A step ahead? Well, I'm not sure...
I do like the UT cases, to a degree, but I feel that the UT cases have taken on too much of a feminine quality...thin bezel, relatively thin lugs, and a proportional but small crown...the 39mm size is perfect, though
there is a fine line between elegant and a bit too feminine and I think the UT cases may have crossed too far into feminine territory (but that's of course just my opinion since many JLC enthusiasts quite apparently love the UT cases)
I felt the mid-2000s 40mm Master cases were too chunky with their flat bezels and proportions
frankly, I think the current master chrono and master memovox cases are terrific and the perfect proportions for me...curved edges and some thickness and heft without going overboard into chunkiness
Cheers,

Jaeger Lecoultre SIHH 2015: Master Ultra Thin Calendar.
For those who found that the MUT Moon 39 dial was a bit empty, the new Master Ultra Thin Calendar is a pleasant alternative. Same 39 mm case, 9, 9 mm high, exactly like the MUT Moon 39 ( which is, once again, not ultra thin at all ), but not less elegant....
good! The range of selection has been widened.
but... Certainly go more interested in stainless steel ^^; Question for you, dial plate's eggshell like "mut ppc"??
Yes, in steel, even better, I agree. As for the dial, it is not eggshell, but white.
Thanks for your feedback, Penny! Nicolas
Indeed,quite interesting.. Q: what's the color of hour indices & hands- Black/dark grey ?
.. Maybe also there, dark blue might have been nice, probably (?).. Other than that, yet another classic to fill the little gap, as mentioned by you .. Interesting to me, how LGM does some rejuvenation to the classics with the smaller & thinner cases.. Fi...
Indexes and hands are grey, HS.
Here is an official picture: A black dial... Hmmmm... Like this one? I am a big fan of " Ultra Thin " cases which are very elegant. Best, Nicolas ...
Thx- Yes, these grey ones are interesting..Guess,not impossible that a ss-Version pops up
BTW: this black one/ teardrop of yours always amazes me, when shown : Lots of strong, but balanced appeal ! Designwise these were the hey-days of JLC with their Calendars, - a theme, that is redesigned & relived for quite some time now.. A nice sign of " ...
I like it
Compared to the MUT Moon, this complication, especially the date is legible, and doesn't distract from the balance of the dial. I like it a lot...now, just to wait for the steel version...
Nice.
But for me the best watch in this class is Blancpain complete calendar. The new system, correctors under the lugs, make it very appealing. Furthermore,, this Blancpain is one of the watches that started the renaissance of mechanical watches. Best, Kari
I agree. And the crown of JLC
is easier to operate while the folding clasp of Blancpain is really nice. Best, Kari
On the JLC, no folding but pin buckle, which I prefer.
But I understand that some people prefer the folding buckle. I prefer the pin buckle for the comfort, personally. Best, Nicolas
Look great but...
I'm still thinking of the meteorite dial you posted. However, the white dial is a fine update to the collection. -MW
I think you will soon see the whole collection at the BH Boutique.
Come back with pics and thoughts! Best, Nicolas
I do like the new ones, but...
these pictures demonstrate the IMO unrivaled proportions of the classic JLC master moons. Cheers, John

Interesting point, John.
I found the 37 mm Master Case quite nice, and the problem came with 41mm +++ cases. Too chunky, they lost their " grace ". Look at the MMR Ti, with its 44 mm case. Gracious? No. But, in this " case ", the overall conceptual look of the Watch works well. N...
Well, if the hands and indices...
are in the black or charcoal - as in your pics - I think it will be a nice sister piece to the 18ktW QP. The press-kit pics were a little bland, I thought, so I hope JLC keeps them as they are in YOUR pics. As far as steel goes, this dial with BLUED indic...
Blue date, day, month and pointer would be sublime in such an environment.
I think the indexes and hands are the same than those of the QP. What I had in mind when I saw the Watch. Best, Dean. Nicolas
Absolutely, Nicolas!
And it "solves" a problem of the MUT Moon: the size of the numbers on the date ring. ;) Best! Marcelo
Flipped dates?
Hey Nico, could I ask what the final version of the MUT Calendar's date arrangement will be? I noticed something odd - in your first 2 pics, the dates in the lower half are not flipped, ie. they're "upside down" like the old 37mm Master Moons. But in the ...
