these pictures demonstrate the IMO unrivaled proportions of the classic JLC master moons.

Jaeger Lecoultre SIHH 2015: Master Ultra Thin Calendar.
By: amanico : February 5th, 2015-00:01
For those who found that the MUT Moon 39 dial was a bit empty, the new Master Ultra Thin Calendar is a pleasant alternative. Same 39 mm case, 9, 9 mm high, exactly like the MUT Moon 39 ( which is, once again, not ultra thin at all ), but not less elegant....
Indexes and hands are grey, HS.

Here is an official picture: A black dial... Hmmmm... Like this one? I am a big fan of " Ultra Thin " cases which are very elegant. Best, Nicolas ...
I like it

Compared to the MUT Moon, this complication, especially the date is legible, and doesn't distract from the balance of the dial. I like it a lot...now, just to wait for the steel version...
Nice.

But for me the best watch in this class is Blancpain complete calendar. The new system, correctors under the lugs, make it very appealing. Furthermore,, this Blancpain is one of the watches that started the renaissance of mechanical watches. Best, Kari
I agree. And the crown of JLC

is easier to operate while the folding clasp of Blancpain is really nice. Best, Kari
Look great but...

I'm still thinking of the meteorite dial you posted. However, the white dial is a fine update to the collection. -MW

I do like the UT cases, to a degree, but I feel that the UT cases have taken on too much of a feminine quality...thin bezel, relatively thin lugs, and a proportional but small crown...the 39mm size is perfect, though there is a fine line between elegant a...
Interesting point, John.

I found the 37 mm Master Case quite nice, and the problem came with 41mm +++ cases. Too chunky, they lost their " grace ". Look at the MMR Ti, with its 44 mm case. Gracious? No. But, in this " case ", the overall conceptual look of the Watch works well. N...
Well, if the hands and indices...

are in the black or charcoal - as in your pics - I think it will be a nice sister piece to the 18ktW QP. The press-kit pics were a little bland, I thought, so I hope JLC keeps them as they are in YOUR pics. As far as steel goes, this dial with BLUED indic...
Absolutely, Nicolas!

And it "solves" a problem of the MUT Moon: the size of the numbers on the date ring. ;) Best! Marcelo
Flipped dates?
By: NT931 : February 9th, 2015-04:41
Hey Nico, could I ask what the final version of the MUT Calendar's date arrangement will be? I noticed something odd - in your first 2 pics, the dates in the lower half are not flipped, ie. they're "upside down" like the old 37mm Master Moons. But in the ...
