Fun post on one of the great JLC watches
I definitely have a clear preference among the several versions and that is for the titanium. There is not even a close second in the group. I love the presentation of one of the most refined and elegant complications as a concept watch, and the titainuium version achieves this perfectly. No other minute repeater looks like it. The 1833 edition is interesting looking, but I don't care for the "1833" tag at the bottom (almost as if they did not know where to put it, and I think it would have been better engraved into the case), but in the end I am not sure about the combintion of metals between the silver movement and the pink gold case. The platinums just don't compare IMHO.
I guess given the nature of this watch, the real question is which version and metal sounds the best?
Thanks for posting this. I can never see this MMR often enough.

JLC Minute Repeaters, a Family ?
I was waiting to be able to take decent pics of the new MMRs to prepare this topic, and to present them to you. In April 2008, during the last SIHH, JLC introduced 2 new MMRs, the " 1833 " ,and a Boutique Edition, which were, more precisely, completing th...

Great ding dong post!
Thanks for sharing these photos, the black boutique non LE i saw once here in Tokyo, sad to hear it itsn't LE because Platinum should always be made in an LE where possible! And i didn't know that the blued steel hands werent heat treated but were painted...
would prefer Titanium MMR more...
thanks Nic for this post, the comparison is interesting and stimulating. after reading your comparions, my choice would go for Titanium MMR. btw, wondering what would be the sound like? stefan
The sound is amazing Stefan!
And although i have not had the chance to listen to them side by side, i have had the chance to hear them individually on separate occasions, and the Titanium version does sound that little bit more clearer, not to say that the Platinum version isn't! And...
Well, Stefan,
After many weeks of comparision between the platinum and the titanium MMRs, I can tell you that the Titanium sounds higher, while the Platinum sounds matter. The titaniu_m sounds a bit louder, too, but just a bit. Best. Nicolas
Thanks for the post Nicolas....
Nicolas, I wasn't aware of the existence of the boutique edition of the MMR with the black dial. The watch really speaks to me! Regards, Chris
Nicolas....nothing new?
Hi Nicolas, I was expecting something special from JLC,kind of dishearted looking at both the MMR, They are like Face-Lift rather than total change over vy JLC,are they optting the Mercedes Benz marketing strategy???or perhaps the Basel/SIHH yearly event ...
Great post Nicolas...
thanks for sharing with us and thanks too for your teaching. All are awesome watches, with the beauty and level that JLC give us always, but my prefer model is the MMR titanium, is a impressive watch. Thanks Nicolas for your work. Best my friend. Emilio.
thanks Nicolas
thank you my friend for sharing these with us. I must say, like the rest of the crowd, the Ti MMR is by far the best looking piece. I was never so shure about the way they made the "half open" dial of the AL MMR. Maybe it had been more cool with just a si...
Two different schools, COD
The Platinum have open dials ... the rose gold and the titanium, too. No one of these has a skeleton dial. The Platinum are more old school, while the Titanium is maybe more " conceptual ". Really for different people, I think. Best, my friend, and see yo...
Superb post...
... my heart goes for the MR red gold. Definetly one of the nicest watch out there, IMO. The ultimate time piece! Thanks for the making us dream once again. Karim
Aah, Karim. One for the RG!
And what's not to love it? A classical color for the case, but an original open dial. Best of both worlds? I under rated it when I saw it in Geneva, last April, but there was an impressive crowd, and I didn't have the time to fully appreciate it. A few we...
i can't wait to...
... see it in the flesh. Unfortunatly, there is only 2 AD's that are JLC resellers in Beirut. One of them is has all the good brand, like PP, lange, VC, etc... but they ppl working there are the unbearable. They got the JLC perpetual squeleton, i ask to l...
ok the rose....
..............is astonishing! my first time seeing it. Sensational piece. Nicolas you literally NEVER cease to amaze me. Brilliant post (for the 1000th time.......) WOW.
Well said and put once again Nicolas
I personally prefer the black dial on the new MMR. Ive never been a big fan of RG, but it the MMR couldnt have been more elegant/classy without its compliments! Thank you again for the education and best for you my friend. Matrix.
and what's about wearing on the wrist...
because I'm a roucky on this forum, so impressed by this post! but, how could you have these watch at the same time? congratulations nicolas. for pix but almost, for your comments. last year, for the launch of the JLC boutique in lyon, I had have the occa...
