Jaeger-LeCoultre unveils thinnest watch

STRIPPED to the bare essentials for all to see, but with an artistic touch. Which is how Jaeger-LeCoultre sums up its new Master Ultra Thin Squelette model.

This is not just another beautifully crafted skeletal timepiece. At just 3.6mm thick, it's also the world's thinnest hand-wound mechanical watch.

But JLC seems coy about shouting about it, confining the announcement of its latest Master Ultra Thin watch to highlighting the close encounter of the watchmaking art and rare handcrafts.
