Vintage Jaeger LeCoultre - Master Control 1000 Hours Chronograph - Pictorial
This JLC Chrono was produced in the 1990's very thin, and very quartz. At 34mm she wears a lot bigger.
Simple round button chronograph, registers, tachometer, date and a stainless steel can't be an more basic than that.
The dial sports a nice matte silver backdrop with applied pink gold dart indexes with tritium-coated dots and an Arabic "12". Finally the movement Cal. 630 with quartz standardization, 25 jewels with a mechanical chronograph mechanism.
Enjoy.

Nice one Bill!
You can clearly see where the new Master Chronograph got its looks from… J Thanks for sharing. Best Blomman...

The whole Master Control series all seem to have the same design pedigree which is (to use the undesirable D word) in their DNA. But I guess that is what make one brand's watches recognizable in such a crowded market. Here is another JLC with the same sig...
Very rare find, congrats [nt]
Cal 630 introduced in 1987 (size 24x3,7 mm) Kyros, Heraion and Odysseus range.
If there is one watch I don't know very well, this is this one, Bill.
And it is a pity, because it looks very nice and interesting! The funny thing is that when you compare it to the new Master Chrono, there are several similarities, and among them, the location of the Date, and, of course, the overall look. Thanks for shar...
You can clearly see the origins of the New JLC Master Chrono
I had not paid close attention to the similarities. I will have to take a closer look and see who the date wheel position plays out in other JLC designs. If anyone has any pictures handy.. Please feel free to add them. Thanks Bill
If we go back to the Past, I'm sure we would find some very close looking
Chronos... I found one with box and papers from 1967, with no date, but looking close. Will try to ask my friend to let me take some pics of his beauty, or better, will try to guy it. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thanks Bill
Can't wait for the new Chrono to hit the shops; have to see that one in the flesh. This one; I haven't seen it before and it looks suberb. Is that a blue tachy? Damn that looks great! Best, Starman
