Nothing new under the sun as this new case was issued in 2020 with the opaline dial, and in 2022 with the blue dial which already housed the cal 866 with its 70 hours power reserve. The blue dial, ( 2022 ). The new one: As you can see, the novelty is in t...

Very cool. "Quantième à date sautante" is a French term for a "calendar with a jumping date".

Your French is impeccable. ;)

That grained dial is sublime, it just pulls you in.

I will try to find a solution to take live pics.

Yess, it seems so.

How "certain" is the price? Very certain?

You are totally right. But are these JLC at the same level on that matter than a Dayto or a FPJ? And even if they were....

I know I'm in the minority on this but this but the JLC over the Daytona but not the F.P.Journe.

Don't get me wrong: Jaeger is above Rolex and FPJ, and even Patek, AP and so on... Horologically speaking. Only on the horological point.

Haha! Quite the journey!

Crazy, indeed.

I think there appears to be a moral to your story "Don't sell your watches" LOL

Well, he didn't loose, here. :))))

Very nice dial

I just don’t like their aesthetic

I hear you, mon ami.

This is my main gripe with the calendar watches from JLC

Would you prefer Breguet style numerals?

I don’t know on this one. No numerals perhaps?

Ah yes, I love that idea!

Absolutely. This dial is eye catching. I would love to see it in person, though.

That really is a beautiful and classy looking Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Calendar avec Quantième à date sautante

The Meteorite is really something, indeed.

I’m glad they improve the power reserve in these references. I’m somewhat disappointed in the PR in my.Memovox

They will do it. It is a matter of time.

Being a sucker for grained dials, I hope we will see more offerings with such textures

There was a partially grained one:

Definitely a rare bird. I had almost forgotten about this version. Have a great Sunday my friend, Alex

Pleasure, my friend.

Nice!

Thanks for your feedback, mon ami.

I love the MC, just as I loved my Master Moon...

Ah yes, I see your point. I think not even one millimeter, but I see your point.

Picked mine up today.

Bravo, Dave!
