Master Grande Tradition
Calibre 985
Overview
The epitome of watchmaking
The outstanding Master Grande Tradition watch calibres are made up of several hundred components, with the most complicated having almost 600. Epitomising the Maison’s spirit of innovation, this complexity is achieved without compromising the level of decoration and finishing of each component of the movement. The refined dial is elegant and pure while the sapphire glass back offers a glimpse into true watchmaking mastery.


Heritage
The watchmaker of watchmakers
Always striving to surpass itself, La Grande Maison has created more than 1260 calibres and registered over 400 patents. From the very beginning, our master craftsmen and women have created exceptional calibres which were sold to the great Swiss watchmakers, earning Jaeger-LeCoultre the nickname of "Watchmaker of Watchmakers". The calibres of the Master Grande Tradition collection are the result of this expertise, bringing almost 200 years of savoir-faire to craft truly exceptional swiss luxury watches.

Made in our Manufacture
From its calibre to its case, every Jaeger‑LeCoultre luxury watch is designed, manufactured and assembled under one roof, at our Manufacture in the Vallee de Joux. Our obsession with quality is renowned as every Jaeger‑LeCoultre model undergoes strict “1,000 Hour Control” testing. This unique program provides internal certification tests that far exceed official chronometry tests.
It includes movement testing before and after casing and extends throughout assembly, according to conditions that match daily wear. A quality seal is engraved on the back of every watch once it meets our strict standards.
