this version is different from the previous in many ways...
the sky chart seems smaller and blue dial is not done like the previous version where there is a depth to the blue colour.
The filigree is really an excellent addition. It gives the dial a substantial 3rd dimension. I like it very much. It looks really fancy on a watch dial.
I have no problem with the diamonds on the bezel for the white gold version. They are not too obtrusive IMO. I hardly notice it after a while.
The other change I noticed is the "sun" indicator that goes round every 24 hours. (shown in the WG photo above at 7 o'clock or at 10 hours of the 24 hours dial).
This indicator is a little small and not easy to locate on the dial because it is in white metal just like the indices and it is also hard to read the date of the month from it.
But I think overall, this latest version is real good improvement over the old. I do like it.
Thanks for showing us Nicholas.

ps. did JLC redesign the centrifugal regulator? It seems different from previous version.
Jaeger Lecoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication: Some new pictures of the 2020 Rose Gold AND White Gold Editions.
Here is my first " quick view " on the 2020 Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication. www.watchprosite.com At the time I wrote that post, I didn't have the pictures of the White Gold version. Jaeger Lecoultre sent me the official photos, and so...
Of course, Why didn't you say it was a Star Trek-inspired dial?
Was that the Corbomite Maneuver? I can't remember
I like the filigree and hope they will explore more ways to integrate it into designs.
The view of the movement is not really to my taste, however. I think I would prefer if it had more contrast in color or texture. (And no diamonds, please.)
White gold no diamonds...
...would be the best version imo. And the filigree looks nice, but the skychart gets almost useless then - not many constellations to see any more... That‘s why I prefer the former versions without filigree... Just my opinion.
