Jaeger-LeCoultre

To avoid any confusion, let's first say that Jaeger Lecoultre didn't add the " sector dial " mention to the name of these three watches. It is a new version of the Master Control, Géographique and Chronograph. All of them have the same case ( 39 mm for th...  

I knew it had to be coming! The chronograph for me. Very clean, a legible dial, and IMO a very fair price. Tempting offering from JLC. Thanks Nico.

For me all three are to be opted for their "non-sector-dial" older counterparts. +1 especially on the flawless "coherence" (well-put ) with the chronograph layout. I would prefer them all date-free, but it is still not too bad to see they only kept it on ... 

IMO a big step backwards. The modern elegance of the previous versions has been eradicated and I don't find anything to love about the sector dials. Maybe you can clear something up for me: Originally I thought that these new sector dial versions were rep... 

I have a few of their watches but I\'m not a fan of the new sector dial Master Control watches. They have printed dials. I think JLC is hoping to attract newcomers to the brand but those who already own their watches will clearly see that they\'ve cut cor... 

I can't comprehend why they mix both serif and san-serif fonts on the geographic and the chronograph. Especially on the geographic, where SIHH display piece font types are different from media photos, i.e. "Swiss Made" was in san-serif on media/online cat...  

Whereas I would love to have a classic sector dial, and keep hoping for JLC to come out with a new watch that makes me want to run out and buy, these pieces are not it. I completely agree that the basic version with date is fatally flawed by the awkward d... 

Maybe we'll have some surprises? Best, Marc, and thanks for taking the time to share your elaborated opinion with us. Nicolas

but they sure arent shining light like the new memovox!

In this selection, the chrono is the nicest and most cohesive, IMO, with the Master Control looking good too. I don't quite mind the date here, but that they sliced off a portion of the inner circle annoys me sufficiently. Whether I'll pick one up, probab... 

... Geographic version of this piece. Except for the skeletal hands, it almost looks Cartier-like. - Scott

... With an inner-ring, or the font that was chosen for the numbers. Reminds me of a Rotonde, which is a good thing. - Scott

for it to haunt my dreams. I prefer the raised indices of the previous models. Gives the watch a bit more depth and dare I say, a bit more class? The "sector" version seems a bit flat to me. I doubt if the price difference is a strong value proposition as... 

But these sector pieces aren't my cup of tea. Perhaps to be seen in the real?

But they are very different compared to their predecessors. The overall style is much more casual. Printed, flatter dials; lack of applied numerals and indices... They are cheaper, and they show it. I hope JLC keeps the classic Master line intact and have... 

I agree that the composition of the sector dial is best in the chronograph, but personally prefer the time (and date) only. Not sure why, just a reflex judgement based on photos. Must try them in a shop to really decide.

chronograph but the hands don't go with the dial IMHO

Hi Really like the dial - would be better without the date. Though it does have date - which not a killer. Not keen on how the date window bites into the in circle on the dial Cheers JML

"automatic" written on the dial could have been of interest for me. Sorry JLC. Thanks for this post and photos Nicolas. Cheers, Patrickh

the master control as you say would have complete without the 'date' window + 'automatique' on the dial - would have been an immediate buy! The Master Chronograph is the clear winner among the 3...i like the two tone and the bleu fonts works well too. i'm... 

I absolutely love this range that they introduced, and I will give my reasons here: 1. I love silver and blue. Even though dates are not ideal, with the blue font, I find it very alluring, matching the hands, and the blue markers. 2. I had a soft spot for... 

I have the feeling that this line will have its fans. Those who are in the hunt for something ccoler, less formal than the " normal " line. And they are quite fairly priced, too. Now things are perfectible, that is the interest of our discussions, here, o... 

Thanks for stirring the discussion!

.. +1 on that for me, the painted dials vs the applied indices, are less "classy", and are not made up for by other positive characteristics or specs.. 2/ My biggest disappointment is the Sector Geographic: for me the loss of PR and especially the abandon... 

that the Master Control is very nice, and I like a date, but prefer a date at 6 o'clock for the subtlety and balance of the dial. That would have been superb. The Geo is nice, although I found the upper part of the dial empty - or should I say that the lo... 

The Geo in this dial configuration looks empty, but isn't it because you are used to the " normal " Geographic for years and years? As for the Chrono, I find it quite interesting and, better, charming. Remove the useless " automatic " mention, and we are ... 

But the chronograph is my favorite. I expected more from JLC but to be fair they cannot deliver at the same level every year. Constantin

Without the blue accents... The Chrono looks very nice! Only thing that bothers me here is the "flatness" of the dials. Best Blomman

I like the chronograph most! I don\'t have anything to add that wasn\'t covered already, but wanted to share my enthusiasm for these pieces. I think they represent a great design/movement/value combination, and are a worthy addition to the collection. Two... 

The sector dial on the simple watch really doesn't look well proportioned, the date window looks too inset! This appears to be less of an issue on the 500 Euro more expensive version. The Chrono does look good though. But overall the Sector dial is too bo... 

I like all of the new sector dials. They are refreshing and different than other watches in their price point. I came close to getting a Master Control Date over the past few months. I\'m glad I waited. I will buy the sector dial date when it is available... 

Chrono Sector is my choice of the three. Perfect Balance

.. I miss both the PR & circ date, good it at least kept the day/ night indicator, if I see well.. Still this model sort of lost its raison d\'etre, or let\'s say the UT takes over the world time aspect . Full agree for the Dector Chronograph, clear, Unob...
