Is there a new black dial for Master Chronograph?
I noticed the other day a black dial Master Chronograph with different hands, tachymeter instead of pulsometer, possibly different subdials from before, red "Automatique" inscription under the logo and red dots behind the hour markers. Best of all (for me) is the black date wheel as opposed to white from last year. The font used for the date appears to be different too.
I did not see this model in the SIHH 2012 report or anywhere else.
Here is a pic of the latest piece I am talking about, listed under 2012 creations...

Comparison with the prior version in black...

I wonder if the two will be made available parallelly or will the older model be dropped. Personally, I feel the black date wheel is more subtle and harmonious. And I am always a fan of faceted dauphine hands. I don't know the name for the other kind of hands. Any clue on that will be greatly appreciated too

Well, Ruckdee, there are still two or three things you didn't see, yet.
But as you mentionned it, yes, this is one of these novelties... If I remember it correctly, it is made for Aston Martin, and you are right about the changes: Dauphine Hands, red dots each five minutes, white on black date, as well as the red " Automatic ...
Tend to agree, but here, it is discrete, at least, with this black layout.
If you want a nice one without date, have an eye on the Deep Sea Vintage Chrono... Best, Nicolas
Yes I agree that its subtle,
but i can t take my eyes off it,I generally dislike dates at 4 or 5 unless its well done(PSM Thalassa for example). The vintage chrono is very nice but maybe this would be even more my taste than the DSVCif it didnt have the date. Mo
I agree it is bothersome
But, boy, is this dial still nice. I love the details. I have looked at this thread now multiple times. I am just hooked. I say to myself use my ALS dato to fix the date issue but use this baby for my black and red fix. Thanks Nicolas for the pix. Joe
You and the Manufacture are full of surprises.
Thank you for the exclusive view of this piece. This version speaks more to me than the original. Looking forward to more surprises later in the year. Thank you. Ruckdee
Nico, you are bad boy again...
...you keep such good thing under your sleevs.... by the way, i really like this dial.... superb cool chrono. Stefan
of course, i can't agree you more...
... you know we like you always give us surprise... and drive us crazy to visit here every day, every hour, every minute... Haha cheer up, my friend. stefan
Nicolas, you've said that this...
...beautiful "new" dial is made for Aston Martin, does that mean we would have to buy a car in order to receive one of these? Or will they be available at our local AD?
I just saw it furtively. I am not sure you have to buy the car to get this one.
Will have to ask... But I was not ready on this watch, yet... Best, Nicolas
Sorry to "jump the gun"...
...I'm sure you have enough novelties to keep us dazzled until you reach that one. N
Late again, but much better!
Yeah, thumbs up for this version; classy and sporty. Like it very much. Don't mind the date now with the black background. Hmm, very tempting chrono indeed. What's that about Aston Martin? Is this going to be limited? Will there be an Aston Martin inscrip...
Not limited, and no AM engraved on the case back, AFAIK, and if I remember it well.
As for these hidden things... Well, it would not be fun to unveil all at the same time! Best, nicolas
Liking it much too. Although the actual piece and the promo pic...
...have different fonts for the date. I remember this was the case when the first version was released as well. Date font in the promo pic is sharper than the one actually used. Ruckdee
I like..
Don't know about you guys, but I prefer the 2011's hands.. Classy timeless yet modern in a way.. If there's nothing yet that urge me to get 2011's master control automatic, the pics from SIHH2012 surely does it for me, just my 2cents Cheers
Nice scoop Ruckdee
You had to force Vlad's hand to reveal what's under his sleeve! Well, at least one item under his sleeve. I kinda like the old lance hands too but the dauphine hands are consistent with the recent Master variants and the hour markers. Also, maybe 2 or 3 r...
First post
Hi folks, first time posting on this great site. I really like that black dial Master Control Chrono. I was planning to get a Compressor Geo soon, but if this will be available soon I would wait for this. If anyone has details regarding the availability d...
First of all, wlecome here, Mikey.
It is a bit too soon to answer you about the availablity of this chronograph. But I would suggest you to take contac t with a JLC Boutique about it. They should be able to tell you more, here. Best, and once again, welcome here! Nicolas
