An old wrist shot of a watch I liked a lot: Jaeger Lecoultre Master 8 Days Perpetual Skeleton, platinum.

Unveiled in 2007, bought in 2009, traded in 2010 for a Lange 1815 Moon Phase Emil Lange. 

Why did I trade it? Because it was too close to my Master Minute Repeater Titanium, otherwise I would have kept it. 



Both... 



Best,

Nicolas

I totally thought....

at first glance that it was your MMR smile. From my perspective, you made the right choice. The MMR is the more unique-interesting complication. Cheers, Filip

You see? That was my problem. Thanks, Filip.

That's a sexy looking timepiece!

It really is. And the 8 Days was a great feature on this watch.

I am hunting for one

.... as so often, based on your pictures! I think it would make a nice pair with the MMR. Best Andreas

Thank you so much and best of luck in finding one. Only 100 pieces, in platinum.

I think the dial on the Titanium version is easier to read from the picture anyway. I agree having both might be an overkill and too similar. Both great specimen for sure

A pity as I really liked it, but I prefer my MMR....

 
 By: amanico : January 17th, 2022-19:36

I would pick the MMR as well

It is more... Conceptual and " fresh ".

 
 By: amanico : January 17th, 2022-19:44

agreed

Visually stunning. But legibility?

 
 By: MichaelC : January 17th, 2022-20:42
A little difficult for me to read.  I have a similar issue with very small subdials on "classic" perpetual calendars, so maybe it matters not.

Beautiful, without question.

Yes, but it gives you a good reason to stare at your dial. ;)

Gorgeous piece!

Nico those watches are amazing!! I’ve never seen them before. Superb pieces.

 
 By: Costa (aka Connie) : January 17th, 2022-21:35

A pleasure to post them again. They need to be better known.

 
 By: amanico : January 17th, 2022-21:39

Such a great piece from JLC’s renaissance period.

 
 By: vitalsigns : January 17th, 2022-22:51

From 2007, indeed. Same year than the MC Extreme Lab One and Duometre à Chronographe, and Amvox II DBS, among other things... ;)

I always to love the second photo

 
 By: tombub : January 17th, 2022-23:18
I love the watches, too !

Merci, Tom.

 
 By: amanico : January 18th, 2022-06:27

Great shots. I’m not a fan of skeletonized Diles so I think you made a great choice

 
 By: aperna : January 18th, 2022-00:39

Thank you, Tony.

Sellers remorse? 😢

 
 By: rip9er : January 18th, 2022-00:42
First time I’ve seen this and wow didn’t know Jlc made this beauty.

They made a lot of watches which are worth being discovered ore rediscovered.

 
 By: amanico : January 18th, 2022-06:41

Both show in an impressive way what JKL is able to do.

 
 By: MTR : January 18th, 2022-01:44
But like you I prefer the MR. Not only regarding the dial.
So for me you did the right decision to keep it.

Merci, Thomas.
