An old picture of the Jaeger Lecoultre " Antoine Lecoultre " Master Eight Days Perpetual Calendar, platinum.

I honestly have no dream for this year. My long time dream was...

...the Grande Reverso Calendar which JLC has kindly produced already. For this year, any round watch with moonphase will do. If they can put in that hand-winding, 8 days movement with sunray finishing like in the Master Eight Days Perpetual 40 then great.

JLC models moonphase accuracy question

A few hours ago a friend of mine forced me to revisit the issue of moonphase accuracy on our watches. I understand with some but not 100% clarity that it is governed by the number of teeth on the moonphase wheel of the movement, and that the kind with 59

Perpetual Calendars: How do you like them?

Looking at the past and present JLC catalogs provides you a huge sensation of dizzyness, when it comes to Perpetual Calendars. All the materials have been used, at the exception of Titanium, though, as well as the case shapes, to hilight this complication

So I just picked up my new stainless steel Master Eight Days Perpetual from an AD in Chicago . . . reserved it six months ago on a whim and it finally got here! At first I was concerned that the 40mm size would be a bit diminutive but due to the narrow be
