The Ultimate Elegant Watch for the Perfect Gentleman

Limited to 100 Pieces: The Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife | JAEGER-LECOULTRE

Scheduled for release on February 26, 2021, "The King's Man" is a film that bridges the past and present, set a century ago to depict the origins of the Kingsman agency. Jaeger-LeCoultre, drawing inspiration from its own historical masterpiece, the renowned "Couteau" (French for knife) pocket watch manufactured in 1907, has developed the new "Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife" model. This timepiece masterfully blends the traditional style reminiscent of Kingsman costumes with contemporary aesthetics, creating a sophisticated dress watch that perfectly complements modern style.

Calibre 145. Knife pocket watch (reference model)

Echoing Jaeger-LeCoultre's traditional pocket watches, the wide bezel slopes gently from the sapphire crystal to the edge of the case, creating a refined form reminiscent of a knife's blade. The crown, protected by a triangular frame, is positioned at the 12 o'clock mark.

Within these timeless and traditional elements, subtle contemporary details are incorporated, lending a fresh impression. The simple indices on the dial and the delicately rendered ring reflect on the bezel, bringing a sophisticated ambiance to the wrist.

The classic and elegant 40mm pink gold case measures a mere 4.25mm in thickness, housing Jaeger-LeCoultre's renowned Calibre 849 manual-winding movement. This movement, only 1.85mm thick, is a testament to the "Grande Maison's" century-long expertise in mastering this challenging form of high-watchmaking.

The case back of the "Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife" is engraved with the "Kingsman" logo and the serial number "One of 100," paying homage to the film's narrative. It also comes with a specially designed sleeve box. This timepiece, much like the Kingsman theme "Manners Maketh Man," is not just functional but the perfect watch for the gentleman, embodying ultimate elegance.
