The MMR-Ti is a great choice and the volume is excellent. Tonal quality is not the greatest however.
JLC Minute Repeater Ti
Dear Purists,
Seasons Greetings. I was at one of the JLC events in AbuDhabi in December and had the pleasure of seeing some of the rarest pieces by JLC including the one below. Since then i've been in love and feel that next year i will certainly pull the trigger. What are your thoughts? I do know it is limited to 100pcs, anything special or particular you know about the watch which you would like to share. Will appreciate your feedback on this..
Look at MGT as an alternative also
The Master Grand Tradition Minute Repeater will be an equally great choice. However it is larger by 2mm compared with the MMR.
The MGT offers a regulator display which is pretty unique. The guilloche dial is beautiful.The other constraint is that it comes in YG version only.
Hi Ovi,the watch you are showing is...
not a Master minute repeater but a Master Grande Tradition minute repeater.
The case is essentially the big difference here as its powered by cal947 which is the caliber of choice by JLC.
The MGT case is much smoother and softer,the bezel is rounder,whereas the MMr case is more sculpted.
The material is called Ti-Van which is a league of titanium and vanadium.A big striking feature is the gold hands and applied numerals and markers,which in my opinion creates a nice contrast with the coldness of the case and plates.
The dial aperture is a big bigger than on the MMR and shows the gongs even better.
In terms of sounds,definitely its a loud one like on the MMR and a pleasure to operate.
For me its a superb watch,a dream one really,and considering that the MMR is no longer available this is the repeater to have.
The Ti based case makes it comfortable to wear.
I think that you should go for it ,no brainer here ......lucky you..
Yours,Mo
Ti Van, a blend of titanium / Vanadium.
Still, I prefer the dial of mine...
