"Few watchmakers capture the poetry of time quite like Jaeger-LeCoultre, and with the unveiling of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948, the Swiss Maison has created a masterpiece that transforms global timekeeping into an art form. Limited to just 20 examples, this exceptional creation embodies the brand's long-standing devotion to craftsmanship, technical ingenuity, and artistic refinement. Beyond its stunning aesthetic, the Calibre 948 represents a seamless convergence of artistry and engineering-a world time watch that doesn't simply display global time but reimagines it."
"At first glance, the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 immediately draws the eye to its mesmerizing dial-a visual symphony of enamel, engraving, and movement. The centerpiece is a finely detailed representation of the world's continents, rendered through the ancient art of champlevé enamel. Each landmass has been delicately carved into the metal base before being filled with layers of colored enamel and meticulously fired, creating a depth and texture that brings the map to life."
The Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 is a 20-piece limited world-time wristwatch that pairs haute horlogerie with fine enameling and engraving. Continents are rendered in champlevé enamel, each landmass carved into the metal base, filled with layered colored enamel, and fired to create depth and texture. Oceans are rendered on a rotating disc with a wavy guilloché pattern that catches light like rippling water. The layered construction produces a pronounced three-dimensional dial. The automatic Calibre 948 synchronizes the world map, city ring, and flying tourbillon on a precise 24-hour cycle, marrying artistic craftsmanship with technical precision.
