If you’ve ever wanted to wear the night sky on your wrist, Jaeger-LeCoultre has something magical for you. Introducing their latest masterpiece, the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945, reimagined with a divine dark blue enamel dial set in luxurious pink gold. Limited to just five pieces, it’s more exclusive than a Kardashian wedding.
The artistic redesign showcases a magnificent three-level dial featuring a Cosmotourbillon – don’t worry, this isn’t something out of a sci-fi movie. It’s essentially a celestial tourbillon that performs an anti-clockwise orbit in a single sidereal day. This is paired with a Northern Hemisphere sky chart, making sure you always know if Virgo is giving you a hard time.
Inside this mechanical marvel, the tourbillon is secured only from the movement side, providing an unblemished view of its kinetic splendor. Powered by 73 components nestled in a lightweight titanium carriage, the monometallic balance wheel beats at 4Hz – a symphony of precise engineering.
Not stopping at just stargazing, Jaeger-LeCoultre has also included a minute repeater. Yes, this means you can tell the time by ear. Chimed automatically with patented innovations like crystal gongs, it’s music to a watch lover’s ears.
Wrapped in a 45mm x 16.05mm case, made with over 80 parts, the case is just as much an art piece as what it encases. It features a mix of micro-blasted, polished, and satin-brushed surfaces to play with light, complementing the artistic dial beautifully. The case keeps things uncluttered – all functions are managed through the crown, leaving the left side for activating the minute repeater.
For €670,000 in Germany (or €675,000 in Austria, because clearly borders add a bit of extra sparkle), owning the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945 is like cradling a universe on your wrist. Jaeger-LeCoultre has managed to capture not just time, but the wonders of the cosmos combined with the artistry that the brand is renowned for. It’s a testament to their genius in marrying functionality with artistic flair. Just don’t wear it to the gym, okay?
