... by leaving away the year window. Those stubby leap year hands squeezed into the subidals of perpetual calendars belong to the weirdest design elements available in the horological repertoire. For me, the best way is to integrate them into a movement bridge and permit legibility on the watch's back. However, it would make necessary a completely new movement design. Consequently, I think the year window is the lesser problem.

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar 39 Steel Black ( 2016 ). Some thoughts
In 2016, Jaeger released two very nice looking watches, a new one, the Reverso Tribute Duo, and a new version of an existing model, the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar 39, in steel, with a black dial. Of course, you can also mention the Reverso Tribu...
I’m not that keen on perpetual calendar watches...

Hi nico
I actually like it on the dial. I don't feel it's v obvious n it's there when I need it. Kinda like 4 digit display, ala iwc. It's q cool imo
I love this piece but
don't seem to adore it. I have been close to buying it twice. 1. I think it needs more dial depth (think of the effect the PP3940 has) 2. I wish the hour and minute hands had their tail tips arriving at the centre at a true tangent to make what I would ca...
Agree w nico
I find the finish pleasant enough. Can be better but at what cost. Actually one of the very attractive points about this piece is it being a very well priced pc from a true manufacture like jlc
