 By: amanico : December 13th, 2018-14:32
I just discovered the brand new Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 Guilloché Enamel at the Manufacture, today. Only press release pictures, I couldn't see the proto as it wasn't available, yet. But let's have fun. Imagine you are at the head of the marketing team,...  

It’s a yes from me !...

A single casting for the moon ring & numerals

 
 By: cazalea : December 13th, 2018-14:58
Nice long sharp hands Made in Switzerland Ccurved strap ends match the case Alligator strap in blue (appearance) Good diameter Moon's blue sky doesn't match dial's blue (I hate that) Funny crown What did I miss? Cazalea

Several things... ;) [nt]

JLC cocktail time [nt]

Haha.

 
 By: cfn : December 14th, 2018-02:48
Good point. Does remind me of the Cocktail Time dials from Seiko.

I would highlight how beautiful the watch is ... while also...

 
 By: alphabeta81 : December 13th, 2018-15:06
... making the insane outrageous price in super duper small font hoping people might miss it ;-) When I saw it, I thought it was literally 2x what this watch should be

If you don't mind...what is the price?

 
 By: Questlove : December 14th, 2018-06:01
tried to look for it I could not find it...just curious..

35K for this is insane....i would've thought marginal price increase from the rose/white gold models...

 
 By: Questlove : December 14th, 2018-06:58
if that price is confirmed, I am not sure how successful this model would be......

Gorgeous watch

 
 By: vitalsigns : December 13th, 2018-15:25
The carved date numerals are very nicely done and the frosted ring looks great. The dial work looks meticulous. The coloring and overall the watch seems very feminine--nothing wrong with that, but I don't view it as a man's watch and therefore it's not fo... 

Nope. Looks feminine to me.

 
 By: vitalsigns : December 13th, 2018-15:34
Others may view it differently, of course. Will be interesting to see live pictures. Thanks for the coverage. It really is a lovely piece by JLC.

I agree

 
 By: cazalea : December 13th, 2018-16:19
Yep, just throw a satin strap on it and Bob's your auntie (as the Brits might say) like my wife's IWC with fancy dial ...  

Hmmm...not bad, not bad. [nt]

 
 By: vitalsigns : December 13th, 2018-17:09

By the way, I got a kick out of the "Bob's your auntie" comment.

 
 By: vitalsigns : December 14th, 2018-09:57
Had not heard that one before...LOL. John

I look forward to your report, and live pics.

 
 By: vitalsigns : December 14th, 2018-09:56
Nothing compares to seeing live pics and the watch in the metal. Cheers, and thank you for bringing this one to us, John

No date? ..... ;-) [nt]

 
 By: nafetS : December 13th, 2018-23:11

Reported to be upgraded movement with 70 hr power reserve. I truly hope this is a harbinger of many new movements throughout the catalog....

 
 By: remarque : December 13th, 2018-20:38
Is a new manual movement with central seconds too much to hope for now? Sign me up now for that modernized 39mm Mark XI... Enjoy your visit, Nicolas. Marc

J'espère c'est vrai! [nt]

 
 By: remarque : December 21st, 2018-12:16

I see a Seiko Shippo comparable

Dial wise

an one line message may be....

 
 By: mahesh : December 13th, 2018-21:47
'' the only watch you will ever need to complete your collection'' or ''elegance restated'' or ''your wait is over'' i know you can do better than that... BTW...i'm impressed, 1 day in the manufacture you already got us 1 sneak peek my friend - better you... 

LOL!!! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 13th, 2018-23:18

Very, and I mean VERY elegant

 
 By: JLCman : December 14th, 2018-00:15
Now I’m really curious about the further new JLC in 2019...

EXCEPTIONAL, but.....AFFORDABLE?

 
 By: vitalsigns : December 14th, 2018-11:16
JLC does exceptional very well...

Afforwhat? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 14th, 2018-12:12

 By: amanico : December 14th, 2018-12:47

Affordable?

