**Master Compressor Extreme LAB** is a concept watch by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]].

With this [[2009]] launched sports model Jaeger-LeCoultre presented the first wristwatch, which runs completely lubrication-free. It is the first product of a newly established research laboratory in the [[manufacture]]. This "think tank" takes care systematically of the discovery and testing of promising materials and methods for watchmaking. It was initially shown in [[2007]].

For the Master Compressor Extreme LAB, the company has applied for a total of six patents, one for the high-tech housing in [[carbon]], [[titanium]] and [[ceramic]] materials. Further technical details of the [[self-winding]] calibre 988C are a [[tourbillon]] with a cage made of a magnesium alloy, a [[dual time-zone]] and a [[hand date]] from the center, which is coupled with the main time. The peculiarity of this indication at the transition from the 15th to 16th of the month the hand jumps over the tourbillon cage in the lower part of the dial.
