Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Celebrates Upcoming “Kingsman” Movie
Jaeger-LeCoultre in collaboration with MR PORTER has revealed the limited edition Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife Watch ahead of the latest film release for “The King’s Men.”
If the tailored wardrobes of the British secrete service gentleman “Eggsy,” Merlin and Harry Hart is your epitome of style, the new release from Jaeger-LeCoultre might especially be of interest.
To celebrate the latest installment of The King’s Man film franchise, Swiss watchmakers Jaeger-LeCoultre has joined forces with filmmakers to produce 100 limited edition Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife Watches.
Taking inspiration from the upcoming film “The King’s Men” which tells the origin story of the gentleman’s secret service organization, Jaeger-LeCoultre has likewise revisited the origins of their brand and used the ultra-thin “Couteau” (French for knife) pocket watch from 1907 as a starting point for the new limited edition.
Reflecting the timeless elegance of the slimline Couteau pocket watch, the Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife Watch also features an ultra-thin caliber, specifically the 1.85mm hand-wound caliber 849 housed in a 40mm x 4.5mm 18-karat rose gold case.
Another influencing element of the 1907 Couteau pocket watch that has been translated into the Kingsman watch’s design is the rose gold top-mounted crown contrasted against the mahogany brown alligator-leather strap which borrows from the triangle crown positioned at the top of the 1907 Couteau pocket watch.
Upon turning the Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife watch over, the case-back reveals the discrete Kingsman logo and is engraved with the unique number of 100 that the limited edition piece is.
Like the tailored wardrobe assigned to each of the characters by Ms. Arianne Phillips throughout the three films, the Master Ultra Thin Knife watch is a gentleman’s watch, being both purposeful and understated.
Only 100 units of the limited edition Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Knife will be produced. They will be available for purchase on MR PORTER from July 20 and through Jaeger-LeCoultre authorized dealers from September 6 onwards.
