Jaeger-LeCoultre

Got myself a graduation present for finishing my undergrad. and the strap for when I feel like a change This one's running +10 over 7 days, I'm very happy with it. Up to this point I've had a citizen, then a Tissot quartz. And now I'm in the big leagues t...  

Congratulations -- both for graduating and for getting a fantastic watch. That is a great JLC to start with or even to end with. Obviously you learned something in school. ;-) Enjoy! respo

I'll be graduating in May and can't decide between a reverso, mut, or the master control. What made you choose this one?

Takman, The MUT was out because of a lack of seconds, though I did like the idea of a manual wind. MGUT has the seconds, but I felt if I'm getting a 40mm might as well get the one that feels better on the wrist and that's what I did. I wasn't sure I could... 

In my dreams could I ever have cultivated or even 'understood' your level of good taste and , apparently, good fortune... at 21...congratulations, sincerely. M

a cool watch for a great milestone well done

I thought it was fitting as well. Best, Jean-Bernard

What a wonderful watch you have chosen! I like to congratulate you to your watch and for graduation! Funny, the Master Control was my second JLC and I got it at the age of 31 years old. So, J-B you have a head start! Give her a good life! Best Blomman

I will definitely give her a good life. I'm finding the fine balance between enjoying it and being too careful. I've abandoned the idea of keeping it 100% free of desk driving scuffs, but I'm still expecting to have a long time to enjoy this one in great ... 

The Master Control is a dign heir of the Geomatic: Chronometric virtues, in a classic, sober yet elegant case. Through your choice, you showed great and mature taste. Congratulations! Best, Nicolas

I see you were following my search for the geomatic In the end I chose something more fitting to me. I knew I would not be able to fully enjoy the geomatic as a daily wearer, as I would be too careful with it. I do not regret my decision, the crystal case... 

Then not to worry about it, after a while. But yes, this Master Control is a superb first watch. I'm sure that you will explore, later, the Vintage Memos... Best, Nicolas

No message body

For both the graduation and the watch. You have a great start (and a MUCH earlier start than I had) with mechanical watches. --Sancerre

I like your choice for a first "real watch". It has a lot of class and sophistication in a timeless classic design. Kudos for getting both strap and bracelet - I don't think many first timers would put down the extra money, but the bracelets are just so c... 

I don't think I will be getting another watch for some time now. But my wishlist would be: Richard Lange, Master Control Chrono, Master 8 Day, and some form of JLC memo would be great. Perhaps in that order, but it will surely have changed by the time I a... 

Take a stab at the Memovox last! Once you dive in to that abyss you will loose yourself…! Best Blomman

so that's what the memovox alarm function is for: snapping out of the obsession? Keep well Nikolaj

YES! Best Blomman

I think that it only makes things worse. Has caused to go out and get a third Memovox alarm. It's a suprise and will post once I get it. all I can say it that one of Blomman's watches will have a sister again. Best regards, George

Go Memovox last – if you start with the Memovox you risk ending up with only Memos… If you start with all others first… Great to hear, George! Congrats, can’t wait to see her! Best Blomman

I like your list. I also maintain such a wish list and it is very much alive and keeps changing. Inspiration and desire seem to come easier to me than money However, once in a while I jump on a piece and I have certainly had watches that seemed very far o... 

but watch out you are no moving into dangerous territory. JLC's can become an addiction, I would know now that I'm on my way to my forth one, of course I am a little older than you. Anyways good choice and wear in good health. Best regards, George

... this is great choice for this classic to start with for your first watch, it won't go wrong at all in future. by the way, warm welcome to our club here. stefan

on your new piece and graduation...good luck in your future endeavours

This is my first post on this forum and I recently bought my first JLC -- the same watch as you -- on a bracelet. I live in humid DC and I wanted a nice, simple watch with a bracelet for summer wear in particular. It is a great watch and the bracelet is e...
