There is much discussion about the choice of movement...
Observations from other forums suggest the 8971 MC movement is actually a Jaeger-LeCoultre 846/1 manual wind caliber and yes, this would be quite small for the case. The movement is neither round nor square, but ellipse-shaped. To get an idea of its proportions, if you look at the rectangular minute markers on the dial, I'm guessing the movement would not be much larger than that. Fortunately lack of robustness is not an issue as the 846 has proven itself reliable from powering several models in the JLC Reverso line. Personally, I think this is a nice looking watch that's more about a classic design than "haute horlogerie".

Great News!
I am very excited about this watch. Does anyone know whether it will be available in white or yellow gold?
This is it !
Adorable watch FX and with the new dimensions, that are slightly larger than the classic size this is absolutely perfect in my eyes. Thank you for posting this live picture. GEO
Wow ! This is even nicer than my Tank LC XL Ultra thin
i will seriously consider this watch if I don't have my Tank LC currently. I prefer the smaller size and the guilloche dial Meanwhile below are 2 recent shots of my Tank LC which I still love a lot Cheers Robin ...
Thanks from bringing good news
and taking a great picture capturing the details from the dial and strap colour. I am definitely tempted to purchase as soon as it becomes available. Does the strap come with a pin or a deployant?
Thank you for the enlightening post! :-)
Will these watches be produced in a limited edition or are they part of the regular collection? I love the guilloched dials and the JLC movement as used in the Reverso is not bad either. Most importantly Cartier has made a wearable watch for the majority ...
