Blomman Mr Blue shares a captivating look at a pair of elegant, small, and thin manual-wind Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, highlighting their Caliber P480/C movement. This post delves into the allure of vintage JLC pieces, sparking a discussion on their enduring charm compared to modern counterparts. Blomman's appreciation for these understated beauties offers a valuable perspective for collectors exploring JLC's rich history.
I just wanted to share some pics of a manual pair…
33 mm, sub second, Cal P480/C movement.
Not sure exact how thick the movement is, but I guess it might classify as UT.
Less than 3 mm thick(?)!
The Cal 822 used in the Reverso 1931 UT is 2.94 mm thick…

I was on to post a Genealogic Tree of the UT movements... Great pair, my friend. I am puzzled by your determination to find and gather all these nice pieces from the Past. Best, Nicolas
Please post! Would love to see the evolution of the UT movements. Thank you, my friend, but why puzzled..? It’s very simple, rules haven’t changed… I want at least two of everything! Best Greedy McGreed
You're a real collector, my friend. Best, Nicolas
But, am I determined or plain stupid?! It's a thin line... Best Blomman
Well, when I see, let's say imagine, your JLC collection, the watches, the goodies, the ads, the catalogs, I think it is one of the nicest I've ever imagined. And this would not be possible without a sstrong determination. It will always be time to make a selection of what you want to keep and add. But for the moment, it is just breathtaking. Bravo. Nicolas
That means A LOT coming from you, my friend! Considering your own superb collection and all the fantastic watches you show us here day after day. I think you have seen most of my watches! When it comes to the goodies, not so much – yet! You will have to come visit me soon and have a look..! Best Blomman
