Yes of course those 2 or 3 but I understand if they did not. I just would like to see something more innovative as that would show the direction the brand wants to take 🤷♂️
This year has been crazy so far with COVID-19. I was hoping to see something which could turn it around a bit 😁😉
Jaeger-Lecoultre Watches & Wonders 2020: A new Master Control Collection.
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...
it would have enhanced the purity but may be we'll have a future opportunity to correct it ;-)
i also think the pricing is very well done... !
Nicolas, thanks for the very detailed report.
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...
No alligator strap. One reason could be a change of culture
We see in Carlifornia with a general ban. Just A few years ago, this piece would have gotten a gator strap for sure.
The calendar chrono is the star of this show IMO
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
I think I really really like the Master Control Chronograph Calendar. I need to see it in metal
Excellent report.
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
Nicely (re)designed, nothing surprising, nothing shocking, a pretty good job
The question is to know if we are not expecting a bit more. Anyway, this is the perfect type of watch for a special W&W and a special period... I mean a transition period Thanks Fx
Love all the dail layouts ! Which is rare for my likings for this brand.
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!
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!
Any chance we have some sport pieces?
I’d love a new designed sport line, with Chronograph, gmt or time only
Ok I will try and be thorough with my thoughts...
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...

Yeah I did... it’s really special!
I just want to see some new Duometres. Don’t we all. We have waited long enough.
Very nice, and thank you for the report.
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 ...
Hi, John, thanks for your very interesting observations. As for the improvements on the Cal 759, maybe JLC didn't feel the urge to do so because of the 65 hours of power reserve?
Which are too close to the 70 hours of the new movements? As for your design suggestion, I cannot agree more. 12 + JL + Jaeger Lecoultre, there is one line which is too much. I agree with your suggestion! And as for the Reverso, I am in total agreement. T...
not the WT, but the UT.
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.
I meant “ I’m not “
I’m not pleased with the hands, the font used and the moonphase. We are very closed to my perfect QP from JLC.
I just noticed the Master Control watches come with quick change straps.
In my opinion, this is long overdue and a big plus for those of us who like tinkering with straps (which is all of us, right?) Kudos to JLC for this customer-friendly touch. M4
Thank you very much for this beautiful and extensive write up.
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...
Does the date change instantaneously or does it drag? Same question with the day and month.
The MUT Moonphase guilloche had an updated movement with a new Moonphase that’s accurate to one day every 122 years. I was wondering if this one got the same moon accuracy update.
Beautiful, but no single heart beat of excitement
Well maybe the red reverso for a wife as a Condition Precedent before the my purchase after exciting launches form everyone come out
The Master Control Chronograph Calendar
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...
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...
Very nicely done JLC !!! Thanks Nicolas for posting.
Am I the only one disturbed with the position of the crown in the profile photos?
The calendar chronograph is amazing but...
...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!
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!
JLC read my mind! Working from home day after day I was thinking I needed a calendar watch 😁
I always thought the day of week complication was more suited for retirees or those living a life of leisure but after a couple weeks of pandemic lockdown I am absolutely starting to lose track of the days 🙄 Thanks for posting the detailed pics! The updat...
Thank you for the great write-up
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!
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
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
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).
