Dwndler shares a troubleshooting experience with a recently acquired Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar Q151842A, noting an issue where the month display did not advance automatically with the date. This post delves into the intricacies of perpetual calendar complications and the importance of proper function.
which I manually (by pressing the button at 2) corrected to April and I thought it is the way it's suppose to be.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Q151842A is a distinguished example of the Master Calendar series, known for its comprehensive display of calendar functions within a balanced dial layout. This reference integrates day, date, month, and moon phase indications, presenting a sophisticated yet legible face that adheres to the Master Control collection's principles of precision and reliability. It represents a period in the Master Calendar's evolution before later design updates, maintaining a classic aesthetic favored by many collectors.
This timepiece features a stainless steel case with a 40mm diameter, housing the self-winding Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 924. This movement provides a power reserve of approximately 43 hours, ensuring consistent performance for its multiple complications. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the silver dial, while the watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, suitable for everyday wear. The construction emphasizes durability and functional clarity.
For collectors, the Q151842A appeals to those seeking a traditional full calendar watch from a respected manufacture. Its design is characteristic of Jaeger-LeCoultre's commitment to horological utility without excessive ornamentation. The reference offers a complete calendar experience, making it a notable piece for enthusiasts appreciating mechanical complexity and classical proportions within the Master Control family.
The Master Moon and both Master Calendar models all adjust the month after 31 days, which means that there are 5 months when you will need to adjust the date forward via the corrector at 4 o'clock. The months are supposed to advance automatically as the date goes to the 1st of each month. It sounds like something has gotten out of alignment. I would ship it to JLC and see about getting that fixed. -Dean
Do you know if moon phase is connected to date and month change? As I adjusted moon phase the day I got the watch and than might have done something to month change. I will take the watch to local AD first to find out if they can fix it.
Have a serious problem. Sorry for the bad news. Best, Nicolas

They said approximately 6 weeks of waiting time so I have to do without the watch for 6 weeks.
