Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date watch, the original order one. Let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. I got my hands on it a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been wearing it almost every day since.
First off, I gotta say, this thing is thin. Like, really thin. I mean, it says “Ultra Thin” right in the name, but you don’t really get it until you actually strap it on your wrist. It slips under a shirt cuff like it’s not even there.
I started by just admiring it, you know? Turning it over in my hands, checking out the way the light hits the dial. The finishing is pretty good, I guess. I was reading somewhere that this brand is like, super high-end, up there with some big names. Maybe they were just saying that, but the quality seems okay to me.
- I wound it up, which was smooth, no grinding or anything.
- Set the date, which was also easy. Just a couple of clicks.
- Then I just started wearing it. To work, to the grocery store, even just around the house.
The watch definitely feels good on the wrist. It’s light, comfortable, and it doesn’t get in the way. I’ve worn it with a suit, with jeans and a t-shirt, and it seems to work with both. I guess that’s what they mean when they say it’s versatile. I read some stuff online about how people who wear these watches value quality. I think so, it feels good on my wrist, and the accuracy seems okay. It hasn’t lost any noticeable time in the past couple weeks.
Honestly, I just wanted a nice watch, and this one seems to fit the bill. I wasn’t really looking for anything too flashy, and this is pretty understated.
Conclusion?
I’m no watch expert, but I like it. It looks good, it feels good, and it keeps time. What more could you ask for, right?
