3 master ultra thin watches, but 1 same caliber inside!

 

few days ago, had a chance of trying three master ultra thin watches at the SG50 Reverso preview event in Singapore Orchard ION Boutique.

these three elegant timepieces are sharing some similarities, say the same size of case (39mm in diameter) and even with the same caliber 849, but they are housed in three different case metal (WG, PG, vs Pt) and slightly different thickness (5mm, 4.2mm vs 4.05mm), with two different sets of hands (dauphines vs leaf shaped hands), two different sets of dial (enamel vs print dial) which interestingly make them displaying totally different characters with these different combinations in place altogether.

regarding the thickness of the watches, i have taken a photo (pls see the last) for two of them side by side to show the difference. from the photo, you can see clearly how thin they are and also can find the thinner one in 4.2mm compared with that in 5mm which really shows the striking and amazing art, craft and watch making skills that jlc has developed and put into these ultra thin master timepiece!
