Jaeger Lecoultre 2016 SIHH: Master Ultra Thin Perpetual 39... Black.
Jun 07, 2016,00:00 AM
A new member in the family.
After the rose gold, white gold and steel, unveiled in 2013, and after having seen some black dialed beauties, last year, such as the Master Control and the Master Ultra Thin Moon, Jaeger Lecoultre had the good idea to give to the MUT Perpetual 39 a superb black dial.
The 2013 Trio:
A winner, in my book. Why?
First because the MUT 39 mm case is gorgeous. I really hope that someday, the bigger MUT cases will replace the Master Control cases.
39 mm big, 9, 2 mm high, the proportions are beautiful.
Then, the black dial adds strength, no, better said, an incredible power of attraction to this model, in my opinion, without loosing anything from its original elegance.
The demonstration of the fact that a different dial can totally, deeply change your perception of a watch.
The new king of cool?

Surprise: a new rotor, for this latest iteration!
To compare with the 2013 edition:
I cannot end without posting a picture of the first black dialed version of the Master Perpetual Calendar issued in the early 2000's which was a gorgeous watch, with its 37 mm steel case:
Interesting to see that the moon phase was originally located above the 6 o' clock hour marker, and that it moved below 12 o' clock with the Master Ultra Thin versions.
A good surprise from the 2016 collection.
What are your thoughts?
Do you share my enthusiasm for this one?
Best,
Nicolas
