I just want to see some new Duometres. Don’t we all. We have waited long enough.

Jaeger-Lecoultre Watches & Wonders 2020: A new Master Control Collection.
By: amanico : April 24th, 2020-12:32
The unveiling of a collection, in such conditions, is not an easy exercise. What to do? How the message will be welcomed when most of the people is living such an extraordinary moment, lockdown, fearing for their health and seeing Economy going down in a ...
this pure or minimalist dials are really well done...

i like the Master Control Calendar Chrono - with the splash of blue hands...very well played. also the MC Date - very very good daily beater i would say. in all cases...the only think that irks me is the 'automatique' Thanks for sharing Nico ! Best, mahes...
Nicolas, thanks for the very detailed report.
By: Reuven Malter : April 24th, 2020-12:41
I am really in love with these updates. JLC could not have done much better - bravo! I am particularly in love with the Chrono Calendar, a fantastic yet affordable piece. They have not done any shortcuts here, by improving almost every detail. This is qui...
The calendar chrono is the star of this show IMO
By: descartes1 : April 24th, 2020-12:49
A very compelling watch. I just wish the profiles of all of these would be slimmer, a complaint that I also had with the predecessor calendar and geographic pieces.
it looks great
By: Tyo : April 24th, 2020-13:08
I think I really really like the Master Control Chronograph Calendar. I need to see it in metal
Excellent report.
By: M4 : April 24th, 2020-13:10
JLC has done a fine job updating the Master Control lineup. The 3-hand/date and chronograph calendar models are my favorites. Thank you for the thorough review. M4
Love all the dail layouts ! Which is rare for my likings for this brand.
By: M@ster : April 24th, 2020-13:25
Only 2 small points of critic / - Off center crown but less visible (on the MC Date and the MC Chrono) - And previous mentioned Automatic script on the dial (but no deal breaker) Love especially the Chronograph Calandar and the MC Calandar. Well done Jaeg...
Wow!
By: 997c4gts : April 24th, 2020-13:32
Great review Nico! That Chrono Calendar and the Calendar both in RG really pop with the red day/month. Love the order where you leave the best till last!
Ok I will try and be thorough with my thoughts...
By: holdemchamp1225 : April 24th, 2020-14:30
First, I do understand that there were improvements made aesthetically and technically. I commend JLC for at least doing that. From these new releases for men in the Master line I prefer the new Master Chronograph Calendar as it combines the most practica...
No Duometre!?

Ha ha... the wait continues friend.

By: cory : April 24th, 2020-20:36
This time round or later in the year?
Very nice, and thank you for the report.
By: vitalsigns : April 24th, 2020-15:35
Nothing to really raise the passions here, but a solid effort by JLC. A refresh of a core product line such as the basic Master series of watches is always welcome, if done right. And JLC mostly seems to have gotten it right. It is disappointing that JLC ...
not the WT, but the UT.
By: Tyo : April 25th, 2020-05:32
another one I'd love to see improve is the MASTER ULTRA THIN PERPETUAL, I don't appreciate the moonphase. The new one is more beautiful.
Why? [nt]

I meant “ I’m not “
By: Tyo : April 25th, 2020-10:50
I’m not pleased with the hands, the font used and the moonphase. We are very closed to my perfect QP from JLC.
Thank you very much for this beautiful and extensive write up.
By: TheWindingStem : April 24th, 2020-17:10
I for one know that I NEED the MC Calendar. Love everything about it and it solved my issue with the older version where we had four lume plots with no lumed hands lol. Any idea if the dates jump between the regular days and what’s the accuracy of the Moo...

The Master Control Chronograph Calendar
By: MTR : April 25th, 2020-00:59
is a real beauty. Especially in this gold alloy. I have no problem with the “automatique”. Yes, this information on the dial is not necessary and redundant, but it fills the space on the subdial in a perfect way which looks much better for me than it woul...
An important update to an important line...
By: jmpTT : April 25th, 2020-06:28
The aesthetics of this outstanding line were never exactly my cup of tea, but I have a lot of respect for this collection and some of its past standouts, like the Master Ultra Thin. The incremental improvements made by JLC will hopefully to bring a new ge...
The calendar chronograph is amazing but...
By: aWtchslvr : April 25th, 2020-09:31
...there are two minor things I dislike. The seconds hand should be silver (I suppose they did it blue for symmetry) and either For 30 pulsations in french or automayique in english. Anyway I can not stop looking at it😃😃
Thank you, amanico!
By: Bounce781 : April 25th, 2020-16:34
I am liking this direction a lot! The triple calendar is a winner for me. I love the date indicator jump “15-16@ - very cool! Can’t wait to see them in the metal! Thank you for the comprehensive review!
Thank you for the great write-up
By: benlee338 : April 25th, 2020-21:04
I am particularly drawn to the Master Calendar Chronograph. Is it the first time JLC put this up this combo-complication ?
Always incredible insight to history and new releases Nico!
By: Darron : April 25th, 2020-21:46
I like the date ring marker and the idea of the jump across the 15 and 16th. Of course the Chrono calendar looks incredible as well. Well done JLC! Interesting they used the blue hand for the running seconds as well as the 30 minute timer. Both pieces are...
I like the improvements to the Master Control collection
By: rnaden : April 25th, 2020-22:23
For one, the case was due for a refresh a long time ago and I’m glad they did it this time and with a longer power reserve even if that wasn’t a problem for me. The calendar is my favourite and the JLC logo as the date pointer is a very nice touch. I can ...
I am waiting
By: riverside / Henry : April 25th, 2020-23:37
for a new 36 to 37mm Master Ultra Thin (40mm is too disproportionate for an MUT) steel version, and a 39mm Memovox (hopefully in burgundy colour).
Very nice, if only the chronograph...
By: Anatol : April 28th, 2020-01:44
...had a 12hour chrono scale instead of the running second! I really do not understand this functionally inferior configuration! Especially since the last Master Chronograph had a 12h stopping scale! So the chrono will not be on my list but the full calen...
I look forward to the New Chrono
By: Mostel : April 28th, 2020-17:03
I ask for either NO DATE OR (I would prefer this) Use the dial at 6 to contain BOTH a circular calendar like the Chrono tri-cal... AND An HR counter.... within... Ohhhhh... that would be SOOO hard to resist, no??? Would this not be the most perfect JLC CH...

Hi to all ,my name is Julius, I’m new here and must say I love this wonderful forum.I was watching the beautiful pictures of the new JLC watches and I couldn’t not notice on Master Control Chronograph Calendar that lume plot at 9 o’clock is well off cente...
Hi Nicolas
By: Juliusotto : May 18th, 2020-14:31
Thank you for your prompt response,I think that even when you’ll see the watches in real I doubt you’ll see the same watch that appears in the pictures ,so what I’m saying is that in any case something like this should not appear in JLC official reliese p...
