17+ hour, 35+ min ago (169+ words) A grained copper dial gives these longstanding models a small but meaningful shift in character. We've seen a lot of great watches this year, but when a brand like Jaeger-LeCoultre updates a core line, you sit up and take notice. The new Master Ultra Thin Date (ref. Q1238460) and Master Ultra Thin Moon (ref. Q1368460) arrive with a fresh look, featuring copper-toned grained dials. The update really shows up on the dial.

On the Moon model, the moon phase sits over a deep blue sky with the date wrapped around it. They come on brown alligator straps with tool-free quick release and steel folding buckles. Both are available now, "10,500 / $10,400 for the…...

At the 1993 opening of Baselworld'then the horological industry's largest trade show'an apoplectic Gerald Genta stormed into Audemars Piguet's booth, screaming, "You killed my Royal Oak!

"When I was a kid, I wanted to be a cook or a singer," he says. "I sing very…...
