Thank you Nicolas. The JLCMGTT is quite a name!

The blue dial is really cool, artistic and very well balanced considering all that is going on with this watch. Bravo.
I am wondering what it looks like in the sunshine, but you probably didn't get to take it outside. I actually do like the dial the best in blue, but that is just my crazy color perception.
Best to all,
Tim

A blue dial is always hard to resist....

But on a classic, traditional looking watch like this my choice would be the white dial. Harder choice for me would be between the white or the rose gold case.... Best Blomman
Many Thanks!

Hi Nicolas, By now, I think you know which would be my choice ;-) This is a wonderful photo essay, and it does justice to the nuance of the grained texture of the dial. For all the effort JLC put into the press photos, there's a sterility to them that you...
My feelings...

Yes, it seems that JLC favors a functional " finish ", which I'd call decoration, rather than finish. In the vein of the Master Tourbillon, indeed, while I would have expected something more from a piece of that price. As for a new Watch compared to a var...
Quite possibly...

Indeed, I'm very fond of this watch, and my hope is to see it (and wear it) in the metal before making a decision. While I was fortunate to see virtually all of JLC's SIHH debutantes in Miami about a month ago, the TCQP Blue wasn't among them. But I do kn...
Thank you, Nicolas, I only aspire to your high standard!

Words, I can manage... I cannot hope to match your photography! But when I finally get my hands on this watch, I'll be certain to recover this thread to post follow-up photos and additional impressions. Hopefully, I'll have chance to take a few shots of t...
A minor criticism: why must the name be so long?

for a watch that you will be proud to explain to friends, even saying JLC MGT TC QP Blue is ridiculous. Google's processing power must stumble over "Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique Quantième Perpetuel Bleu"! Mike
I've enjoyed a chuckle about this myself...

And it's not just this model, either. JLC's complications have been saddled with wacky names for a while now. Add limited edition status, and it can get out of control. Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme World Alarm Tides of Time Limited Edition. ...

Nice

I like it if it wasn't for the pebble dash/ crèpit finish of the dial. Imho too coarse a finish for such a fine watch. The case that it shares with its predecessors is also a tad uninspired. Am I too critical? Qui bene amat... Thank you for your presentat...
Nice overview

It is a nice offer from JLC but however, I must say I have mixed feelings concerning this watch and guess I can't decide until I see it in the metal (I only saw last year's white dial version). I imagine the dial looks great in blue, JLC has nice dial tex...
I like it...
By: Dave G : July 8th, 2015-14:54
I should say I like the artistry of the piece. I wonder whether it is too "flashy" and seeing it live I am sure is necessary. A question on the relief engraving on the rotor of the gold medal brought back by Jaeger-LeCoultre from the Universal Exhibition ...
Nice...although

that only raises the interest more :) I now wonder what each represent.

is very beautiful, but white dial from 2013 is more discreet and match for my taste:-) Ronald
