...JLC is distinguishing in design their Master Control pieces in two camps.  The Ultra-Thin case profile for dressier and more complicated pieces.  And the more robust (but still refined) case profile for the more simple and casual pieces.  This is welcome by those of us who aren't captivated by the sports models but want a JLC (or two) that we can wear on any occasion (or no occasion!).  I'd like to think the brand recognizes this, but if not---it works for me!  Thanks for the preview.  I await the "metal".  Best, Ken in NYC

.. the Reverso Triple Date caught my eye right away,
(and although I'm always into ss, even in RG for this one).
- the Spherotourbillion Duometre an eclectic piece,
but out of reach, anyway.
- Further liked the puristic Master Control ,
the DS Chrono a story of its own, but still reflecting
( element to make the trio ?)

My wife took a glimpse on the Lady's Reverso with the bracelet,
- little downside the Quartz ?

Nevertheless, I''ll still wait and see a bit, staying 'en garde'
- also still quite some vintages in the periscope.

Meanwhile many thanks for this early appetizer,
and wishing a pictureful, pleasant & interesting week !

Best, hs

PS:
- still ask myself: will there be a specific Tribute also this year
or maybe next time ?

No more Tributes, except these two pieces.

We need time to enjoy and digest all these new watches.

I will come back to each of them, my friend, no worries.

Best,

Nicolas.

Already knowing about the Reverso Rogue, the two stand out pieces for me are definitely the Master Control in SS and the Duometre a Spherotourbillon.   

The very interesting thing is that many of us will have his own champion, but in every case, it will be a superb Champion.

Best,

Nicolas.

love master reserve de marche and reverso calender!

39mm is my favorite size!

...of beautiful watches, thank you Nicolas. I however made my first
mistake on this forum. I was so interested in seeing the new
novelties that I invited my wife to join me in the viewing. I am afraid
that there may be a quartz Reverso in my/our future.

But, as my Contact at the Manufacture says " You guys, you  do not take enough care of your better half "...

Do I have to precise that my Contact is a lady?

Best,

Nicolas

...may be correct! However, in my case, I think that will change.

I expected no more and I am not disappointed.

My heart is already set on one particular model.

Best regards,

However the second one would have a steep price I feel.

my preferred remain the red reverso, beautiful.
Unfortunately, i have no JLC shop near home...

Not too far from your home...

This should not really be an issue.

Nicolas

Nice aesthetical improvements.

THAT is the great thing, this year, IMO.

Best,

Nicolas.

Quite some time since my last reply, but couldn't miss this one of course. Some really great stuff. Bit surprised by the new RDM. On the pictures it looks exactly the same as the old one, except for the hands. Love the new Master Control, it seems more right than the old one, more in line with the 37 mm version. Would have liked it to be a bit thicker, at least 10, maybe 11 mm, to make it a bit more sporty. For the dress watch I would go for the ultra slim.

Enough said about the Deapsea Chrono; great looking watch, but for me a tribute watch should have some real history. Still fantastic looking chrono.

Both Duometre and Minute Repeater are fantastic, what's to argue with that. For me those are true grail watches.

Thanks a lot for a great post, for you in much better conditions then last year. Enjoy your stay.

Best,

Starman

Which, coming from you, is not surprising.

As for the DS Vintage Chron, this is not a Tribute, but a play on what could be the watch IF we were in the late Fifties... Which is not the same than for a Tribute, where you have less liberty... In my opinion.

The RDM? Well, I  love the very elegant case, but here, as there, by the way, each of us will have his own opinion on that matter, I guess.

No absolute Truth...

The new MGT RM? I do prefer it to the Tivan model unveiled last year.

The Duometre à Spherotourbillon... A killing piece.

We'll of course have deeper discussions on each of these novelties.

Aaah, and ye, this year starts luch better than past year, which is not too difficult.

Thanks a lot for your kind thoughs and interesting comments, my friend.

Nicolas

Considering it!

That is the kind of improvements I appreciate a lot, in a brand.

Best, my friend. It is always a pleasure to read you!

Nicolas

Thank you. For bringing us this post Nicolas.

It's a very nice line up. Apart from the pieces youve already shown us beforehand my favorites are the triple reverso and MUT RDM and MUT tour billion. I just wish they didn't call it ultra thin, because they are not really

I hope you are enjoying yourself in Geneva. Take care my friend.
