Calling all dress watch enthusiasts: Jaeger-LeCoultre just released what could potentially be our favorite dress watch of 2023, the new Master Ultra Thin Moon in pink gold, featuring a gradient midnight blue dial.

Of course, the focal point of the timepiece is the dial as it features long, tapered triangles for hour markers, applied ‘JL’ logo, and Dauphine hands. The minutes are elegantly indicated by applied golden dots. The moon phase display adds an additional layer of detail and refinement, contrasting subtly with the sunray dial’s deep blue and the mirror-polished moon disc. The date function, displayed on a ring around the moon-phase aperture, maintains perfect aesthetic equilibrium and serves as a focal point for the watch’s main complication. The 39mm pink gold case sports a slim profile, combined with a blend of polished and brushed surfaces, ensuring that it maintains a commanding presence on the wrist. The case perfectly complements the rich blue of the dial, creating a harmonious visual ensemble that exudes sophistication.

The timepiece is fitted with an alligator strap in a shade that precisely matches the dial — a thoroughly curated choice that allows wearers to change the strap effortlessly, providing versatility in that the watch seamlessly fits any occasion or attire.

At the heart of the Master Ultra Thin Moon lies the new-generation Caliber 925, an in-house automatic movement developed and produced entirely by Jaeger-LeCoultre. This high-performing movement boasts an impressive 70 hours of power reserve, ensuring that this timepiece keeps impeccable time, even during periods of inactivity. The transparent case-back offers a captivating view of the movement’s exquisite 18-karat pink gold oscillating weight, as well as the meticulously decorated and finished components. This glimpse into the watch’s inner workings serves as a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to horological craftsmanship and innovation.
