Jaeger Lecoultre Master Minute Repeater Titanium: 13th anniversary.
When the Master Minute Repeater was first unveiled, in 2005, it was the platinum version. It was such an instant love that I almost forgot that one year before, Jaeger Lecoultre gave birth to one of their most extraordinary watches, the Master Gyotourbill...
What a fantastic read! Thank you very much. The moment you picked it up and how you remember that day..
.... i know exactly what you mean! Great story.
For her 13th she has nothing to do in Paris
Allez fait lui faire un tour à Marseille ;-)
Come on we had plenty memorable times there
this one and plenty more, there and in Suisse-Air-Land ;-) *Unforgettable*
Happy anniversary!
The ultimate complication IMO. I remember going to the boutique with a friend to check it out. The Ti was also my favourite and the sound from it exceeded all expectations. Both of us wanted one badly but alas, there were other priorities.
That is a super super grail..
The pic of the watch on top of the cigarette lighter made me nervous!!!!!!!
I had noticed this watch in some of your other post, wow, what a special one!
Does not look like it aged at all?
Great story!
Hard to believe that this watch has already 13 years. The design has aged very well and it looks absolutely modern and contemporary.
Amazing piece, and still looks so fresh today.
Made in the era of JLC's Renaissance. This one and its platinum perpetual calendar cousin (skeletonized, ruthenium movement) are some of my favorites from the mid-00s. Is this a 41.5mm case? Big on the wrist, but probably not too weighty with its Ti case....
A love supreme.
I don't know you personally, sir, and yet I am moved. This is what true passion reads and looks like. Thank you very much, Nico. Cheers Marc
A great post...
... thank you for such an emotional post!! The MMR is a great piece and surely a joy to behold!! I was also looking for exact this piece but my search ended with another JLC - also a repeater but a different one - not less special. A story will follow... ...
Looks great! And I love the computer screen photo!
This is one of those truly great minute repeaters! Congrats on being able to own such a work of art!
I've got to visit the manufacture with you someday!
I've still never visited the JLC Manufacture!
OMG !.. What a piece, what a read. What splendid pics.. What thrilling feel, when you so kindly let me strap it on on a great Paris afternoon
This is one of my fondest memories, spending quality time also with your lovely family, once on one of my many visits to Paris.. I vividly see and FEEL that happy encounter and understood a bit why this great piece can distract, no how it catches people‘s...
Nico!!
I just saw your post and I am speechless. There is so much passion in your post which includes for me everything this wonderful site is about. You described your way to and with "her" ... heart warming. The fourth from last photo shows how beautiful this ...