 
 By: cory : December 14th, 2018-12:45
Of course not! 😂

The dream is free for everyone!

Another picture from Instagram.

 
 By: Tyo : December 14th, 2018-01:23
Me I don’t like it, too many blue and details with the dial and the subdial for the date , I don’t like either the shape of the hands. ...  

My god

 
 By: Watch_kha_wen : December 14th, 2018-02:21
Their pieces are even better each year... I don’t earn enough please stop that jlc!! Kev

oh my god oh my god !

 
 By: Watch_kha_wen : December 14th, 2018-07:09
can't wait to see the whole new collection next year !! (but I stay in love with my very first mechanical watch, the reverso tribute) Kev

And you are right! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 14th, 2018-08:56

Love the date marker.

 
 By: Saz : December 14th, 2018-02:34
Engraved steel? The blue enamel looks gorgeous!! Can’t wait for the real thing!

I don’t like it.

 
 By: Horo_Traveler : December 14th, 2018-05:48
Not my cup of tea. Waiting for something more inspiring. Looks like they caught the Vacheron pricing disease.

A "sum of the parts" miss.

 
 By: Horo_Traveler : December 14th, 2018-06:21
The've had a design issue for some time now with their dress watches and this doesn't reverse that malady.

What do you call a dress watch? A Master Ultra Thin Jubilée platinum? A MUT Moon, enamel or not? A Duometre? I think it is hard to generalize.

 
 By: amanico : December 14th, 2018-06:27
Now, I am quite happy they are working more and more on their cases... I have to say. Best, nicolas

I mean classical thin dress watches.

 
 By: Horo_Traveler : December 14th, 2018-07:49
I like the execution on the Duometres, just not on their "Master" line. They need to find a good balance of drawing on their tradition without ending up with boring or incoherent designs. But that's just my opinion.

Thank you. We look forward to your report from the Maison.

 
 By: Horo_Traveler : December 14th, 2018-10:08
I love this brand and would like re-engage with them once they sort themselves out.

The dial

 
 By: Garyhsmith : December 14th, 2018-06:02
has a noticeable depth to it. I like the detailing. I’ve been looking for a blue dial dress watch, maybe this will be it!

Interesting watch...

 
 By: benlee338 : December 14th, 2018-06:47
But have to see actual to be sure. Dial sunburst wave pattern reminds me of my Seiko Pressage blue. Price point is not attractive though. After owning Seikos enamel dials, it is hard for me to justify paying 10X for enamel dial anymore.

Limited to 100 pieces! [nt]

 
 By: JLCman : December 14th, 2018-07:54

Yes, you are correct. [nt]

White Gold. [nt]

by the way now I remember

 
 By: Watch_kha_wen : December 14th, 2018-09:32
this dial looks a lot like the cellini blue dial Kev

Comment of Fratello Watches

 
 By: ninolitaliano : December 14th, 2018-10:23
It seems as if they are targeting a slightly different audience with these Master Ultra Thin watches than the 50-year old dentist driving a Volvo they did in the past. This Ultra Thin Moon Enamel is definitely something that will appeal to a larger and pe... 

I think I saw the price around 30K

Kev

"50-year old dentist driving a Volvo"

 
 By: Horo_Traveler : December 14th, 2018-10:51
That just about sums up the Master line from my perspective. And I don't believe this design (or price) changes that.

He he he... ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 14th, 2018-12:11

ROFL! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 14th, 2018-12:46

Correct... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 15th, 2018-09:15

$$/hour of power reserve.

 
 By: Horo_Traveler : December 15th, 2018-16:16
Now I understand their new pricing strategy.

He he he... [nt]

Is the dial a new technique for JLC?

 
 By: Mitch K : December 22nd, 2018-10:25
Is it a product of the same process that produced a certain line of Reverso's a year ago (the ones that had the paintings not he verso side and a certain one that I posted a picture of recently)? If so, it is incredible as the visual depth to the dial is ... 

Thanks. Thought so. [nt]
