These are absolutely beautiful Bloman
Thank you for sharing pictures of these beauties. There is an elegance here that I don't find in the modern Master Control or Grande Ultra Thin and it is not just the size. There's a migic to these older pieces. I mean no disrespect to JLC's current time only models, because the are very nice... I just prefer older ones.
Small, thin and elegant...
I just wanted to share some pics of a manual pair… 33 mm, sub second, Cal P480/C movement. Not sure exact how thick the movement is, but I guess it might classify as UT. Less than 3 mm thick(?)! The Cal 822 used in the Reverso 1931 UT is 2.94 mm thick… Be...
Definitely, we are surfing on the same wave, lately.
I was on to post a Genealogic Tree of the UT movements... Great pair, my friend. I am puzzled by your determination to find and gather all these nice pieces from the Past. Best, Nicolas
It’s a great wave to surf, my friend! :)
Please post! Would love to see the evolution of the UT movements. Thank you, my friend, but why puzzled..? It’s very simple, rules haven’t changed… I want at least two of everything! Best Greedy McGreed
I meant I was very impressed by the watches ,as well as your determination, Blomman;
You're a real collector, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thank you, my friend for your kind words!
But, am I determined or plain stupid?! It's a thin line... Best Blomman
No, no, not stupid, by far!
Well, when I see, let's say imagine, your JLC collection, the watches, the goodies, the ads, the catalogs, I think it is one of the nicest I've ever imagined. And this would not be possible without a sstrong determination. It will always be time to make a...
Thank you, Nicolas!
That means A LOT coming from you, my friend! Considering your own superb collection and all the fantastic watches you show us here day after day. I think you have seen most of my watches! When it comes to the goodies, not so much – yet! You will have to c...
Well, I hope they have excellent pills, in Sweden, as my hear won't survive to this .
... Experience? Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Normally I prefer the SS version...
But lately I wear the gold version more. When a small watch like this it really works (for me). Thank you, Nilo! Hope you are fully recovered now. If not please let me know, because I am planning a post for you, my friend! And I think you need to be stron...
I'm a 100% SS person but ... who knows?
Shoot your post. Just returned from my Dr. and I'm fine. I can handle anything. Cheers, Nilo
Great news, my friend! :)
I will do my best to check that your doctor is right! But, maybe you should be just outside the hospital when you read the post? Just in case... Best Blomman
Awesome.
What else could you need with these two. Thank you for the wonderful photos.
Thank you, Michael! :)
I think you are right. What more do you need..? For a "normal" person this pair + one or two sports watches would be enough... Too bad I am not normal! Best Blomman
The wonder twins? ;-)
A refreshing post, Blomman. The more I read your post the less I know about JLC. I'm still brushing up on your vintage ad series. I think I need a few more years. LOL Regards Tyler
LOL, then you should stop reading! ;)
Thant’s reminds me – I should post another Vintage Ads post… Thank you for the reminder, T-bomb! But please don’t read it – it will only make you more confused… Best Blomman
Seriously...
JLC is a very complex brand. So long and rich history! It will take many years before I can take off my newbie badge. But, I think it's worth it! Best, T-bomb! Blomman

Can't agree more!
Thank you, EM! I have the Master Control (old version that now almost looks like the new)... It is beautiful but lack the charm of the vintage! Best Blomman
