Don't understand, that JLC neglects calibre 849
I absolutely dont't understand why JLC neglects the marvelous calibre 849. In the product range of JLC on their website you justfind one watch (!) anymore with a squelette-version of caliber 849. For me this is nearly a shame, because JLC has been a specialist for ultra thin movementes since decades an there is no other movement in production now, that is really as thin as calibre 849. I own a MUT 34mm in steel and each time I wear it (mostly for formal occacions) I am happy and proud to own it. It is a very, very elegant an beautiful watch. In my opinion, the disappearance of JLC's watches is like throwing away the crown-jewels of the brand. What do you think? Is it a matter of cost?
Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilée Platinum 39. A forgotten star?
In 2013, Jaeger-Lecoultre unveiled a spectacular watch, the Master Ultra Thin Jubilée in a 39 mm platinum case, whose thinness was remarkable with a height of only 4, 05 mm, which is 0, 15 mm thinner than the Master Ultra Thin 34. How can it be spectacula...
I have to admit nowadays people seem to be more attracted to big and heavy watches...
Which is a shame in my opinion but also a generation thing I appears. My dad always told me that a sophisticated watch is a small and thin one - also more complicated to make I guess. Having a small wrist myself I have a huge preference for smaller and th...
I went for the reverso tribute at the end.
Not as thin as 4 mm but still thin and small enough compared to other names. Kev
Forgotten for sure
I think the problem is not with the model that is gorgeous but with the brand. Unfortunately JLC fails to score hype points. The same picture remains with duometers and their other magnificent watches. As for 1907... One of the problems is that the moveme...
Great watch & brings back many memories and has been a safe queen for a while now ..pictorial for you
When i got it First outing with the Mrs & the UT Yes I dropped it on the marble floor And back on the wrist ...
Lots to like with the ultra thin series
As others have said - thinness is a complication too. Of the series I have a particular liking for the 34mm. Probably most to do with when I first got to appreciate JLC. Cheers JML

Yes it is a delicious watch!
What a lovely profile! I think the MUT34 with its see-through back is more interesting as the movement is really an important part of the watch! You have to like under-the-radar watches and technical achievement to really appreciate this piece. I do Thank...
And I am lucky to have a see-through back version! :)
The platinium is an even more refined version, which makes sense seen the exclusivity and the material. Would you get one Nico? Best, É.
Thank-you, Nico, for reminding us of this reference!
It is indeed a very special design, of course from the purely technical point-of-view (new solution of the case, caseback fitted at the lugs), and because of its special aesthetics: - not only the unique profile, also - sharply cut curves and edges of the...
