'''Master Compressor Extreme LAB''' is a concept watch by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]].

With this [[2009]] launched sports model Jaeger-LeCoultre presented the first wristwatch, which runs completely lubrication-free. It is the first product of a newly established research laboratory in the [[manufacture]]. This "think tank" takes care systematically of the discovery and testing of promising materials and methods for watchmaking. It was initially shown in [[2007]].

For the Master Compressor Extreme LAB, the company has applied for a total of six patents, one for the high-tech housing in [[carbon]], [[titanium]] and
[[ceramic]] materials. Further technical details of the [[self-winding]] calibre 988C are a [[tourbillon]] with a cage made of a magnesium alloy, a [[dual time-zone]] and a
[[hand date]] from the center, which is coupled with the main time. The peculiarity of this indication: at the transition from the 15th to 16th of the month the hand jumps over the tourbillon cage in the lower part of the dial.
