I really like the way...
...JLC is distinguishing in design their Master Control pieces in two camps. The Ultra-Thin case profile for dressier and more complicated pieces. And the more robust (but still refined) case profile for the more simple and casual pieces. This is welcome by those of us who aren't captivated by the sports models but want a JLC (or two) that we can wear on any occasion (or no occasion!). I'd like to think the brand recognizes this, but if not---it works for me! Thanks for the preview. I await the "metal". Best, Ken in NYC
SIHH 2012: Jaeger-LeCoultre - The new models.
I decided this year to show you the new releases we'll have the pleasure to see in Geneva, at the SIHH. Here, you will only see the official pictures, and, of course, we'll see all those new watches, one by done, in a more detailled and dedicated article....
Thanks Nicholas, I am intrigued by the Reverso Triple
Calendar. Does this have a transparent case back? Also, will a version be offered in SS? This model immediately tugs for my attention. The Reverson Skeleton also looks interesting. I did 'guess' the Duometre Tourbillon in a post a few weeks ago.
Love the Duometre à Spherotourbillon! B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L
Will be offered in a white gold? Love ya work Amancio and of course JLC!
Nooooooooo ...
the worst fear came alive! Jost joking,i am releived as its quite unaffordable,but what a watch!CAn t wait to see more. Blue Reverso skeleton is very nice but I fear its going to be unreasonable like the other blue enamel. Nice effort with the MUT tourbi,...
love the triple date reverso
and i too am interested to see what the back reveals on this piece. regards darma
My pleasure, Mo. We will discuss all that in the dedicated posts:
But you are right on the skeleton thing... It is 14 000 euros more than the blue enamel... Wait, I may have another jocker under my sleeve. Best, Nicolas
Wow,that will make it..
a whopping over 50k maybe 55 by the time its out....a bit absurd if you let me,considering what you can buy with that money. Consider that the blue enamel(or maybe just the dial!)costs like the Duometre...A watch or a dial?I take the former please. Cant w...
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend, you have just pierced my heart with a very sharp JPG file. You know which one it is. Thank God and JLC for listening to my wishes. A very troubled Ruckdee
When trouble is pleasure, it is always good for health, my friend
Rock the Banker, don't listen to himm and go for it... Best, Nicolas
I'm really going for it. Can I also bribe you into...
...posting a picture of the back? I wonder if it will look the same as 976 or not. But from the description it is a totally different movement, yes? Ruckdee
Nothing to see with the Cal of the 975, Ruckdee...
Will post a picture in the dedicqted post when I am back home, as my connection time is super liéited. Best, Nicolas
Likewise. Our dealers must think we are crazy, booking things without knowing the price.
But if you do know the MSRP, please share as I don't have a clue. I am helpless and defenseless against this symmetrical perfection as it is. Ruckdee
I hope your right....
but a basic reverso is £5-6K so I'd guess nearer £8-9K for this beauty, but lets hope they adjust some of the pricing to help us all buy more Yours, Andy.
Oooomph...better than last year by a mile...
Thank you Nico for a prompt post and I look forward to your real life pics of especially the triple date and Duometre Yours, Andy.
I will, but have a very limited connection, for the moment. [nt]
And a qwertz keyboard, too. LOL This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-01-17 01:23:09
No rush my friend...
and thank you for posting a preview of the pieces offered (are there more to come..?) The full review with live pics from you will be a little gem to look forward too once all the panic is over this week.! Hope you have had a great trip and havn't had too...
Still in Geneva, Andy...
Yes, there is a bit more to come.... And interesting, too. Best, Nicolas
Thanks first for sharing this, that soon as we eagerly refresh our pages for 1st novelties
And I would say I think that JLC offered here worthy watches. The Master MR in rose gold is so beautiful, the mix of colors and design of each part is elegant and modern in the same time, the indexes, the hands, the bridges ... The more intriguing is cert...

