Blue beats black

I was very lucky to try on the new blue dial MUT Moon on Saturday and I have to say it’s STUNNING, it seems to be so much better than the blue RDM….it’s very tempting but I have the silver dial version already and except for the lack of 70 hour power reserve it’s all the JLC circular dress watch that I really want. This photo was meant for my personal record only (hence the quality) but as my favourite place for JLC chat is discussing the watch I’ll post it here

2021 Novelty: Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 Blue Dial. Some thoughts.

 
 By: amanico : November 3rd, 2021-09:26
Recently, Jaeger Lecoultre revisited the Master Ultra Thin Moon. They offer it in a new 36 mm case, which is really nice with its opaline dial and its " improved " Cal 925, and in a 39 mm case we know since 2011, but here, slightly slimmer as the first on...  

Thanks for sharing, Nico.

How did they almost-double the PR? Did they add another barrel?

Thanks, Nico.

I’d heard about the new oils, but didn’t know about the other improvements. 👍🏿

Pleasure, my friend.

This would be it for '22!

I do hope so.

Love it

I’ve been eyeing the petrol blue for a while. It could be sooner or later. Great post and great job JLC.

It’s hard to know for sure without live photos

But I bet that I would prefer the blue.

imagine this were manual wind 🤔 and 36mm, those were my reservations during my prior ownership of the white 39mm and which I let go for feeling sterile. JLC are getting close🤞🤞

Blue beats black

My advice is useless

Because I would go fir the guilloche dial lol

I have an older version of the 39 mm with silver dial and love it

 
 By: Radwatches : November 3rd, 2021-18:01
Certainly my most comfortable dress watch, and I think 39 mm is the perfect size for my wrist. I prefer the silver dial, as I am a sucker for the blued seconds hand. If there's one small change I'd consider making to the dial, it'd be to make the "31" on ...  

36mm is perfect!!!

Love the new blue dial as well!

What for me is difficult

 
 By: Weems@8 : November 3rd, 2021-21:09
I understand a brand thinks about design. Using hands that blend into the dial, hard to read time. A picture can be different than see the watch in flesh. Guilty to this, one of my favorite watches which i can not leave alone and get full wrist time is ha... 

Thanks, Weems.

Lovely pieces...

Thank you! I appreciate the increased PR. Other than that... the changes are verrrrrry ummm 'nuanced....' The moonphase looks essentially the same? What is different about it? I need changes I can recognize... chuckle! I really see little to nothing to sp... 

Pleasure, Mostel.

The dial is too clinical for me… cold and lack of poetry…

 
 By: Alfihar : November 4th, 2021-05:43
I’ve always preferred warm moon… Even though I think JLC has improved its caliber… this watch reminds me of a magnificent frigid woman… something is missing to make it attractive ... A moving screw maybe ... 😂😂😂 or something else…

I wore these watches on my wrist at the store when I was looking at the moon phases.

 
 By: Alfihar : November 4th, 2021-06:40
The texture of the dial reflects a cold, clinical light ... It’s personal taste, I know. in the photos these watches may be desirable ... but in reality - at least for me - nothing happens ... no emotion (I wrote emotion correctly). there is something too... 

Nice to go back to 36mm - great size.

I'd go for a black dial Cheers JML

in love with the blue!

 
 By: sebks : November 5th, 2021-14:34
it brings the "pop" which was missing in the silver dial (which i agree looked a bit "clinical") Does anybody know if already available in stores? Best regards Seb

Let me join the fun, and vote for the black.

The blue is nice, but I thought the black dial provides a better contrast for the moonphase.

Blue for me.

Black, Blue, White, Rose

A lot of my purchase decisions are about what gaps are in the watch box at home I tend towards Blue and White Gold/Platinum; lately, Black on rose gold seems to pop And 36 is quite small, even 39 is a little smallish J'adore le 39 Guilloché Blue Enamel --... 

For you...
