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...  

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

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

You're a real collector, my friend. Best, Nicolas

But, am I determined or plain stupid?! It's a thin line... Best Blomman

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... 

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... 

... Experience? Best, my friend. Nicolas.

Of course, my preferences goes to the SS (?) one. Cheers, Nilo

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... 

Shoot your post. Just returned from my Dr. and I'm fine. I can handle anything. Cheers, Nilo

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

What else could you need with these two. Thank you for the wonderful photos.

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

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

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

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

What is the thickness of the watch? Thanks. Ham L

Watch is 8.5mm including plexi. Thank you, HamL! Best Blomman

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 ... 

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
