If you could make this happen I’ll be on a plane over there to pick it up at the manufacture (if they would let us!).

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin 39 Black Dial, our next PuristS' watch?
By: amanico : November 9th, 2018-07:49
No pressure, here, at we have to think about everything, but I have an idea I want to submit to you before deciding anything. Here is the MUT 39 Jubilée, unveiled in 2013, and the rose gold version, which came just after. Let's keep the case, which is spe...
Fabulous idea
By: xxn : November 9th, 2018-07:56
caliber 849 needs to be back in non precious metal. The smaller diameter cases were perfect as its meant the movement filled out the space. As you probably already own(ed) that, you are trading off ultra thin in exchange for solid back. For me its got to ...
Not me

Already own a 1931tribute and MUTM so I need a manual display back. But thats just me.
I’m biased...

Because I own the rose gold version, but I’d definitely keep the hands. They give the watch an Art Deco vibe.
+1.. Count me in, pls !.. As to my minimal suggestion(s), see below !

1/ Love the idea, ss of course. 2/ Leaf hands are very much ok ( Maybe still a tiny little lume ?) 3/ Keep thin case=>> ie. obviously solid caseback; special engraving would be quite nice.. (IMO: Seethrough not that important, unless manual movement comes...
I like this great idea

1. Steel Case 2. Black dial 3. Leaf hands (this would be important to me vs. dauphine) 4. Solid case back. (Sapphire not a deal breaker as long as PP engraving on the back) If all the boxes were ticked being flexible on no. 4 I’d be in.
How many do we need? I really like this idea Nicolas.

A truly elegant PP watch and a high complication the ultra thin..... and within the grasp of mortals with an Uber cool design. Fingers crossed this pleasant dream comes true. Thanks for your great idea.
Would be in...
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-23:52
And agree to all your suggestions. Would prefer the solid case back to maintain the thinness. Great idea!
Parfait!
By: Ambos : November 10th, 2018-08:15
Great suggestion Nicholas! As you said: - steel - feuille hands - black dial(with crisp ar coating!) - glass back, the extra ‘thickness’ as the case back would be sunken in our skin anyway so they could maintain the spectacular blade shaped case Count me ...
Nicolas, I don't know what other JLC watches you have in mind ..........

......... for the nest Purists Watch. In my personal opinion, the icons of Jaeger LeCoultre are: 1. the Reverso 2. the Master Ultra Thin 3. the Memovox For the next Purists Watch, my preference is towards the Memovox. This doesn't mean the MUT isn't a goo...
Brilliant...!!!
By: Semper Fidelis : November 11th, 2018-08:08
Salut Nico and thanks for the initiative...! Would be on board as well - however as an alternative to the black dial, may I suggest grey (perhaps w sunburst?) to give a better contrast to a black strap and open the options to dark blue or brown straps whi...
Great Idea Nicholas..
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 12th, 2018-01:55
I’m just considering the options and will get back to you.
I'd be in
By: gpinto75 : November 12th, 2018-19:35
Also, interested in both your other thoughts. Efforts much appreciated.
I'm in...

Matt black dial & Solid case back s’il vous plait! Would be a damn elegant piece IMHO Best, Mahesh.,
i shd thank you Nico !
By: mahesh : November 17th, 2018-10:09
Appreciate your efforts...if you think of a Reverso (but not grande case) I’m in too Best, Mahesh.,
LOL! [nt]
By: amanico : November 18th, 2018-10:47
I wouldn’t be in for a black dial...
By: Tiggermelad : November 21st, 2018-16:47
... but as a Reverso has been mentioned can I make a suggestion? I still regret the passing of the Reverso TT 1931 and its related variants. The slim case, simple traditional dial, sword hands and wind movement perfectly show the elegance of the Reverso d...
I vote strongly for a Master Geographic.
By: descartes1 : December 13th, 2018-17:25
The current model in steel with silver dial is a dream piece and its travel theme would suit our the world wide connection between all the purists on this site perfectly. If you can make that happen I’m in!!! ...
I have an idea!
By: descartes1 : December 14th, 2018-10:31
Was PuristsPro founded in a particular city? If so, then how about if we were to designate that city on the dual time wheel (perhaps in a special color, like red). This is similar to what Lange does with the Timezone Watch for the special concours event i...
Great initiative!

However, from my personal perspective, I’m currently heavy on the sports/tool watch side of the spectrum. Something like this would be interesting as a dressy alternative. I would rather see something in the region of 37mm Best /Claes
