Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin 1833 in Rose Gold: The forgotten " MUT "?

By: amanico : September 13th, 2022-08:33

Issued in 2008 for the 175th La Grande Maison's Anniversary, the Master Ultra Thin ( MUT ) came with a new case, which was 4 mm bigger than the former one ( 38 mm versus 34 mm ), and 6, 31 mm thick. The movement is the same, the famous and highly apprecia...

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin 1833 in Rose Gold: The forgotten " MUT "?

I don't really follow much a Jlc ultra thin. But that is a superb watch. Wonderful pictures. I agree on this watch mon ami. 😊

Thanks for your feedback, my dear Geross.

Prefer the cleaner dial of the 34mm :-)

You are such a purist! ;)

Hehe 34mm dial is quite elegant. Top class :-)

I have to agree. I have a soft spot for all the manual ones, especially for the 34, 39 ( Jubilé or enamel ) and this one, in this order.

Very nice! I'm not even familiar with this one

Yes, it was a great looking one, also.

I did not know this one but it’s deliciously sexy!

That's why I posted it. It is totally under the radar.

There are surprisingly (to me at least) several very interesting reference like this one from JLC that while no longer offered are available on the secondary market which I find really attractive!

Like which ones?

well there are many and i may not get the names right, but for starters...

Aaaah; now I see. All are great!

Soooo pretty

The rose gold MUT 34 was a bomb!

I have the platinum Jubilee MUT.

Aaah, that I don't know. The case of the Jubilée is spectacular.

I love this watch, never seen it in person.

You should, if you find the ( rare ) opportunity.

Yes! I’ll take two, please..

Pleasure! ;)

I like my MUT 38!

The Cal 849 is small even in the 34 mm case. ;)

Beautiful and very classy MUT even if for me 38 mm case it's a bit too big for this type of watch, and 34 mm a bit too small ( 36 or 37 mm would be pefect pour monsieur jamais content !) )

Well, you know, that is the most surprising thing. With the MUT 34, the movement ( 20 mm diameter ) is already lost. The funny thing is that in the 38 mm it doesn't look more " lost ".

You speak the truth! That movement is so compact, even the MUT 34 is too large of a case for it.

Yes, I wish they make the 849 in a bigger size ( 27 to 30 mm ). It is such a great movement!

That'd definitely give it a much larger spring!

Yes, true. 40 hours would be better.

Oui! Oui!

Wow, that's a strong statement!

Yes!

Agreed on the dots of the 38 mm, they are an exquisite detail. Now the crown of the Jubilée is small for a good reason, the ultra thinness of the case. Not easy to wind, definitely, but this is the price to pay for a 4, 05 mm watch.

Agreed. But just really like the MUT 38 so much.

I must say there is another one which haunts me, the Jubilée Enamel dial. 1 mm thicker, but the dial is a killer.

Ahh! Yes!

I am having a strong love affair with this one. With a bit of luck, one day!

I remember desperately wanting one in 2008.

My pleasure, G.

Those manual wind MUTs make a lovely family! They may be united one day!

Total class.

This is the 34mm stainless steel MUT that I find more interesting.

That is the modern historic one, with a superb relation between the case and the movement.

And it is so versatile! A perfect watch that will never go! Best, E.

I can only agree, here.

Very interesting fact and reference indeed. I didn’t know this reference exists. Thanks for sharing. This one is unmistakably pure.

Released in limited edition in 2008... Even if 575 pieces were made, that may explain why we don't often see it.

Thank you for the info
