The 2011 JLC Master Control Date: The Asian Market

Nov 23, 2015,13:56 PM
 

With in the past week I picked up a one owner JLC Master Control Date. While the warranty card showed it was sold in February 2012. Research showed it to be a 2011 Master Control Date made specifically for the Asian market. The case diameter is 37 mm as opposed to 39 mm for N.A. and Europe. It is what I would call minimalist: satin silver dial,with only hour markers, in black, at 6, 9, and 12. 3 is the date window, and there are 5 minute arrow markers. No minute tracks or marks in between.  Other than the JLC  trade mark,  and JaegerLeCoulter,  plus Swiss Made at the bottom of the dial in extremely small font. The hour and minute hands are highly polished or treated. The seconds hand is blue steel. That's it. A very sophisticated, expensive looking, and clean appearing watch on a black alligator strap, with folding JLC buckle.

Here it is... And even worse... I wrote something about it! www.watchprosite.com should consult my doctor, urgently... Best, Nicolas ...  

I've heard of this watch, but I don't think I've ever seen it.

The older 37 mm Master Control is more commonly seen (the one with 'Automatique' at 6 o'clock). Do post pics.

Side-by-side with the regular Master Control
