The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Sector Dial (Ref. 176.8.40.S) is a standout modern interpretation of classic mid-century design, produced as a limited edition under the brand’s prestigious Master Control line. Introduced in 2017 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Master Control collection, this reference features a beautifully balanced sector dial—a design language rooted in vintage chronometers—with crisp black tracks, blued steel hands, and applied hour markers. The watch’s 40mm stainless steel case offers a harmonious blend of contemporary proportions and retro styling, all housed under a domed sapphire crystal.
Powering the watch is the in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 899/1, a thin, automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve and a focus on precision and reliability. The watch comes complete with its original box and papers, making it a compelling choice for collectors. With its elegant simplicity, versatile sizing, and historical nod to 1930s-1940s design, the Master Control Sector Dial has become one of the most desirable modern JLC releases—bridging the past and present of this storied manufacture.
