Jaeger-LeCoultre

Sorry but I don't think you are correct on that.

 

Otherwise it should say JLC Master Date with Ultra Thin movement or JLC Master Moon with Ultra Thin movement wouldn't it? Also are you aware of the size of the movements on these watches? Which are a simple time and date watch and time date and moonphase watch as they are 3.3mm for the Calibre 899 and 4.9mm for the Calibre 925 and those don't exactly qualify as Ultra Thin movements either so so much for that idea, There are Ultra thin watches thinner than just those movements, if Jaeger-LeCoultre were a new company of little experience it would be easy to cut them some slack but as they have produced various Ultra Thin movements and watches in their history it makes them trying to make this claim all the worse. Maybe someone at Richmont is angry at them and trying to ruin their good name as otherwise doing something this obvious and stupid is hard to explain IMHO.

A Grained Copper-Coloured Dial Enhances the Master Ultra Thin Date and Master Ultra Thin Moon KEY FACTS: Exclusive dial colour: a distinctive new shade animates two Master Ultra Thin references in a limited edition Emblematic in-house movements: finely fi...  

I've been thinking about getting a salmon-colored dial for a while now.

And these JLCs are exactly to my liking. What a shame that JLC's pricing has become, in my opinion, completely absurd in the meantime.

I agree. I am having a hard time justifying the prices

of some watches (from any manufacturer) recently. I get it, its all about the heritage, legacy, movement, case material etc. But THOUSANDS of dollars for a time and date only watch is a bit absurd. I will always wear what I consider to be a nice watch, be... 

I like the thinness of these...

...on the 'Moon' would like to see the date hand maybe in blue for a bit of color/contrast?

Lovely looking watches but seriously Jaeger-LeCoultre I really expect better from you then cheap and nasty dishonest marketing tricks!!!!!!

These really are some quite beautiful and classy looking watches but the one thing neither of them are is anything even close to being is an Ultra Thin watch in fact they would struggle to even be called Extra thin. I mean just look at the specs for these... 

Sorry but I don't think you are correct on that.

Nice new dial

Great new dial variation! Some "live pictures" show a rather rough surface compared to the press pictures. Let's see how it looks in the hand and on the wrist. As an owner of the black dial variant I find it interesting that the winding rotor is mentioned... 

Love the dial treatment.

It works better with the moonphase, in my opinion, though I agree that JLC's pricing has made some rather athletic leaps of late. :-(

Like the dial color on these…

A matching date wheel would have been nice (and one with larger numbers), though 😊👍🏻

The moon doesn’t have the date disc issue of course 👍🏻

Is the price out of range? Haven’t checked 🤷🏻‍♂️ The automatic might be as much for the salesperson as the customer - seemingly they cannot always reliably tell the movement types apart 😉
