Amanico offers a distinctive exploration of the Jaeger-LeCoultre 2015 collection, moving beyond the well-known Geophysic True Second and Universal Time to highlight other impressive offerings. This post focuses on the intricate beauty and design of various JLC dials, inviting readers to appreciate the collection from a fresh perspective.

The true novelties, this year, were the Geophysic True Second and Universal Time, due to their new movement and their dials, the case being a Geophysic, but with bigger dimensions.

But that doesn't mean that the rest of the collection was unappealing.

Indeed, there were some impressive offers, which I invite you to rediscover, through their dials.

1/ Duometre à Spherotourbillon Moon:

2/ Master Calendar Météorite:

3/ Rendez-Vous Celestial Red Aventurine:

4/ Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication Rose Gold 2015:

5/ Master Ultra Thin Moon Black, and its superb soleillé dial:

6/ Grande Reverso Automatic Seconde Centrale:

7/ Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Green, London Boutique Edition, the latest and, probably, sadly the last of the series:

8/ Duometre Unique Travel Time chiselled dial, a version I will have to review as soon as possible...

9/ Geophysic True Second and Universal Time:

Of course, there were several offers I didn't mention, here, such as the many other Rendez Vous, or the Master Control Black, and, like every selection, there is a " parti pris ", some subjectivity, so feel free to repair the injustice.

If I had to choose my favorite among them or among the whole 2015 collection, I would probably go for the Geophysic Universal Time in steel, for its spectacular dial, its originality and its new movement.

Though, the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Green and the Master Control or Ultra Thin Moon have to be mentionned for their sublime dials.

I would also see a bit more of météorite dials. A bit more, not a generalized use, to tell all.

It is up to you to share your favorite of the year, my friends...

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The grainy white dial of the Geophysic True Second is particularly appealing, growing in favor among collectors as a strong contender for future acquisition.
The white grainy dials of the JLC collection are highly regarded, with a preference for seeing them in person to fully appreciate their quality. JLC is commended for its excellent dial work and potential for innovation in this area.
Between grained and soleillé dial finishes, the grained option is preferred for its aesthetic appeal.
The Duometre à Spherotourbillon Moon's dial work is impressive, but the author questions if it would be better suited for a different Duometre model, such as the QL, requiring more time for consideration.

I know it may be seen as the boring choice but I really like the grainy white dial of the Geophysic True Second. That watch is growing on me more and more

It\'s not time limited or a LE, right?

That makes it much more realistic. Still haven\'t had the chance to try the Reverso Gran Sport Chrono to see how I connect to that, the Master Compressor Memovox is a definite, the Amvox 2 will need to be sampled, and then there is this So by the end of 2017 I cannot imagine a scenario without at least one JLC

Anything you\'d say I definitely need to try that is not on the list?

As for alarms, will see first how much I will use it on the Master Compressor Memovox before committing to another one

How are the hour makers made? filled with gold? A very nice vintage feel on a modern piece.
