If there is a watch which is almost never discussed, the Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater is certainly one of them. Unveiled in 2009, 4 years after the Master Minute Repeater in platinum, it came as a surprise. And surprisingly, its case and dial d...

The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater Regulateur and the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon à Quantième Perpétuel. Indeed, a man of good taste. I only watch the show to support my wife and look at the JLC's!