here is the link (also available on JLC's website): www.youtube.com watch?list=PL250F133C3C7F5C4A&v=wqhL4v6Xeoo&feature=player_embedded#!
very impressed!
first post here, long time lurker and fan of JLC! this year's releases make me greedy...triple date reverso high on my list
Check JLC's YouTube channel for a video of the Spherotourb
Reminds me of Gruebel Forsey, although the movement of the tourbillion is different.
Good selection
JLC has come up with a broad selection of new watches. They are some tasty treats here especially the new atmost (I think its stunning) and the new diving chronograph. Thank you for the timely update Nicolas! Have a great week! Edmond
Many things to say, yes...
And still a few surprises... A clever year, from JLC. Best, Edmomd. Nicolas
Nice novelties.
Love to see a renewed Master Control, it's great to have the beautiful Master RDM back with us, and I absolutely love the Ultra Thin Tourbillon, what a fantastic and balanced watch, IMHO. Thanks, Nico. Vte
As usual JLC never fails...
I love the fact they find ways to innovate classicism I love the fact they are not following the trends I love the fact that they do not innovate for the sake of innovating I love the small sublime improvements made to the Master Control & RDM, like the s...
It is me who thank you for such a nicely written answer, Foowy.
Nice offers for all the budgetsm which is great, for sure. We will come back to these watches in the weeks to come. Best, Nicolas
I don't want to spoil the party...
..but I just had a look at the JLC website and there is a WG Grand Reverso 1931 (white dial blue hands) and also a blue enamel grand reverso?? What a year for JLC (imo so far). The spherotourbillion looks astounding, and the Triple Calendar is already gar...
We alredy had a pre view on the Blue Enamel Reverso....
And yes, I still have to speak about the YG Reverso Grained dial, but there yere no available pictures when I prepared this post... Do not worry, all the watches will be shown. Best, Nicolas
Apologies!
I must have missed that post and apologies; don't want to seed over-eager but my patience is weakening with all these gorgeous pieces being released! :P As always, thanks for your pics, opinions, and fast updates! Hope you are having an awesome time at SI...
No problem, my friend. There ia lot of traffic on the JLC forum.
And to follow all the posts is not an easy thing. Best, Nicolas.
Nice additions ...
Nicolas, Thank you for your amazing great work by inform us. In respect to the new models, I'm unsure if they "sing" the song to me. The main beauty, IMHO, is the "Deep Sea Chronograph" but the lack of running seconds ... no deal or dream. Point to JLC to...
Well, Nilo, I can understand that
We all have our own taste, and no necessity to get another watch, but there are some positive points, here, which are important signs, too. I strongly believe that JLC did another great SIHH. Best, Nicolas
It may be another "never say never" ...
Let's see, in special the DSVC, "in metal". I never forget my initial hate of some other watches that changed to true love. Cheers and, again, many thanks for your expedition to SIHH. Nilo
Better than my expectation :)
Among the novelties I find the MUT, Duometre Tourbilon and Reverso Blue enamel skeleton most interesting. I foresee another stellar year for JLC Regards Tyler
I foresee some imtense discussions for the 3 or 4 months to come.
Interesting 2012 SIHH for JLC, for sure. Best, Nicolas
Very classy
Thank you for your swift posting! Still trying to digest the Mother of all Duometres... Rumour has it that something 'fast' is still around the corner resp is to be unveiled... Looking forward to your next batch! PS: real pity JLC is moving away from my a...
Thanks for providing this summary of the new SIHH 2012 releases!
It's all conveniently here. Decisions, decisions....=)
I feel greedy Nicolas, I want more...:.-)
Thanks for sharing the novelties, that duometre is stunning . Cheers, Fernando
I really like the way...

A number of temptations.. really classy touch this Year ..
.. the Reverso Triple Date caught my eye right away, (and although I'm always into ss, even in RG for this one). - the Spherotourbillion Duometre an eclectic piece, but out of reach, anyway. - Further liked the puristic Master Control , the DS Chrono a st...
You can see the Red Reverso and the Small Seconds one like Tributes, hs.
