TEST OF TIME

The auction house’s first two virtual watch sales totalled an impressive US$2.2 million

During these two watch sales, 95 per cent of lots were sold, with more than half achieving prices above their high estimate

Jaeger-lecoultre’s Master Control might not be the watchmaker’s oldest collection, but it’s one of its most timeless. Launched in 1992, Master Control has remained popular thanks to its modern features (a silicon escapement, an extended power reserve and more) and clean design, which is inspired by the round watches popularised in the 1950s that—let’s face it—go with anything and everything. For Watches & Wonders 2020, JLC has added a new pink gold alloy to the collection, dubbed Le Grand Rose gold, and has upped each watch’s power reserve to a convenient 70 hours. Outstanding!
