Post #36 Perpetual calendar check 2
A slightly belated check up of the perpetual calendar function on my two Jaeger leCoultre pieces, the Master Grand Revail and the Master Uktra Slim. Both show time around 6pm of March 3rd, 2024, suggesting that they both properly recognized February 29th, the leap day. Moon phase needs some investigation, I think.

Having two of these beauties is a blessing. Having to reset the moon phase is a labor of love. Wear them well.
If I had a perpetual calender, would definitely have e a watch winder to keep it current. I am looking at the Longines perpetual
I just checked out the JLC Master Ultra Thin yesterday at a JLC boutique, it looks amazing. Tremendous value for the price.

Actually, I do have both of them on a watch winder, almost 90% of the year. The problem is that perpetual mechanisms do sometimes fail. My Grand Reveil, after a house cleaner knocked down a winder with the watch in it, had to be repaired in Switzerland. It cost me about $USD 2,500 including the air freight from Japan and back. Hopefully it will not fail anymore.
I just saw your images. Beautiful! Two horological masterpieces!
