Thanks for the review
I had the chance to try out this watch at my local JLC boutique yesterday. The dial is very attractive, if a bit too flashy for my taste as the guiloche and enamel gives off a "disco-ball" effect. However, I am disappointed with the finishing on the movement, It looks very dull. For a CHF55K watch, JLC can certainly do better.
SIHH 2019: A Review on the Jaeger-Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar Guilloché Blue Enamel.
The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar saga started not a long time ago, as the first ones came in 2013, followed in 2016 by the steel case black dialed version which is a star. We had steel versions, rose gold, white gold, all over these last years, wi...
Very interesting review of a superb watch.
I can’t take my eyes off the close up picture of that blue dial. I love the different textures and so much information is presented so clearly and attractively. As usual, my eyes have been pleasured! One question though; what is the small aperture just un...
The small aperture underneath the months sub dial is the danger zone indicator. To remind you that changing the date at that moment ( between 10 PM and 3 AM ) may damage the movement.

I think overall, not just in terms of the guilloché enamel dial...
the dial of this perpetual is now much more balanced and nice compared to the other perpetual versions...the sub-dial of the moon phase is really beautiful with the details...only one reservation from my side... le prix...mais, le prix....a serious jump.....
Wonderful job capturing these gorgeous dials!
I took a very close look at the blue enamel dial family at Watches and Wonders. Just beautiful and the perpetual calendar was my favorite.

Thanks for the review.
I feel annual and perpetual calendars have lost their niche as high complications given the democratization of these complications to relatively low price points by other Swiss manufacturers. At this price point, the movement is ordinary and I don’t consi...
Without a doubt.
An exceptional piece that demonstrates what they are capable of, which I hope can trickle down into more interesting designs and small complications that they did so well in the past. The G5 is unobtainable for me, but a dream to be sure! They need to sna...
