changes in the date display function, the moon phase was successfully added.
All this might sound a little bit complex for watch enthusiasts that are not deeply familiar with movement specifications. So, I probably won’t get any deeper with this technical explanation. Either way, what you, as a potential customer, need to know is that the cement of the Master Ultra Thin Q1368420 turned out to be far more reliable than expected, registering daily errors of no more than 10 Spd.
Other specifications
As for the rest, the replica watch is also a dress timepiece featuring a pretty clean face. Unlike the previous models, this one is a bit tinier, coming in a 39mm stainless steel case. The whole picture is a typical classic combination: bright stainless steel and black leather strap. Instead of hour markers, we can see raised and subtle triangles. The whole accent falls on the moon phase coated at the 6 o’clock marker and the logo+ brand engraving under the 12 o’clock index. That is all this model has and that is all this model needs. Nothing less and nothing more; just a great addition to any formal event and business suite.
