We agree that the writing should be removed, on this one, and on the HM 11.

You are absolutely right, I don't see the purpose of these writings.
For the res,t the enamel moves me, as each time I see an enamel dial. But her,e you have a big PLUS, the case... Spectacular.
Let's see if they remove the writings on the definitive Watch!
Best, Mo.

JLC SIHH 2014: Master Ultra Thin 1907 Rose Gold, or White Gold Enamel.
By: amanico : February 24th, 2014-00:03
You loved the Master Ultra Thin 39 Jubilé, but you preferred a warmer version? So this one is for you. Same case than the Jubilé, 39 mm big, 4, 05 mm high, but a rose gold case instead of the Jubilé platinum. The dial is the same, at one exception, a very...
Yes ,a big Yes..

On both versions,even if the "email gran feu"is a clear winner…. That writing?,well in this case I can understand the necessity of maybe break the whiteness of the dial….but overall its the concept that I don t like much,just the description of the watch ...
Yes, please Mr. Riedo, eliminate the writing...

of the Enamel Grande Feu. I think to have it, like a BILLBOARD, is NOT classy. I think subtlety should be the rule of thumb for enamel dials. PP on the 5119 (vs 5116), doesn't let you know it - except by the price tag. JLC should follow suit, or at the ve...
They're all beautiful, but I like the Platinum the most
By: watchthatman : February 24th, 2014-15:22
Not to take anything away from the white gold, which is beautiful, and would do better without the "email", the platinum just hits me harder. It could in part be the leaf hands on the white gold, but I"m not quite sure. The profiles of all three are amazi...
Well, all the no colored gold guys risk to think the same. ;)

Your input made me smile, as I am feeling the same. The Platinum has a big merit: It was the first to come, the surprise / WOW effect. Now, it is a matter of taste, some will prefer the warmer look of the rose gold. The enamel is ultra nice, but the wordi...
A Welcome Return to The Essence of the MUT Line
By: Tim_M : February 24th, 2014-20:51
Thank you for the outstanding on-scene reporting. After a few years of expanding the MUT line (literally and figuratively) with larger watches and (admittedly appealing) complications that pushed the outer limits of acceptable "ultra thin" dimensions, it ...
Very well written Tim.
By: amanico : February 24th, 2014-23:09
It is indeed a mtter of choice. I prefer the leaf hands on the whie gold, and I am fascinated by the enamel dial, too, for the same reason you eloquently wrote: The high complexity of making an enamel dial on such a thin Watch. But, to me, a platinum case...
Beautiful watches...

...and I would be happy with any one of them! I like the warmth of the 1907 compared to the Jubilee (at least it looks a warm rose gold in the first picture, although more of a yellow gold in later pictures). I love the idea of the enamel dial, but agree ...
The first pictures I took of the rose gold version were of a proto.
By: amanico : February 24th, 2014-23:51
Which can explain that... You are right, Archy, it is all about tastes and personal préférences. But one thing seems to be clear, there is a clear unanimity on removing the wording on the enamel dial! All the best, and thanks for your feedback. Nicolas. ...
Will have to see them in the metal
By: stromer : February 25th, 2014-13:43
I had the chance to try the Jubilee edition in platinum and that was quite amazing for its low profile and simple elegance. The certain je ne sais quoi that makes these "simple" watches work or not work is probably impossible to catch in photos. So I am l...
rose gold...

... i was lucky to see the rose gold today, what i can say, it is simply awesome! stefan
