The highly acclaimed Jaeger-LeCoultre watch factory has launched the new Master Grande Tradition à Quantième Perpétuel 8 Days SQ, a superb traditional perpetual calendar eight-day power reserve skeleton master series watch, once again showing its rich and exquisite craftsmanship. The new model draws inspiration from the superbly sophisticated antique pocket watches from 1928. Eighty-six years later, the master of hollowwork and enamel crafted a masterpiece of contemporary fine watchmaking with his dexterous hands, limited to 200 pieces.

Engraving and hollowing out
Masters of engraving and hollowing out craftsmanship focus on meeting a brand new technical and technological challenge. Engraving master Dominique Vuez explained: ‘It is true that it requires superb craftsmanship to remove as much of the ‘excess’ as possible without affecting the quality of the movement.’ Engraving masters have their own know-how. ‘For customers, it is better to see more details. However, when we hollow out a mechanical movement, we must ensure that its solidity and reliability are not affected.’ The designer of the mechanical movement requested the relevant documents and then judged which parts could be drilled and which parts of the parts could be removed. With the assistance of the watchmakers in the complication watch workshop, he elaborated on every minute detail on sketches and designs. Of course, he also has many years of accumulated experience, and inherited the tradition of the watch factory’s predecessors, using similar processes to complete various intricate hollowing processes.

In addition to showing the highest level of craftsmanship, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition à Quantième Perpétuel 8 Days SQ outstanding traditional perpetual calendar eight-day power reserve skeleton master series watch reflects the unparalleled aesthetic standards, trying to pay tribute to the 1928 model, at the same time prove The big workshop can fully express the watchmaking process.

After completing the detailed hollow-out design drawings, the master of hollow-out and his team began to carry out this delicate work with traditional wire saws and files, removing the ‘excess parts’ point by point. In the process of hollowing out, if you are not careful, it may fail. All parts are then manually chamfered, polished, and engraved. As the process continues to progress, this masterpiece of many watchmaking techniques has slowly taken shape.

Enamel Craft
The next step is to process the platinum rings that decorate the dial and case back. First, these delicate parts were carefully hand-chiseled, and then decorated with a large fire ‘infill’ enamel process. Enamel master Miklos Merczel and his team used very fine brushes to apply enamel paint to the surface of the parts. The parts are then fired repeatedly in the kiln until the desired blue color is obtained. The temperature of each roasting in the kiln is between 800 and 820 degrees Celsius. Excessively high temperatures may cause cracks or impurities to appear and damage the work. The parts were then carefully sanded with diamond powder. The enamel craftsmanship requires the patience and detail of the craftsmen, and the most experienced enamel craftsman in the watch factory takes two days to produce the enamel ring that surrounds the dial and the movement.

After that, a master watchmaker from a complication watch workshop brought more than 200 parts including hairsprings, levers, formula wheels, pinions and gear sets, and exquisite works by Dominique Vuez and Miklos Merczel. Assembled together. If anyone thinks that the ticking workmanship is complete, then he is wrong. Because the assembled timepiece needs to be sent to the Jaeger-LeCoultre 1000-hour test department for meticulous functional testing and stress testing. The inspectors in this department are very strict because they must always adhere to the high quality standards of the watch factory. After passing the test, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition à Quantième Perpétuel 8 Days SQ superb traditional perpetual calendar eight-day power reserve skeleton master series watch was officially born.
