Unfortunately, it’s not a brand fault but the “groups”strategies that’s killed so many dreams. They kind of took the magic away, in name of... well you know.
It will be difficult to make collectors dream again, and to attract new ones.
Let’s see

Jaeger Lecoultre Master 8 Days: The Real Good Idea.
By: amanico : July 30th, 2019-02:36
In 2003, Jaeger Lecoultre unveiled the Master 8 Days in rose gold and, so called Antoine Lecoultre in platinum: Limited to 200 pieces, in platinum. Then the very next years, we had a few limited series, in steel. Here " The Hour Glass " ( Japan ), 88 piec...

I remember these.

JLC changed the look of their Master Control range with a thicker bezel and different hands. I like the look of the black one best although I’m not a fan of power reserve indicators. Nice to see them. Regards Kev.
Love the look of the JLC Cal. 877 movement.

Agree wholeheartedly

It was a buzzing time.. but feels like someone took advantage of people’s genuine love in horologery and killed the romance. Mo
The Master (Control) line really pops beautifully in black..
By: Echi : July 30th, 2019-19:05
From the simple Master Control, Master Moon to the Perpetual to limited editions like this one. It just pops not because of the usual contrast that a black dial brings but pops with JLC class! Yep that ltd ed is really nice as well. Best, Echi
Love the 8 days movement

But I have to admit I am just not a fan of this mess of a dial design. One of the few misses by JLC from that era.
2 Things I really miss from JLC....
By: watchme : August 5th, 2019-09:10
8-day movements (with less than 50 turns) true Compressors (not the recent, single-crown variants). I hope JLC will return to these wonders. JLC was kicking butt 10 years ago. -Dean
