A picture I took yesterday, and which I didn't photoshop. I have to work on all the pictures I took on a big part of the 2020 collection, but I wanted to share this marvel with you, and to show you, for once, a picture which directly comes out of my camer...

What was your emotion when seeing this?

I know the MGT MC quite well since its first version in 2010. So no surprise for me. It is the filigree here which makes it so special, compared to the former versions.

😉😉😉👌🤝👌👍👍

This one looks great in my opinion, more stylish then most grand complications. [nt]

Yes, even better in the real. Thanks, Reuven. [nt]

+1

I will feed your golden goose's nest then. ;) [nt]

Lovely pic .... no need for anything... the watch does the talking [nt]

Thanks. I will dig the topic a bit, with some better pics, though. [nt]

You don’t have to work on this pic I would say .

I can do better. But thanks for your kind words! [nt]

Great shot as always !

Count on me. I am working on that. I took some pics of the new Memovox Timer, too... And the Chrono Calendar. Time to take your pills. [nt]

Hmmhh, Dr Mamadu working with all the skills.. Will be enjoyable, I trust..

Hehe... Thanks, young Padawan. ;) [nt]

Isn't that something- beauty, art and high horology all in one package. Wonderful case n lug design. [nt]

Yes, I do think so, too. [nt]

Fortunately, it seems the filigree is as good in the metal as in the press photos, maybe better. I hope they'll continue to develop this style. [nt]

Even better. I was a bit skeptical, but in the real, I was positively impressed. [nt]

Do you know what was the inspiration for the filigree? And is there a larger brand strategy behind it? [nt]

I thought about the Atomium...

Ah, maybe. I think it's always interesting when a well-established brand introduces a new style, there could be a lot to say. [nt]

I just asked to the manufacture, I will keep you posted. [nt]

Thanks! [nt]

Would be nice if JLC came out with a time-only watch utilizing the filigree style...

I will mention its thickness. I couldn't weight it, alas, but I will tell you everything about this watch. [nt]

Thanks...and maybe get one of these...

Or maybe both! ;) [nt]

Good point...at least you'd make money at one of those professions... [nt]

;) [nt]

It's beautiful.. Love to see the back side [nt]

You will. The Cal 945 is worth a look. [nt]

Looking forward to seeing more. There was one from last 10 years that I absolutely loved. This one is unique!!! [nt]

Correct, the first one dates from 2010. [nt]

Yes....I have to search back . There was a version I saw that was basically perfection to me. The flying tourbillon, the bezel, thé stars in the dial. The blue. [nt]

It was the 2010 white gold. I préférée the stars to the 2015 rose gold. Just saw it in a post of yours :) professor! [nt]

Yes, here it is... I loved it but two things. It sounded a bit too aggressive, and the second point, the case, which was not as elegant as the 2015 version and even less elegant than the 2020.

It’s that combination of the stars and the tourbillon that I wish they’d continued. [nt]

I loved the dial, but I would have preferred other hands and would have chosen , at least, the 2d generation case. [nt]

Yes, the hands are a bit of a problem on this one, for sure. [nt]

There was a better version...

Yessssss......actually saw that today in an article you authored. Classic look, much better than thé dauphine. Reminds me.....the whole package of classic Bréguet [nt]

That would be the final touch of refinement. [nt]

I never heard it, but yes the sound on these can be so important. Your minute repeated is great. And the sonatina. [nt]

There is no match between the first and the second generation. The 2d generation is a milestone , and not only for JLC ,but for the other brands, as well. [nt]

That is a special piece [nt]

Definitely. More to come. [nt]
