Master series question....
I commented a while ago that I thought that the current Master Control was one of the best- looking watches in the Master series. It seems that I am not alone in that view.
Anyway, my question is : does anyone know if JLC is planning to give a makeover to other Master models ?
I think the salient points of the makeover to the MC and the Master Calendar are the use of nicely- proportioned dauphine hands instead of the alpha hands, tidying up the dial ( for example getting rid of the reserve indicator on the M Calendar) and reducing the size of the case to 39mm.
To my eyes, other models such as the Geograhic, Chrono, Hometime and Memovox would all benefit from a similar makeover
I am not presently looking to buy ( I just bought a AP Jumbo so Mrs Archy has confiscated my credit card! ) but I would not consider the current models of those watches which seem to have been a bit of a mistake by JLC.
( Actually, what I would really like to see is an updated Master 8-day (I'm a sucker for an 8-day movement and a big date!). Get rid of the silly day/night indicator and the alpha hands, reduce the case to 39mm - with some nice lugs! - and tone down the details, and I'll be asking Mrs A for my card back! )
