Hi Clavi. Going back and forth looking at your fine sample and the 2012....
Version. It is obvious that yours is really nice!
I looked at what made yours nicer since all the elements looked really identical... Correct me if i am wrong but they could still go thinner with the bezel to make the dial pop out a bit more. The bezel still is able to overpower the arabic indices. And, perhaps, the glass?
Wondering what that little step might be that you mentioned or do we leave that up to nico? Sorry, am not as jlc literate as i would want to be.
Thank you for sharing this image. Made me realize that this wasnt 'it' yet. But it is a good step and reallh worthnconsidering, this 2012 version. wonder if they had this specific piece in mind when they made those changes.
Question on the new Master Control vs the current offering...
hi nico/jlc forum, curious to find out the differences (or improvements if you will) from the outgoing model. from what i've seen in the jlc site and others and hope you guys can confirm or debunk... 1) the new one has dauphne hands versus the old alpha h...
Echi, my friend. I will post soon a dedicated post about the MC.
For the moment, some quick answwers: 1/ Yes. 2/ Folding buckle, but I have to check. 3/ Yes. Cal 899. 4/ Case: 39 mm, one millimeter smaller than on the former version. Should I add that I love this new version? Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited...
Agree
Looking forward to your post! Always been tempted by the simplicity of the MC but something else always managed to jump the queue! I hoped the the new MC would finally be my first silver dialed Master... But the HANDS! Otherwise i fully agree with Echi ; ...
Hi ambos...
I actually feel that the new mc might be a sleeper hit... If that makes any sense :p Excited!
Wow, that move to go smaller...
Respect, man, respect. Not because they did it for the sake of being different but there is something to be said about sticking to a certain aesthetic. For all its conservatism, it's actually rebellious Thanks, nico. Even without a review, that small move...
One more step and it will be perfect ;-)
The 'updated' (well, backdated would almost be more appropriate in this context) version of the MC is a good move to restore some of the original elegance to this watch. When JLC tried to 'harmonize' the classic Master Control a few years ago (I don't kno...

I prepared a summary about the evolution of this model.
But I will first post a mega topic on the Speerotourbillon, next Monday.... So, if Calvi wants to give you all the details and pics... Best, Nicolas
I agree 100%. In fact...
I was hoping that the 40mm would've had the EXACT same bezel angle, proportions, hands, AND the anti-magnetic core. Making the bezel flat was "almost" embarrassing - the "cheap route." JLC is moving in the right direction for proportions. -Dean
Case fiinsh?
I think another important difference is the finish of the case. I haven’t seen this new MC live, but seeing the pictures, I consider the case of the new one has a mate finish or at least a different finish than the actual version. By the way, about the ca...
'nothing to brag about'...
That's the whole point of a jlc, imvho Thank you for bringing up the point on case finishing. I was wondering about that myself.
