I am gladly introduce you my last purchase of this year: The one and only, the incredible MASTER MOON! Such a perfect proportions! Do you see the moon laughing? Well, this Master Moon is not an ordinary one. Can you guess why? Truly yours, Adam ...  

The answer is

NO! Interestingly, I noticed just now, that the watch has a german calender.... To my defence, I opened the box only in Christmas Eve... Many thanks for your compliment, dear Nicolas!

LOL! [nt]

a very nice one indeed. Congratulations! And quite unusual to see one with German date discs Best, Martin

Dear Martin,

many thanks for your kind words! Wäre der deutscher Kalender wirklich so besonderes?

One of the prettiest JLC's IMO

So balanced dial. Personally I woulden't hesitate to wear this watch as an "every-day" time-teller with the bonus of an attitoonal complication added. Verynice images too! All the best, Bent

Well,

You captured it very well: it is the older version with 37mm. Only the fact is that I found this watch new in 2019 at an AD laid in a drawer for over 15 years makes me very hapy. But no, it is not the speciality, it is only good luck. The “normal” Master ...  

Mine goes

at the moment about plus 1-2 Sec. per day, and the watch was never been serviced. Do you have a picture from yours? Yours, Adam

Very good! No pictures of mine. It’s the standard black face though

A watchmaker once told me that JLC didn’t bother to regulate watches that carefully leaving the factory since they might sit in a store for a long time. Glad to hear your watch is running so well straight away.

It

is not ( only ) the dial which is special. Better redefine: if the dial has another colour at a Jlc watch, it has always a special meaning and feature. Here is a little help ( from my friend ): The devil sit always in the details, as usual... Yours, Adam ...  

Sometimes

it is closed. Sometimes not! ...  

Many thanks!

Voilá, here you are: And do you know, which Models has the so-called hunter caseback? ...  

Only two Models:

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : December 31st, 2019-12:08
the Platinum and the Whitegold. Like the Sith lords, there are always two of them: but who is the master ( moon ) and who is the apprentice??

Platinum! [nt]

 
 By: ektaylor : December 31st, 2019-12:14

Yes,

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : December 31st, 2019-12:33
the Master is always the Platinum: But mine is the poor Whitegold: ...  

True,

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : December 31st, 2019-13:16
the apprentices are better with time as the masters... And yes, this one is more rare as the platinum one and very sophisticated: nobody can tell it that he is a real ( jedi ) master...

Technically, it's the Master Calendar...

the Master Moon has red font for the day and month and is 37mm, not 39. -Dean

No,

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : December 30th, 2019-10:23
it is the real Master Moon with 37 mm diameter.

Dear Dean,

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : December 31st, 2019-06:27
the discs weren’t change at all: all the black dialed stainless steel and redgold Master Moons come with the red font and numerals. Please see my pictures from the old Jlc Catalouge: But the platin Model has white font and numerals with blue background: Y...  

If you see closely the details of the dials

of the Master Moon and the Master Calendar, the differences are obvious: Master Moon: Master Calendar: ( Courtesy of the net by the Master Calendar ) Master Moon use the word “Automatique” while the Master Calendar “Automatic”, the place of the “Jager leC...
