Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Jubilé Platinum, 2013.
From let's say the last 10 years, Jaeger Lecoultre released many stars, such as the Duometre, the Tributes, some Amvox, the Gyrotourbillons, without forgetting the Reversos.
We should not forget some Master Ultra Thin. And among them, this Jubilé, unveiled in 2013.
This watch has:
A very exciting profile.
A great dial. Even if I would have preferred other hands for that watch.
A platinum case, which gives a very pleasant density when you wear or handle it.
And a solid case back. Not that the movement is not pleasant to see, but it is way too small for that case. Even for the 34 mm case of the first Master Ultra Thin.
Last but not least, this watch was a bargain, when released.
Clearly one I missed, like a few others, such as the Tribute to Reverso Red, for example. Clearly one I would like to add in my collection.
Your thoughts on that one?
Best,
Nicolas

I fully agree with you :)
But would also like to try on the 34mm MUT on first. I guess that would be the more classical size but then it always depends on what fits your specific wrist And definitely the right decision to forego a sapphire caseback in this case - wish more brands ...
There I fully agree with you!
Definitely on the to get list. Unfortunately that list is getting longer by the day
I keep thinking and trying the 34mm MUT but it is too small for my giant peasant wrists
So I got myself a 38mm MUT and it\'s awesome!!! Same movement but more wearable for me. Also, it\'s the first Watch my son ever broke, so it has huge sentimental value Cheers
Thank you, Sir! I am blushing here :-)
I must confess I enjoy your posts a lot too. The only problem is when you talk about your collection - my "dream list" of watches grows. Have a great day!
I feel very lucky to own a 34mm and I wear it everyday...
... i can\'t find anything wrong with it. It is my most precious one, it\'s getting some wear but hey, that\'s why I bought it I really advise on the S version with see through back, the movement is even nicer with bleued hands, and it is visible at anyti...
To complete my post...
... the 34mm is far from fragile. Not that I tried my watch hard but so far, not a sign of weakness anywhere. Maybe this platinium version and its dimensions pushed the overall watch to its limits. If it is the case it should have stayed a prototype rathe...
Have always loved this one.
I understand this edition was not so popular. I am pretty sure an AD here in Melbourne Australia still had one when I last checked in late 2016
"Watches if Switzerland" Melbourne Australia
I\'m pretty sure they still had one back in Sept/OCT 2016 Email them if you are interested. I am sure they will ship overseas if required
If I see the photos
I am always remembering mine: And when I remember mine, I am thinking always: what a pity, that I sold this beauty! Anyway, I have worn the watch less than 10 times in the one and only year, which I have it in my posession! The ground is very simple: this...
Totally understandable.
Sometimes we need to actually own a watch for a certain period of time before ultimately decide if it's a keeper or not.
Too thin is the goal of this watch, indeed. Too fragile, too.
Finding a way to put the glass was a tough challenge, for that one. I had several discussions on that topic with JLC. Best, Nicolas
All of the above mentioned facts were crystalclear
for me. As far as I know, the special department of Jaeger was setting the watch, because of the little spaces for the glass! Although it is a simple and uncomplicated watch, for the above mentioned reasons the setting was the task of the department for t...
Very cool watch.
Remember eagerly trying it on when it was released at my local AD but could not appreciate how it wore on my wrist... almost too thin? The rose gold version I like a lot as well as it has a somewhat bigger presence when worn.
The only word I can come up with is elegance. I have tried other ultra thin watches but have been unpleased and felt that they were too thin and fragile. Not the Jubilee MUT. Is is truly a perfect dress watch. Certainly not anything else. It does make
met think about wearing a suit to work daily but that\'s never going to happen. It is a joy to see with its beautiful enamel dial and though thin with an appropriate amount of heft. I can go from a substantial watch to the MUT without worry.
Ah the MUT Enamel is another one. White Gold case, 1 mm thicker...
BUT... Quite desirable, as well! Best, Mitch. Nicolas
Yes, grained, not enamel.
Here is the enamel. On the right. The Left is the Jubilé. ...
It would suit me nicely!
I have a narrow wrist, the profile and diameter are perfect for it. The dial is very classy but like you I find the hands not quite as attractive.
Thought about this one recently
when I ran cross the RG version at the Airport on my way to the London GTG. Both are stunning, the Platinum one in its coolness while the RG adds warmth and sensuality. Had the chance to try the Pt on when it came out four years ago. Unfortunately the pic...
