I saw both new MUT and Grand MUT...

Several times the protos, and lmately the production watches.

I can tell you that both are gorgeous.

I like a lot the dial of the Grande MUT, with its sunning elegance, and perfect symmetry.

The small second is verty fine, and this watch " smells " Quality ".

But, as Clavi and other said here, it is not anymore an Ultra Thin, but a Thin watch.

If I have to compare both movements, I mean the MUT Manual and the Grande MUT Automatic, I'd say that I prefer the MUT Manual, for its better finish.

It is my own preference, indeed, but at the end, it's up to you to decide, and in both cases, you won't go wrong with these 2 Beauties.

Hope this will help you in your decision.

Please, let us know the way you're thinking, and your final decision!

Best.

Nicolas

New Master Grande Ultra Thin

By: emcquillan : December 22nd, 2008-10:29

Has anyone seen the production model in the metal yet? If there are any new owners out there, please post pictures. I am eager to see this new beauty I noticed that Jaeger-LeCoultre recently updated their website to include the new Ultra Thin collection.

Yes I saw it !

And the PG version is gorgeous ! In fact, i was a bit disappointed by the SS version, I thought it was a bit too "quiet". I didn't feel any emotion on my wrist. That's not the case of the PG version. The ivory dial, the PG case bring a very classy atmosph...

There is a new manual wind

"My only concern is that I would have prefered an handwind caliber" - the good news is there is a manual version as well The JLC communication is not entirely clear but dropping by the Paris boutique the other day cleared everything: There are in total th...

I know but not with the 40mm case. ;-)

Thank you Nicolas

I think it will be a difficult decision, but perhaps one will speak to me on the wrist more than the other when I actually get to see them in person

Wise decision,Emcquillan.

To me it is one of the prettiest watches released in 2008

By: bill2016 : December 22nd, 2008-14:30

but I cant help but be disappointed. The 896 movement that powers this is meant to be a sub-seconds version of the 899 found in the Master Control sans date. It ends up being an even thicker movement (3.9mm vs 3.3mm) even though it is called an Ultra Thin...

Interesting

Forget the name...

By: BDLJ : December 22nd, 2008-17:33

I agree with you on the name re to the thickness

Finally got to look at the Grande Ultra Thin in the metal today

By: bill2016 : December 23rd, 2008-00:18

and as I made in my earlier response, it really is a stunning piece. When I was handling this piece, it really was like a steel version of the VC Patrimony Contemporaine. But alas, the case felt too thick. The thickness wasn't in proportion the the style ...

What version of the MUT did you choose?

By: amanico : December 23rd, 2008-01:00

The SS, the normal RG or the 1833 Edition? Both are stunning, I'm very curious to know. Congrats in advance, and please post pics as soon as you can. Best. Nicolas

Thanks Nicholas
