When talking about luxury, the most common things we could think about are those glittering stuff set with gold, jewelery or diamonds. But Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre thinks much bigger, they offer you the whole night sky in the form of a dedicated timepiece. That’s the new Grand Complication watch from the Master Grand Tradition watch line.

A Grand Complication generally consists of three complications: a perpetual calendar, a minute repeater and a chronograph or a tourbillon. The JLC Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication is mainly such a standard model but is animated with slight modifications and innovative designs.

Sky-chart Dial
Like other watches, it attracts me by its unique watch face. It’s hard to not praise the dedicated craftsmanship of its galactic dial that depicts the constellations of the northern hemisphere. This is really a brilliant interpretation of luxury. After all, what would be more luxury than owning the whole night sky full of stars? I think Jaeger-LeCoultre should really consider launch another watch with simliar designs for ladies because that would be a killing present for ladies – they are always looking forward to picking the stars, aren’t they?

Instead of showing a perpetual calendar, the watch shows a zodiac calendar outside edge of the sky-chart dial. A small sun is rotating along the zodiac signs with a month indication.

Tourbillon
Different from the general tourbillon that counts 24 hours a day, or the Solar time, the flying tourbillon on Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication counts the sidereal time, which is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds. This is the first time a haute horlogerie indicates the celestial time through the tourbillon.

Minute Repeater
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication incorporates an innovative minute repeater results from five years of research. With the innovative crystal gong and “trebuchet” hammers, the minute repeater is able to produce a louder and more euphonious sound with improved water resistance.

Overall, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication can be called true by true horology art. However, it is limited to only 75 examples, with an estimated list price over 100,000 dollars.
