V9 Jaeger Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar Automatic Mechanical Watch – Reproduction of Stephen Strange’s Watch from ‘Doctor Strange’

A historic breakthrough in the replica watch industry: the successful development of the ‘perpetual calendar,’ one of the three most prestigious complications in fine watchmaking. The V9 Jaeger Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar (official model numbers: white dial 130842J, black dial 1308470, gold dial 1302520, grey dial 130354J) replicates the timepiece worn by Dr. Stephen Strange in the film *Doctor Strange*. While maintaining the original 39mm diameter, V9 has perfectly replicated all functions of the authentic Caliber 868 movement.

Functions:
1. **Perpetual Calendar** – The perpetual calendar year display at the 8 o’clock position operates normally (valid for years 2017–2024; free factory replacement of the year module available for 2024). Adjustment is made via a concealed button on the case, matching the original design, with the added advantage of reversible year adjustment (unlike the original, which is non-reversible and requires costly servicing if over-adjusted).
2. **Annual Calendar (Date, Day, Month)** – Fully functional date (3 o’clock), month (6 o’clock), and day (9 o’clock) displays with manual adjustment: date adjusted via the second crown position (bidirectional), month via the hidden button at 8 o’clock, and day adjusted indirectly through hour-hand manipulation.
3. **Warning Indicator** – A fan-shaped window located above the central hands indicates when it is safe to adjust the year. When white, adjustment is permitted; when blue, it is within a restricted period—adjustment should be avoided during this time to protect the movement’s integrity, consistent with the original.
4. **Moon Phase** – The moon phase aperture at 12 o’clock completes one full rotation every 24 hours (vs. 30 days in the original), an aesthetic function that does not affect usability.
5. **Time Display** – Standard hours, minutes, and seconds functions with normal operation and adjustment.

Reasons to Buy:
1. **Complete Complications** – Features a fully functional perpetual calendar and annual calendar, offering high sophistication, exceptional playability, and strong visual appeal. The movement is rare and highly sought-after.
2. **Dial Accuracy** – The dial is the face of the watch. Thanks to precise mold replication from the original, the product achieves approximately 98% similarity in dial layout, font style, and finish. Without inspecting the movement, it is extremely difficult to distinguish from the genuine article.
3. **Practical Size** – At 39mm in diameter, it suits both formal and casual wear, making it versatile for any occasion.
4. **Dauphine Hands** – Features the iconic Jaeger dauphine hands (half-satin-brushed, half-polished), distinguishing it from generic hands used by low-end manufacturers.
5. **Affordable Luxury** – The original retail price is around W RMB (approximately 8W on the secondhand market), positioning this as the most cost-effective perpetual calendar among current luxury brands—unmatched in value, accessible to most enthusiasts.

Note: A full or annual calendar is NOT equivalent to a perpetual calendar. Full/annual calendars only display date, day, and month; only a perpetual calendar includes automatic year indication accounting for leap years.

Known Limitations:
1. **Thickness** – Original thickness is 9.2mm; V9 version measures 11.5mm. Slightly thicker than the original, though barely noticeable to the eye and does not impact wearing comfort.
2. **Movement Structure** – Differences exist in movement architecture due to different base calibers. This results in lower visual authenticity but offers a functional improvement: V9 allows reversible year adjustment, while the original does not.
3. **Moon Phase Cycle** – Original moon phase cycle is 30 days; V9 completes one cycle every 24 hours. This minor deviation does not affect appearance or practical use.
