The good thing is that anyone can find HIS MUT. The bad thing is that you can get lost, when you have a look at the whole collection.
JLC should pay attention to that, and from what I understood at the SIHH, they will take care of that.
Thanks for your feedback, my dear friend.

JLC SIHH 2014: Master Ultra Thin 38, 5 Automatic.
By: amanico : February 17th, 2014-02:39
Jaeger Lecoultre re thought the Master Ultra Thin Collection. The MUT 38, born in 2008, is now discontinued, at the benefit of this new MUT 38, 5 ( mm ) automatic version. At first glance, this may be difficult to understand, as the MUT 38 with its manual...
Very nice pics Nicolas, as always. I hope I am ......

writing on the right post, as not always;) I do prefer the 38.5 exactly for the reason you mentioned, the seconds sub dial looks more balanced and the longer indexes give the watch more elegant feeling in my opinion. I must say that I like the "old" 38mm ...
Elegance

I have to admit: I love this watch! The size, the balanced dial, and overall discreet charm makes it a great dress-watch. (IMO) Would I have preferred a silver-grained dial to an eggshell coloured dial? Yes! Or maybe even a version in white gold? Perhaps!...
I too, would have preferred a silver grained dial.

But I am totally nut for the white grained dial, so I lack objectivity. As for the difference between this MUT 38, 5 and the MUT Moon 39, you have to see them in the real to notice that there is almost... No difference. Best, Andreas, and thanks for shari...
I REALLY LIKE...

the varying index sizes. I've always liked the "art deco arrow heads" (as I refer to them, though that may not be accurate). On the 38.5, I like how they lengthen at 3 and 9 instead of shorten on the 40. This makes the 40's dial look much larger, but I wo...
" The whole enchilada ". ROFL!

I was planning to ask JLC to prepare, for my very next visit, all the UT cases, round and rectangular, to stack them all. For a picture. For us to notice all the différences, the variations on the theme. Hence you made me smile with the " Enchilada "... A...

An elegant offering. With clean simple designs like this
By: watchthatman : February 17th, 2014-08:13
the smallest changes, such as the index lengths or subdial borders, can make all the difference. And I believe that seeing in person is really the only way to evaluate. On the whole, they all have very good balance and gestalt. I for one am happy for all ...
I much prefer the 38, 5 to the 41.
By: amanico : February 17th, 2014-08:16
With that flatness, the 41 looks like an egg on the plate. The 38, 5 is more coherent, in its volume. In my opinion, of course! Best, and thanks for your feedback! Nicolas

I have the gmut, 40mm version rg with black face. It is a beautiful watch, but I can see how the 38.5 would make it more of a dress watch.