No more Tributes, except these two pieces. We need time to enjoy and digest all these new watches. I will come back to each of them, my friend, no worries. Best, Nicolas.
Wow, so many great pieces
Already knowing about the Reverso Rogue, the two stand out pieces for me are definitely the Master Control in SS and the Duometre a Spherotourbillon. JLC really knocked it out of the park this year!
Thanks for your feedback, gsb, and welcome here!
The very interesting thing is that many of us will have his own champion, but in every case, it will be a superb Champion. Best, Nicolas.
Cool pieces!
love master reserve de marche and reverso calender! 39mm is my favorite size!
Beautiful photos...
...of beautiful watches, thank you Nicolas. I however made my first mistake on this forum. I was so interested in seeing the new novelties that I invited my wife to join me in the viewing. I am afraid that there may be a quartz Reverso in my/our future. N
Now, that is a real mistake. :)
But, as my Contact at the Manufacture says " You guys, you do not take enough care of your better half "... Do I have to precise that my Contact is a lady? Best, Nicolas
I assume your contact...
...may be correct! However, in my case, I think that will change.
A magnificent line up as usual.
I expected no more and I am not disappointed. My heart is already set on one particular model. Best regards, George
Okay maybe more than one.
However the second one would have a steep price I feel. Best regards, George
Thanks for this detailed presentation Amanico
my preferred remain the red reverso, beautiful. Unfortunately, i have no JLC shop near home...
Thanks, Zewok. If there are some you consider, there is always a Boutique
Not too far from your home... This should not really be an issue. Best, Nicolas
I am happy to see JLC taking care of their product and to give them some
Nice aesthetical improvements. THAT is the great thing, this year, IMO. Best, Nicolas.
Truly great stuff
Quite some time since my last reply, but couldn't miss this one of course. Some really great stuff. Bit surprised by the new RDM. On the pictures it looks exactly the same as the old one, except for the hands. Love the new Master Control, it seems more ri...
Interesting thoughts, Starman.
Which, coming from you, is not surprising. As for the DS Vintage Chron, this is not a Tribute, but a play on what could be the watch IF we were in the late Fifties... Which is not the same than for a Tribute, where you have less liberty... In my opinion. ...
A great lineup
At first glance this is really an impressive set of novelties that JLC brings to us here. I am sure this will hold true as soon as Nicholas will bring more details to us. There will certainly much to told about the Spherotourbillon et. al. but what appels...
I am very happy with the new Master Control, and I am even
Considering it! That is the kind of improvements I appreciate a lot, in a brand. Best, my friend. It is always a pleasure to read you! Nicolas
Very nice line up this year
Thank you. For bringing us this post Nicolas. It's a very nice line up. Apart from the pieces youve already shown us beforehand my favorites are the triple reverso and MUT RDM and MUT tour billion. I just wish they didn't call it ultra thin, because they ...
Agreed on the terminology, Christian.
They should not have called the mentioneed pieces Ultra Thin, but Ultra Elegant. Thanks for your feedback, my friend. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-01-18 12:32:08...
New Master control chronograph?
I was looking at the JLC site. There is another MC Chrono shown under the 2012 models. I have not seen any pics or mention of this one. Is there an updated chronograph already?
Thank You Nico
I like the Deep Sea chrono, the triple date reverso and can only dream for the skeleton reverso ( that blue border is just amazing.Frames the skeleton very nicely ). Cheers,dreamer
Master Control and RDM
are possibly perfection embodied--the RDM is just bigger, but it looks very right, love it in RG! The MC time and date is the most perfect and inarguable watch I have seen in years and years... probably the most perfect time/date watch they could possibly...
I agree
The MC is a winner. Price, design, wearability make it a perfect intro piece into higher-end pieces.
Time of Maturity... That is exactly what I felt when viewing the 2012 collection.
Nothing spectacular, except the Duometre à Spherotourbillon, but everything is well thought, yes. What I call a clever offer from JLC. Best, Mostel. Nicolas.
