When elegance is blended with strength... The winner cocktail of this MUT Perpetual Calendar in steel with this black dial. The elegance of its superb case, the strength of its black dial. There is not much to not like in this watch.... Best, Nicolas ...

Jaeger-LeCoultre

My favorite current perpetual and a great value.

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar Steel Case Black Dial.

Yes, it's wonderful. That said, why are there lines on the month subdial?

Maybe to show the trimesters?

Duh! Yes, of course.

;)

I always liked the rectangular cuts in the hands to reveal the ... leap year indicator?

No, the danger zone indicator. In red when between 10 PM and 3 AM, otherwise in white.

Somehow they managed to make a perpetual calendar dial is not only very readable, but the overall result also transcend simplicity of the dial. It is busy without being busy…quite nice results!

Very nicely put. I love your description.

🙏🙏🙏

Ah am wearing this today

This one is more classy. Happy to read that you still own it.

A really beautiful timepiece! Why was it called “Dr Strange edition”? Enjoy!

Because the main character of this movie wore this watch.

My favorite current perpetual and a great value.

I can only agree. In this range of price, you are totally right.

I really like the rose gold version

A bit too big? Really. Then this one is for you, with its 37 mm.

Yeah here is how it looks like

Well, it sits on you wrist, very well!

I know there’s a lot of arguably better perps out there but this one still seems to be my fave. Guess i’m just naturally biased towards JLC :p

It depends on the price range, indeed. But at that price range, one of the best, if not THE best, in my opinion. It is good to be biased, sometimes. :))))

I was very happy to see this post as I own this watch! Agree on the assessments in the post and the comments.

That's beautiful and love the blue strap too.

+1!

Thank you :)

Bravo. And I must see that your strap is superbly chosen.

Thanks a lot for the compliment! I still have the original strap in perfect, unworn condition (ready for any formal occasions that may come up in the future:)

Good!

This is all the watch one would ever need 👍

Not bad, not bad... ;)
