Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Moon
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Moon , ref. Q169242J is almost never talked about. Rightfully so? What do you think ? The pink gold case measures 41.5 x 12.1 mm and the watch is powered by self-winding caliber 983 which features a tourbi...
There is a confusion between the family name ( Ultra Thin ) and the thinness of the watch ( which is not Ultra Thin with more than 12 mm high ). A serious looking watch, accurate, but which never sang to me.

I have never understood the allure of a moonphase 'readable in both hemispheres'...
...I am in only one hemisphere. Great photos, and I agree about the not being thin part...
Just so that you can have an idea of how the humans of the other hemisphere see the moon...

...but no, I get it...but in the case of this JLC, the hand over the moon is distracting...
Beautiful but a tad too big for a dress watch.
Shame they could not fit this in a 40mm or less case.
It’s a bit large indeed.
And the movement isn’t impressive to look at. Best, Emmanuel
