Master Tourbillon is a wristwatch by Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Tourbillon model in the series Master Control, which, rare for this type of complication, is driven by a self-winding movement. Like all pieces of the Master Control series also this one must submit to the infamous 1000 Hours test before delivery.

The watch is available in platinum (limited to 300 pieces), in red gold or, unusual for tourbillons, in stainless steel with steel bracelet.

The Master Tourbillon is designed completely for everyday use and differs pleasantly from the vast majority of the tourbillons on the market, which indeed shine with a spectacular and exclusive appearance, but from which one usually could not expect much strength. Automatic winding, hardness test, dual timezone, possibly also steel bracelet and case and not least the clear focus on the readability and usability make the watch a faithful companion in all situations.
