Jaeger-LeCoultre

A recent post on the MUT made me search for my own and having found it tucked really deep away (!), I wore it for a week and it was like having an old friend in company. Today, I realized that I have not yet placed all my MC series together for a photosho...  

I own 2 and my wife 1 of them.

Great watches, all three and it was a lovely line for sure. I simply wish there was more innovation of the non dial color type that still took place at this level 🤞🏻 You certainly have a lovely collection even if that does not take place 😊🙌🏻 ... 

What impresses me the most is that despite being all in the same MC series, each expresses a different forte impressively well. If it is MUT, then it was about elegance and finesse; if it is the triple calendar, then it is rearranging a classic proportion... 

The attention to detail in the watches lower down has somehow gotten less - or at least it feels this way. Which is unfortunate. Up to quite recently I felt JLC tried at least partially (the movement for the Geophysic line) and I hope under Jerome Lambert... 

I love the Master Control series from that era, and owned a few over the years. The manual winding Master Memovox is superb. Is the Master Moon in platinum? Enjoy these beauties.

Yes the MM is Pt version. It is a tad thicker and heavier but other than these, superbly wearable.

I especially like the Ultra Thin. Best, Emmanuel

I owned that triple calendar for a while--the regular steel version with silver dial. I kept thinking that there's another, non-insane-collector life, in which that was my only watch. I think that was my response to, as you say, its craft and integrity!

So many good JLCs came out of that era

But then I might be biased - I'm lucky enough to have these two Cheers JML ...
