Jaeger Lecoultre Master Steel Black Series.
Following our friend jml's post, here is a superb series created by Jaeger Lecoultre at the end of the 90's early 2000's.
The 37 mm are:
The Master Perpetual Calendar:
The Master Calendar:
The Master Reserve de Marche:
The smaller is the Master Ultra Thin 34 mm:
The bigger is the Master Géographique with its 38, 5 mm case.
And, in between, the Master Memovox, which is 36 mm big:
A wonderful series, here. My favorite? The Memovox, with the MUT as a close second.
You?
Best,
Nicolas

The triple date 'senza luna' which is quite rare as most people wanted watches with full options
It makes it more modern than the moon iteration IMO credit watchattitude There was also the hybrid - not quite master - mecaquartz chronograph credit analogshift ...
Indeed, I have one of those without the moonphase
The interesting thing about this series, is that the black dialed versions had a sapphire caseback, whereas the silver dialed ones had a full metal caseback.
Black dial
is the way to go with Master Control series👍 having previously owned a white dial MUTM which was so sterile and cold….
This was a wonderful series. Probably my favorite vintage of Master Control
I really like what they were doing on the dauphine hands on the black dial version: half of the hands had a frosted finish to avoid reflection and keep the time legible at all angles. Such a clever solution that I wonder why they stopped doing it, or why ...

i agree with you
Life is simpler when we only need to adjust time only and wind and go.
Black dials ! Maouuuii
Perpetual or geographic… that’s the question…The first one is well balanced and the second one… more rock’n roll…
True
But I fell in love with with this watch when I bought it for my son while back. Occasionally I steel it from him

and ALL are delicious, the Reserve de Marche Master Black is the most beautiful in my eyes. Simple, a-symmetrical, and all the info I love (date, power reserve). It only lacked one complication, the moonphase, but besides that, it's a perfectly understate...
