The new Aston Martin collection welcomes a model embodying Jaeger-LeCoultre’s spirit of innovation: the Master Hometime watch.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Hometime Aston Martin watch immediately stands out for its structured black dial that has become the symbol of a partnership embodied by exceptional horological accomplishments. The sporting nature of the timepiece is accentuated by the brushed, streamlined lugs smoothly extending from the 40 mm-diameter steel case.
The indications also feature the collection’s characteristic colours: black, white and a hint of red designed to instantly draw the gaze towards the sought-after information – whether the reference time that is easier to read because of the crimson-tipped open-worked hand dedicated to displaying the time zone of the place of residence. To avoid any errors of interpretation on the other side of the world, it is combined with a 24-hour counter occupying the upper part of the dial, while the lower part is devoted to the running seconds.
The time indications are adjusted in one-hour increments, either forwards or backwards, in order to display local time immediately upon reaching a given destination.
When the traveller returns, performing the reverse adjustment brings the two hours hands back to their superimposed position. The eye thus perceives only one and the timepiece is once again showing a single time zone until the next long-distance trip.
The elegant JLC Master Hometime Aston Martin watch, powered by automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 975H, perfectly illustrates the virtues shared by the two brands: innovation, reliability and performance – as testified by their signatures appearing side by side at 3 o’clock.
