Reference Guide
Nicolas (amanico) revisits the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar Meteorite, a 2015 release that continues to captivate collectors with its distinctive dial. His post serves as a reminder of the watch's unique aesthetic and sparks a discussion about the broader appeal and future of meteorite dials in luxury watchmaking. This article explores why this particular reference remains a standout and what the community hopes for in future JLC designs.
Wish brands would go more often with this kind of dial materials. Didn’t know JLC did this thx for sharing !
Hi Nico, Thanks for bringing that one up, indeed few brands doing watches with meteorite dials! Like also that the moon-shaped date indicator is blue instead of red to make it very special ! Is that having the older master control case (which was more heavy) or already the new more thin (svelte?) one? Cheers, Jérôme
Thanks for the info, would be indeed interesting to see if they ever revive it in the new line-up? Maybe with tantalum as you wrote 😊 I personally hope Meteorite dial is not something that gets abandoned by “la grande maison” (like the MCC, the EL, …). Keeping fingers crossed 🤞! Jérôme
It's a perfectly executed dial
You can really get lost in all those lines and patterns.
