Jaeger-LeCoultre

I took the plunge soon after the arrival of my first-born.





Unfortunately, I was to learn an early lesson about watch collecting: a watch that is perfect in theory may not be so when it's on your wrist.  Please don't get me wrong, the Reverso is wonderfully crafted, and looks amazing on my friends.  Sadly, it just looks awkward on me.  It soon made its way out of my collection. 

Despite that, I kept an eye out for the brand.  A number of years later, JLC released the Master Ultra Thin Moon.  I was hooked immediately.  This time round, I was careful not to repeat my earlier mistake and committed to the purchase only after making sure it's suitable on my wrist. 





Again, the MUT Moon has seemingly everything I was looking for: a svelte case, asymmetry, understated elegance.  

Unfortunately, something led to the undoing of this relationship:  I also had a Lange Saxonia Automatik which is strikingly similar to the MUT Moon, and the former found its way on my wrist more often than not.   The MUT Moon and I parted ways as well.



















I did not have a tourbillon, so this has filled the gap in my collection.  Honeymoon period, definitely.

Third time's indeed the charm, and every turn of the beautiful tourbillon reminds me how fortunate I am to come full circle with the Grande Maison.  

Thank you for reading.
