the platinum. Like another poster stated, it does makes the watch look a bit "cold", but still very special to my eye. Thanks for sharing!

Jaeger Lecoultre MUT Jubilé 39 Platinum. Two pictures.

One of my friends picked his MUT Jubil 39 Platinum, which gave me the opportunity to see the defiintive Watch in the flesh, rather than the proto, and to feel the weight of the platinum case, as the proto was in stainless steel. In platinum, as expected,...  

Clean nobility.. Reduced elegance.. Still with cool appeal !.. Only..

.. the platinum always generates an almost cold look ; Having said so : - If I may ask : In which metals did the MUT Jubile come ? Only Pt, RG or maybe also WG ? < - secondly : Is the whole Jubilé in noble metal only, or are there maybe ss examples of thi... 

Two things, my friend...

The MUT 39 Jubilé only came in platinum. It was in 2013. The MUT 39 NOT Jubilé came the year after, in rose gold. The second thing is that the Jubilé, even in platinum, was a bargain... 14 K Euros! Best, Nicolas

Wow !.. Thx for kind info.. To some degree a surprise.. so you're right with price/object ratio

. This contributes to a bit friendlier equation.. I also deduct, that there was never a WG MUT Jubilee, Just the "Non- Jubilee in RG then.. Which raises the Q, what metal one prefers: Pt -> reduced, sober, clean & noble, really a hidden & cool elegance vs... 

There was a MUT 39 WG, but with an enamel dial...

Madly priced... Around 35 K Euros! Best, Nicolas

Ouuuch !!.. In that case I'd had already happily reached my Duometre target

.. 2015 - could be a year of decisive changes with my modest "collection", - the way, I have started to see it ! Cause I've started to learn from the masters & Dr Mamadu, who was very benign to me in 2014 !! At least, let's say, at year's start, there is ... 

Not yet.. But this one will depend on some project.. And then there are 2-3 options.. ;))

.. but I will consult Dr Mamadu, when the time really comes.. - Other than that, Yes - some smaller things look promising, for the first/ or 2nd part of the New Year - Lastly, there are still the unfulfilled agendas, such as: Rolex : 5508 (maybe also 5512... 

Well, I can still adapt all that.. & exchange it for 1 single catch, ehh ?.. Or just wait

.. The New Year will show, what's in the boxes !.. I'll try to be open & ready for several directions... But I can do that now, with a bit of maturation & patience, learned .. LoLL !.. best, hs

I love the hands on this. They appear very flat, are they? Your photos are

really getting good Nicolas!

Every part of this kind of watch is very challenging.

For example, take some too thick hands, and they will be stuck between the dial and the Crystal. Go for a thick Crystal, and you compromise the balance of the Ultra Thin case. Same for the dial. Everything must be super thin. Best, Nicolas

I briefly saw this one in the metal in Miami, but did not have the time to look at it.

I will hopefully check it out again soon, in Las Vegas, and also, hopefully the 1907 in rose gold. My ultra thin obsession has been sparked in part by the VC 1955, and I would love the chance to see all 3 in the same day! Simple elegance in design is much... 

We always mean complication = mechanics....

It can also be all about aesthetics! Best, Nicolas

Must say I really like this one!
