Perhaps the most obvious is not the most interesting? [nt]

Pre SIHH 2019: Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 Guilloché Enamel. It is up to you to write the press release!
I just discovered the brand new Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 Guilloché Enamel at the Manufacture, today. Only press release pictures, I couldn't see the proto as it wasn't available, yet. But let's have fun. Imagine you are at the head of the marketing team,...
A single casting for the moon ring & numerals
Nice long sharp hands Made in Switzerland Ccurved strap ends match the case Alligator strap in blue (appearance) Good diameter Moon's blue sky doesn't match dial's blue (I hate that) Funny crown What did I miss? Cazalea
I would highlight how beautiful the watch is ... while also...
... making the insane outrageous price in super duper small font hoping people might miss it ;-) When I saw it, I thought it was literally 2x what this watch should be
If you don't mind...what is the price?
tried to look for it I could not find it...just curious..
35K for this is insane....i would've thought marginal price increase from the rose/white gold models...
if that price is confirmed, I am not sure how successful this model would be......
Gorgeous watch
The carved date numerals are very nicely done and the frosted ring looks great. The dial work looks meticulous. The coloring and overall the watch seems very feminine--nothing wrong with that, but I don't view it as a man's watch and therefore it's not fo...
Nope. Looks feminine to me.
Others may view it differently, of course. Will be interesting to see live pictures. Thanks for the coverage. It really is a lovely piece by JLC.
I agree
Yep, just throw a satin strap on it and Bob's your auntie (as the Brits might say) like my wife's IWC with fancy dial ...
By the way, I got a kick out of the "Bob's your auntie" comment.
Had not heard that one before...LOL. John
I look forward to your report, and live pics.
Nothing compares to seeing live pics and the watch in the metal. Cheers, and thank you for bringing this one to us, John
Reported to be upgraded movement with 70 hr power reserve. I truly hope this is a harbinger of many new movements throughout the catalog....
Is a new manual movement with central seconds too much to hope for now? Sign me up now for that modernized 39mm Mark XI... Enjoy your visit, Nicolas. Marc
an one line message may be....
'' the only watch you will ever need to complete your collection'' or ''elegance restated'' or ''your wait is over'' i know you can do better than that... BTW...i'm impressed, 1 day in the manufacture you already got us 1 sneak peek my friend - better you...
Very, and I mean VERY elegant
Now I’m really curious about the further new JLC in 2019...
Another picture from Instagram.
Me I don’t like it, too many blue and details with the dial and the subdial for the date , I don’t like either the shape of the hands. ...
My god
Their pieces are even better each year... I don’t earn enough please stop that jlc!! Kev
oh my god oh my god !
can't wait to see the whole new collection next year !! (but I stay in love with my very first mechanical watch, the reverso tribute) Kev
Love the date marker.
Engraved steel? The blue enamel looks gorgeous!! Can’t wait for the real thing!
I don’t like it.
Not my cup of tea. Waiting for something more inspiring. Looks like they caught the Vacheron pricing disease.
A "sum of the parts" miss.
The've had a design issue for some time now with their dress watches and this doesn't reverse that malady.
What do you call a dress watch? A Master Ultra Thin Jubilée platinum? A MUT Moon, enamel or not? A Duometre? I think it is hard to generalize.
Now, I am quite happy they are working more and more on their cases... I have to say. Best, nicolas
I mean classical thin dress watches.
I like the execution on the Duometres, just not on their "Master" line. They need to find a good balance of drawing on their tradition without ending up with boring or incoherent designs. But that's just my opinion.
Thank you. We look forward to your report from the Maison.
I love this brand and would like re-engage with them once they sort themselves out.
The dial
has a noticeable depth to it. I like the detailing. I’ve been looking for a blue dial dress watch, maybe this will be it!
Interesting watch...
But have to see actual to be sure. Dial sunburst wave pattern reminds me of my Seiko Pressage blue. Price point is not attractive though. After owning Seikos enamel dials, it is hard for me to justify paying 10X for enamel dial anymore.
Comment of Fratello Watches
It seems as if they are targeting a slightly different audience with these Master Ultra Thin watches than the 50-year old dentist driving a Volvo they did in the past. This Ultra Thin Moon Enamel is definitely something that will appeal to a larger and pe...
"50-year old dentist driving a Volvo"
That just about sums up the Master line from my perspective. And I don't believe this design (or price) changes that.
