Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced its first alarm wristwatch in 1950 with the calibre 489, developed as a response to the Vulcain Cricket. The design featured two crowns to separately manage the power reserve and alarm functions, while an inner rotating disc on the dial provided clear and intuitive alarm setting—elements that contributed significantly to the model’s early success.
The present example is a modern Master Control Réveil in pink gold, echoing the aesthetic and mechanical heritage of its mid-century predecessors. It is offered with its presentation box, guarantee form, instruction booklet, and accompanying accessories.
