Henryrover proudly announces his third Jaeger-LeCoultre acquisition, the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual with a black dial in steel, a piece that captivated him with its slender profile and perpetual calendar complication. His post, featuring a group photo of his JLC trio, invites fellow collectors to appreciate the nuances of this elegant timepiece and its place within a diverse collection.

Master Ultra Thin Perpetual, with black dial in steel case.

Many good points has already been shared by owners here, so I would just reinterate one point: I was simply smitten by the slender case with a perpetual calendar when tried on. No return since then...

The dial shows colors from light grey to charcoal to deep black under different lighting.

Finally, a JLC group photo with Reverso Duo and Master Hometime

Edit: too thrilled that I forgot to upload the photos

Key Points from the Discussion

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual's instruction manual can be complex, making it challenging to operate, especially for those accustomed to simpler dual-time JLC models for travel.
The black dial of the Reverso features a beautiful and highly technical guilloché pattern, distinguishing it from the simpler dials of other JLC models.
Despite being mechanically complicated, the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual is considered an interesting choice for an everyday office watch due to its elegant design.
The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual appears significantly smaller next to the Master Hometime, despite only a 1mm difference in diameter, due to its much thinner profile.
There is a desire among collectors for a blue dial variant of the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual, indicating a market for more color options in this reference.

Yet "complicated" inside, I find this watch really interesting. Been thinking to wear it as an every(working)day office watch, any thoughts ?

On a serious note, the black dial on the Reverso has beautiful and highly technical guiloche pattern while another two are simpler to make I think

The clarity on the date dial is better on the silver version
