Overall my favorite is the Reverso.
Reverso is what got me started on JLC. I'm partial to Art Deco design. But the MUT is definitely something very cool, comfortable, and great for those French Cuffed shirts! And you do get a feeling that you're wearing something quite special!
Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin 1907 White Gold Enamel.
There are some watches which stay stuck in your mind. This is the case with the MUT 1907 White Gold Enamel. Yes, it is one millimeter thicker than the MUT Jubilée, ( 5, 05 mm instead of 4, 05 mm ), because of its enamel dial, but who cares? The profile is...
That IS nice..
Strange but lately I’ve started to develop interest in two handed watches. I used to think less of them but this very, very pure piece is very attracting. Reduced to a minimum but a really beautiful dial, nice hands and a nice case. Even the thickness is ...
JLC produced some stunning and very well balanced two-hand watches: MUT34 and Reverso TT1931 to only lost two.
Two hands can look lot in a dial if their lengths and shapes are not chosen gracefully. Writing on the dial can bring confusion too, but the two models i listed are perfection in my eyes! Best, E.
Yes. True. They can look lost and sometimes too little is going on with only two hands
I agree with your two examples.
Sublimely beautiful!
But yeah, that platinum Jubilee, what a spectacular watch for the money! The more I think about it the more foolish I feel for not owning one.
Get the MUT 38!
I own both the MUT Jubilee in platinum and the MUT 38 in steel. Top reasons: 1. Cost, the Jubilee is expensive because of the platinum case and it's very limited. An excellent MUT 38 in excellent condition can be had for around 1/3rd the price of an excel...
The different variant of small MUT are indeed beautiful. My MUT34 is a great example and i would happily get the whole family: black and grey dials could be added to the collection!
Yours is very nice too, thanks for sharing! And your frank comparison will surely help potential wearers! Best, E.
The MUT 34 may be even better of a choice than the 38 for those who want more authentically sized watches...
Since the MUT 38 has a case that is way too large for the very small diameter movement.
I thought so. Gorgeous timepiece. I really enjoy my 38mm MUT in steel.
After COVID is over, we need to go to the factory, take the top bridges off, have them put shiny anglage decoration on the edge of the plates and bridges, and have them put the watch back together again. This way I can see nice finishing from my sapphire ...
Live service from the factory
Hi Patrick, You are raising a very interesting point I wondered for a long time. Is it possible to see "live" service at the factory or the London boutique? I may have to give my Reverso Grande Reserve for a service to get it adjusted (it starts losing ti...
Good question... I can't speak for JLC on this one...
It's not possible here in the USA as I don't recall a single store in the USA having an in-house watchmaker. However, certain stores have an in-house watchmaker, where you could ask the watchmaker to take a photo for you... I'd give the watchmaker a big b...
That is a very nice piece! This is my favorite MUT.
Hmm! I wished they had an enamel dial on the Jubilee piece. But my favorite is actually the standard Master Ultra Thin (MUT) 38 in steel. It's got a great silvered dial, and the wider strap is much more comfortable to wear than the thinner strap on these ...
My Jubilee in platinum has an enamel dial? It doesn't look enamel at all!
Maybe mine is defective! Mine looks very dry and matte.
You make excellent points!
That 38mm MUT is actually my first love when it comes to JLC! I never bought one, though, and have spent *most* of my JLC time with Reversos. Maybe it's time to reconsider! Question: am I right that this watch requires a 21mm strap?
Overall my favorite is the Reverso.

Love the enamel dial
Wife got me the platinum jubilee as an engagement gift. When I saw the enamel one I was like crap, but sighed relief when I saw the price difference. Here’s a photo of my son chewing on it. Only bummer I’ve had is sending it to service 4 or 5 times in the...
Was running 10-15 MINUTES fast
Wasn’t magnetized, was running super fast somehow. Sent it back to me unfixed even tho they claimed to have done a full service, it took several trips to correct it. Did the same thing a month after the service warranty expired and refused goodwill repair...
Wow, this is a watch to my liking - plain and simple, two-handed, manual wound, enamel dial.
What a fantastic piece! But... with a dark-colored dial, it would be even better (for me, at least)! Greets, Ron
