1684
Correction: rose gold....
the yellow gold would have been marked 140.1.89, as JLC's codification is VERY EASY to understand:
First 3 digits are the watch reference
4th digit is the case material (1=yellow gold, 2=rose, 3=white gold, 5=steel/18kt yellow gold, 7=yellow/rose gold, 8=steel)
5th digit is the band (same as above, but adds 4 for leather with deployant buckle, 5=pin buckle)
6th digit is the dial color (0=white, 1=champagne, 2=silver or light gray, 3=ivory, 4=dark gray [like the Reverso shadow], 5=brown or red, 6=blue, 7=black, 8=black opal, 9=jeweled dial
7th digit is for specialties about the dial (A=English calendar, D=Deutsch, F=French, E=Emerald-set, R=Ruby-set, etc.)

Watch of the Day: jaeger Lecoultre Master Control Yellow Gold, 1992.
In the 1993 Catalog, it is written: " The closer you look at the Master Control, the more vivid your memories of the Fifties and the automatics famous back then "... And they linked it to the Futurematic, which indeed belongs to the Fifties. But the Maste...
I always liked the first generation of the Master Control best! :)
The bezel, the solid case back.... Best Blomman
Thanks for looking, Padj. It is always good to post pictures of watches we don't often
Discuss... Best, Nicolas
It is.
And you do a very good job of that, Nico. I see so many watches I've not seen before; or have forgotten about; or just haven't seen in a long time, coming from your posts. I hope to see many, many more!
Thank you, Padj. It is surprising to observe how short our memory is.
Maybe because there are too many discussions about novelties? Best, Nicolas
It is a lovely watch
Pared down to the essentials. Although I like it even better in stainless steel. Thanks for reminding me of it

Alltime Classic.. Quite sober in ss, but fancy in gold.. A fine watch - not more, no less
.. Also, the Master Control Medaillon is a very nce feature, but also a mark of quality. And also lots DNA, as you mentioned,of the past of 50ies, and the noblesse f the 69ies. Thx for this share of one of LGMs classics.. Best, hs
