Jaeger-LeCoultre

Yea, Nicholas!

 

Thanks Nicholas for these wonderful close-up shots of the movement!

Is the dial really dark blue? Do you know what it is coated with? It looks metallic. BTW, I got my Master Ultra Thin manual from the dealer circa 2006. It is an entire manual dedicated to the MUT in 5 or 6 languages. I suspect the platinum version must feel alot denser and a tad heavier!

There is a high chance that I may visit Paris after all. I am debating on where to stay--Cergy-Pontoise where the conference is or near to the Sorbonne through the five days I am there--and I am still waiting for the conference guys to get back to me. What would you recommend? I am thinking of central Paris but I am worried that the conference may run too late for a commute back.

Dr No, I considered the Senator Sixties before but information on this watch online is scant. I heard recently that a manual wind exists for this model in WG but have yet to see it up close at the AD. I don't even think the local AD carries this model...How do you like this watch? Like you--and perhaps due to my little know-how on the fine horological complications--I tend to go for watches that are time-only but where the case structure is quite unique. The Senator 60s is one such watch. I have yet to behold the oval structure of the crystal!

Only for elegant men, The Master Ultra Thin ,in Platinum

I recently had the occasion to admire a watch we often speak about...The Master Ultra Thin... And it's logical, as it is a beautiful and affordable watch. Launched in 1994, the MUT was offered in several versions, in SS of course, but also in White Gold w...  

WOW!!

Dear Nicolas

I get bigger and bigger internet bills every month because of you ...... but I'm not unhappy because of that au contraire au contraire .... Best

I'm not elegant so I'll do with the steel one...

Hi Nicolas, This watch is the best current Jaeger-LeCoultre watch IMO. Hopefully It will be mine soon. Cheers Dje

Very tasteful, Nicolas . . .

. . . and, if I may say so, the type of watch that doesn't get the attention and adulation it so richly deserves . . . I'm finding myself drawn more towards simple watches, and most of the watches I'm seriously contemplating now are time-only designs, or ... 

Yea, Nicholas!

Real nice

Real nice and elegant piece,must be very special watch to wear with suit

Very pretty!

It looks wonderful. I've never actually come across a MUT at a dealer. From the numbers, the 34mm would put me off, but it sure looks nice. Great macro shots ! Regards Mark

Our Moderator,do you own one too?

 
By: BHK9 : February 19th, 2008-06:28
Sir, No doubt its a loely one,like it in pt and wg very much.But do you own one? I just want to know from a person whom admires lots of big,chuncky watches.will you choose to have one? BHK9

I perfectly understand you

 
By: amanico : February 19th, 2008-07:09
As I took a long time to consider it, I have to admit, for a silly reason...The size. If you don't already have this kind of watch in your collection, you should think about this MUT... For its price, it's one of the very best, maybe the best!!! Nicolas

Very nice!

Its amazing how much variety there is in the Master Control Line.

Nice...but

 
By: drsh : February 21st, 2008-21:39
no sweeping second hands ("mock horror"!!!) what will the purists say...? but i love my 5140 anyway. thanks for lovely photos. There's a JLC boutique at Raffles Hotel with a huge, huge poster of the JLC tourbillon watch...and have been yearning for the Si... 

sh, s the lack of the central second a problem for you? <

 
By: amanico : February 21st, 2008-22:47
Really? I'm sure that it's nort a problem, as this is the lack of a central second that contributes to the purity of the design, IMO. Tell me sh, you had the chance to see the MR Sincere LE? Did you take any pic of it? I have one but I suspect it to be a ... 

I know everybody's entitled to their own opinion...

 
By: drsh : February 22nd, 2008-07:07
but i'm tired of other enthusiasts looking at my 5140 and pointing out that if only it has a second hand... No problem Nic...love my 5140, every bit of it...and love the MUT! Now with Sincere....They are killing me, man, with the DS, TZ and the LP (soon, ... 

sh, don't have regrets about the MMR Sincere Edition

 
By: amanico : February 22nd, 2008-07:21
I heard that it cots something like a Kidney and a Half...LOL I'd love to see a good pic of this watch, as when I prepared my review of the MMR, I was searching like a crazy man , desperatly, a good pic, and I fell on a photoshop one, or seemed to be one.... 

will try...

 
By: drsh : February 22nd, 2008-16:57
to get some photos and scan for you re : sincere MMR. I've never done that...taking photos at the AD bt i know many purists do it... cheers! sh
