Another wonderful writeup...
on JLC enamel pieces. Amanico - Thank you so much for the many details and photographs.
Enamelling art is not common. I hope we get to see more of such high art pieces in future?
The JLC enamelling department must be growing to keep these coming.
Best wishes my friend... /W72
Some Jaeger Lecoultre enameled watches and thoughts.
We are several, in our virtual home, to be fans of enamel dials. I asked to the Manufacture to prepare a selection of watches I wanted to see, and to take in pictures, which we managed to do, but with Jaeger Lecoultre, there is always some place for unexp...
Thank you, very tempting.
Your post is raising the obvious thoughts: "Should I get one?" Best, Kari
Thanks so much for this excellent post my friend
JLC indeed has many enamel marvels over few decades...Mucha Reversos still my favorite...Art Nouveau on Art Nouveau...a dream! Among shown Van Gogh is jewel Cheers D
As I'm a fan of time only watches (aswell as chronographs), my choices would be the reversos or the 1907.
I was actually thinking about the reversos with enamel a few times already, as I do not have any reverso yet.
Thank you for all these shots and explanations
Hard to choose but if I could I would go for the Van Gogh with its incredible warm dial and MR. Then, the Duometre. Best wishes Alkiro
Firstly, what a wonderful set of watches. I love the Reversos but the MUT 1907 is a superb, elegant dress watch.
I disagree about the openings in the dial of the Master Minute Repeater as although I normally dislike see-through elements, in this case it seems to me that you have the pleasure of seeing the hammers strike as well as hearing the tones. Thank you for th...
Great writeup! So many fantastic examples! Would love to see the rideau Venise à Malevich!
The 1907 is stunning. And the bleu reverso very nice. And the duometre...well, its a duometre.
I dream of a black enamel Doumetre
or even the blue enamel with it. Chronographe or much better dream, rattrapante. In a white metal. It would re-order my future wish list significantly.
Possibilities...I have never seen tantalum in the real
but if you insist, we JLC fans will take the rattrapante in whatever metal. . It would not be a difficult selling job.
Great post.
My favourites are the MUT 1907 and the Duometre. I got to see Joe's latter and it was really a treat. An enamel dial piece is quite high on my wish list.
Even if as you say this is not an exhaustive list...
... thank you very much for sharing these lovely samples of enamel watches! Some a nice, but some other are very very nice (the duometre is beautiful, the Van Gogh is breathtaking, the ultra thin the best one is my eyes). Thanks again, Best, É.
Thanks for the detailed description of JLC's recent enamel watches, Nicolas.
I almost bought the Master Ultra Thin 1907 Enamel. But finally as the JLC Boutique was able to source a Master ultra Thin Jubilee Pt for me, I opted for the latter as it is even thinner. Regards, Henry

I know something about that....
I agree with you, simple withe a Grand Feu enameled dial. Enameled dials do not fade and some times so bright it may be the first thing you notice when you glance at a watch. However, I do not think it just began on watches. It is just rare for enameling ...
