Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Moon
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Moon, ref. Q169242J is almost never talked about.
Rightfully so? What do you think?
The pink gold case measures 41.5 x 12.1 mm and the watch is powered by self-winding caliber 983 which features a tourbillon, a moon phase display and a radial date jumping over the tourbillon (from the 15th to the 16th).

There is a confusion between the family name ( Ultra Thin ) and the thinness of the watch ( which is not Ultra Thin with more than 12 mm high ). A serious looking watch, accurate, but which never sang to me.
For that price, there is much better to find... Best, Nicolas
I have never understood the allure of a moonphase 'readable in both hemispheres'...
...I am in only one hemisphere. Great photos, and I agree about the not being thin part...
Just so that you can have an idea of how the humans of the other hemisphere see the moon...
Like in this Arnold & Son HM Double Hemisphere Perpetual Moon: credit: Hodinkee ...
Believe it or not, I could do that in my head : )
...but no, I get it...but in the case of this JLC, the hand over the moon is distracting...
Beautiful but a tad too big for a dress watch.
Shame they could not fit this in a 40mm or less case.
It’s a bit large indeed.
And the movement isn’t impressive to look at. Best, Emmanuel
