History

The Master Control family was launched [UNVERIFIED: exact launch date not confirmed] as the entry point into Le Sentier's manufacture range. The Q4018420 embodies that philosophy at its purest: a 40mm steel case, a minimalist dial, and an automatic calibre from the 899 family [UNVERIFIED: exact calibre number]. What sets any Master Control apart is an invisible process: before leaving the factory, every watch undergoes Jaeger-LeCoultre's '1000 Hours Control', an internal battery of tests covering precision, water resistance, shock resistance and magnetic-field resistance [UNVERIFIED: exact methodology].
