Lume, I think it would destroy the thing... Thin case is mandatory. Under 10 K euros, too. 2019 early 2020. I would love to convince JLC to make a watch for our virtual home. [nt]

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin 39 Black Dial, our next PuristS' watch?
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
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 remember this watch at SIHH 2013, it was the best value SIHH watch of that year in my opinion.
Oh, and a big "mooooo" to that crazy footwear!
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...
And agree to all your suggestions. Would prefer the solid case back to maintain the thinness. Great idea!
Sorry, while in General a Fan of JLC and also this watch, I'm Out.
At least in this Combination. I already own a steel/black dial time only Laurent ferrier and a White Gold /black dial time only vacheron. I'd think about it, If it were Rose Gold or yellow gold with a black dial.
Parfait!
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...!!!
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...
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 !
Appreciate your efforts...if you think of a Reverso (but not grande case) I’m in too Best, Mahesh.,
if you make a black dial...
i got to find a white one in the market to make it B&W ;-)
I wouldn’t be in for a black dial...
... 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.
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!
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...
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!).
We could have a GTG and party! Lol
Nico if this comes together (especially if it’s the Master) please save my space on the list.
How cool would it be to have a JLC with Vallee de Joux as a city on the ring! I don’t know of any other dual time/timezone watch that uses this special place for a designation.
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
