2 improved pictures of the Jaeger Lecoultre Master 8 Days Perpetual Calendar Skeleton.
Bigger size picture, cleaned, reworked... This watch is a marvel.
I saw it at the SIHH, in 2007, which was a terrific year for the Manufacture, as Jaeger Lecoultre unveiled the Master Compressor Extreme Lab One, the Duometre à Chronographe, another version of the Amvox II, the DBS, and, last but not least... The Gyrotourbillon 2, among other watches...
It was love at third sight, as love at first sight was for or with the Duometre à Chronographe and the Extreme Lab One. I knew I will have the Duometre, that was clear to me, and I worked on the idea to get the 8 Days Perpetual Skeleton. Which happened in September 2009.
I have something for the Perpetual Skeletons: I am totally in love with the Royal Oak PC Skeleton, for example. But this Jaeger Lecoutlre was, in my heart, a bit above, because of its 8 Days movement, which is a plus for a perpetual calendar, as it allows you to wind it only once each 8 or 9 days.
Some will say that it is not the most legible perpetual calendar, and I agree on that point. But since we admire time more than we read it...
It is one of these watches I regret having let it go... I never found a perpetual calendar which enchanted me more than this one...
Best,
Nicolas

I totally agree on the 8 day movement putting this one over the top.
I wish I could see it one day in the flesh. Nice photos. M4
Brilliant.
Those were I think the best years for JLC thus far, totally enamored with most of what they introduced back then. Thank you for the supreme images, cheers, Filip
thanks for these beautiful pics
it is a really appealing piece. The complication doesn't speak to me, it is the reason why I prefer the MR with a similar style Thanks Fx
That movement it's quite a show, front and back view.
I remember it was not easy to read at all, but who cared? Thanks for sharing these nice pics. Best, Vte
