Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic 205L570 Showcase Review

See this watch online: https://goo.gl/7cpfhL Greetings, and welcome to the world of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Today, I'll be your guide to the Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic. 46 millimeters in black ceramic. You can see this in the entire family of Jaeger-LeCoultre fine timepieces on our website, govbergwatches.com. The watch starts with a blackened titanium pin buckle for easy on-the-fly adjustability. When your wrist expands or contracts in hot or cold weather, active or inactive times, you can rapidly correct the size of the watch to suit. The sports style strap is of calfskin featuring a double stitch, an embossed pattern on the top, and a natural calf grain on the bottom. Supple and comfortable against the skin. It transitions to a case that's designed to wear well on a smaller wrist, in spite of its bold 46 millimeter proportions. Now, lugs taper tightly [inaudible 00:00:57] at the flank of the case, so the watch wears well even on smaller wrists. The lightness of ceramic allows the watch to feel a size smaller than it actually is. Now, the ceramic has another benefit in that it is an extremely hard, high-tech material. Its matte finish belies its hardness. The watch, exceptionally scratch resistant in the same sense that sapphire is scratch resistant. The watch is designed in conjunction with its rose gold accents to be both tough and elegant in equal measure. Now the timepiece is water resistant to 10 bar or 100 meters, sufficient for aggressive water-borne activity, short of outright professional diving and just does the matte finish of the case is handsome understated and guarantees a low glare in use, so to does the multi-layered dial feature a matte finish for minimal reflectivity in direct sunlight and maximum contrast in any light. Fully luminescent. Moving inboard, you could see large quadrilateral trapezoid style indices, marking the stations of the hours, and a tri-register chronograph, hours, minutes, and seconds. Seconds at center. Hours at nine o'clock. Minutes at three o'clock. The watch is not just a chronograph. It is also a GMT. Taking the rose gold compressor crown in hand, and withdrawing to the intermediate position, you can see how the GMT hand can be set independently of the local hour hand and super imposed such that when you don't need a second time zone you can easily make it disappear. Now, if you continue to drive that second timezone hand, you'll note that the aperture just below 12 o'clock slowly transitions from day to night, giving day/night distinction for the reference timezone. So, you don't make any exceptionally late night wake-up calls to friends or business associates in far flung locales. The high contrast rose gold hands at center also provide outstanding legibility in light, low light, or no light conditions thanks to the luminescent inserts. Now, the watch features Jaeger-LeCoultre's patented and exclusive compressor crown technology. As you can see, my hands being gloved, I dearly appreciate the ease of using the winglet system. Unlike a conventional tight, screwed-down crown, this is an easy crown to use when your hands are gloved or wet or sweaty, most apprapo for a sports watch. A simple half turn and the watch attains its 100-meter water resistance. You could see its color coded too. White, you're tight. Red, you're dead, if you will. It makes it easy to recognize when your watch is not hermetically sealed and just as easy to ensure that it is. Now, the chronograph is powered by the manufactured caliber 757 automatic twin barrel chronograph movement. It boasts a 65-hour power reserve, which is significantly more than the industry standard of 38 to 42 hours of autonomy. It features unidirectional winding action more efficient than bidirectional, plus ceramic rotor bearings for higher efficiency operation and reduced maintenance needs. It features not just a chronograph functionality, not just a long power reserve and not just a GMT, but hacking or stop seconds and a quick set date as well as a robust free sprung architecture that ensures it can take and hold a more precise regulation than a mobile index in the face of vibrations, bumps, and disruptions on wrist. This is a full-featured and handsome timepiece. A large watch that wears well on a small wrist, a black watch that includes the elegance of rose gold accents and a manufacture chronograph that offers a mass of information, easily accessible at a glance.
