Excellent comparison post, Blomman.
The Master Control is a dign heir of the ...
A watch which nicely sums some of the Grande Maison Virtues: Understatement, accuracy ( as it was the first to inaugurate the Master 1 000 Hours control ), and timeless class.
A Classic!
As for the HT, yes, 2 years ago, JLC changed the case and the bezel, which gives a noticeable different look to the watch, this new case being also adopted on the new Master Memovox, and the new Chrono, if I'm not wrong for this latest, but housing a friendly complication.
Nice duo, and very interesting post, my friend.
Best,
Nicolas
Yet another neglected piece of art…
Hello everybody! Again I would like to put a light on something we not often discuss here at the forum. The classic Master Control series, if we talk about them it’s often about the MUT or in the other end, the Master Grand Reveil. But the baseline for al...
Happy to see
these two simple beauties receive some attention, Blomman! Five minutes ago I flipped through the pages of a used dealer and again I stopped my clicking when I came across these two. I think the main reason why I do not own one of them is that I never cou...
My pleasure Martin!
JLC has so many gems – it’s easy to forget or look past many of them… I thought a little reminder could not hurt Best Blomman
JLC fan?
Well, I think it would be difficult for me too deny that… :- Great photos of your classic! Thanks for sharing. Best Blomman
one important watch is missing in your Master collection.....
...it is Master Ultra Thin. but it must go for the old model instead of MUT 38mm or Grande UT 40mm. after seeing my pic, i am sure you will get one very soon... LOL. stefan...
Well Stefan…
There are a lot of them missing in my collection! I which I could fill all the gaps (actually giant holes) in my collection. But a big part of the fun is the way to get there! …and I am working on it! You are one of them that have inspired me to take a cl...

The Geomatic :-)
I can never get tired of looking at the clean and simple dial of the Geomatic! A fantastic piece of history! A question Nicolas – from which year is your Geomatic? Thank you for your kind words – it means a lot coming from you, my friend! You are a big in...
What year? THE Best year!
'64! Son with your Master Control you have a piece of JLC History! My pleasure, Blomman, you're too kind. Best, Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas!
Actually I am searching for JLC’s from -69. Do you know any that was released that year? Best Blomman
Well, I have something for you, but not sure it will help...
Extract from the '69 Catalogue: Nooo, it is not useful to thank me... Best, Nicolas...
Well - I wil any way...
Thank you Nicolas! This is maybe the closest I can get to a -69?! I feel more and more that it’s maybe time for me to dive in to the abyss of vintage watches… Best Blomman
We are a few to be attracted by Vintage AND Modern at the same time.
Past helps me to better understand, hence appreciate, Modern Watches. With JLC, the link between Past and Present is obvious. So, yes, it is time to have a Deep Dive! Deep Sea, or MM Deep Sea, Polaris, or Polaris II, here are some nice options, don't you ...
Yes Nicolas…
I would love to have any of them!!! Or all of them!!! I think I will have to start soon – otherwise I will go crazy Best Blomman
Also a big fan of the master Control
One of the 2 non-vintage JLCs that I currently own (well, technically speaking, it is 'almost vintage' now, being from the very early 1990's)...
wow clavi, what's a nice pix! congrats
realy a pleasure to see you attention for light, details! AFAIK one of the best pix and watch made last month. cheers. olivier
Thanks for your kind words !
You would probably be very surprised if you could see my photo set up ! Basically, the watch is wrapped around my wallet (black leather), which I put directly on the floor, not too far from the window. Then, I use a coffee pot as a support for my right ha...
the same way of Lord Snowdown ( famous photographer)
you know, there's no academic way for keeping the light. your solution looks like the idea of peter greenaway (english garden) or Lord Snowdown (both used large white sheets). I think your pix was well exposed; with +1/3 you should have less details in hi...
It looks like a Vintage, Clavi.
The dark color of the tritium pearls, the condition of the hands, and the overall timeless look of this watch contribute to its Vintage look. Real cool piece! Best, Nicolas
What a beauty, Clavi!
Love the oxidation – makes it look older than it is, and gives it character! Do you know what happened to make it that way? Moist? Best Blomman
