Master Control 1000 Hours Hometime - a pioneer in watchmaking, Jaeger-LeCoultre set new benchmarks in reliability. Upon completion, every single one of their watches must pass the severe master control test programme, where the watches undergo the most demanding testing for a 1000 hours. The master control test is superior to the official chronometer test, which only tests the movement. Jaeger-LeCoultre tests the finished watch in its case and with hands.
This example is in excellent, almost mint condition and has been rarely worn. The dial is clear and well laid out. Between 9 and 11 o'clock is the day/night indication with sun/moon hands, at 4 o'clock is a date window. The small second, classically positioned at 6 o'clock, has a crosshair division.
