Hi all, In avant première, and for your eyes only, the new Master Calendar has a new dial. To stay objective, the Master Calendar is not a new Watch. In 2012, it was revisited by Jaeger Lecoultre, with a reworked case, bezel, and dial. It came in stainles...
I prefer the steel version, much close to my taste, and, IMHO, a better result: very nice the blue pointer on the date hand... The measures are good, I think it will be a pleasure not only for the eyes but also for the wrist... With this kind of dial, it ...
.. I still am in love with these cal.- watches, and I cherish my three, watches, ( one Vintage, two mod), that have this natural class, without being too much . That dial is superb, the meteorite apparently contributing to an almost 3D effect, or depth- g...
This has been a good idea! I never got really excited about the Master Calendar. That's mainly because to me it looks too static, too conventional. At the same time it lacks that certain je ne sais quoi that makes the MUT Moon special and desirable to me....
Which makes sense, since it is not that common nor easy to find and work on such a material. As for your last question, Martin, I don't know. AFAIK, this is the very first time JLC works on a meteorite dial. But the outcome looks promising. I just hope JL...
Each time I go to the Manufacture, I spend at least half a day there, if not more. So many marvels to rediscover. As for that Master Calendar, the dial changes all in a dramatic way. Very tempting, I must say. All the best and see you soon! Nicolas
Great ,great move ,cmon,Big Brands please be less conservative,dare! Go for it! Great choice,it makes sense...Rose gold for me please. Strange not to have equipped a bigger watch with it,but it is a great start.... QL in Meteorite?Where do I sign? I also ...
Granted, cost is the issue, but I would dream of the steel look with a moon phase that is white metal on lapis blue sky. And the moon have some type of metal working. Yes, I know I own the VC EP perp chrono, but I love the meteorite dial and would love to...
that this is new territory for JLC - extensions into "exotic," or in this case, "extra-terrestrial" dials. I'm not one for meteorite, normally, because it's not "classic," so I think the shelf-life is shorter, however, I will reserve judgment until I see ...

It immediately made me think of the Speedmaster Soyouz Meteorite dial. The alliance of raw material and gold craftmanship is quite interesting and I wonder how it looks in real. Surprising move from JLC for this side of their collection. Thanks for sharin...

Have to see from the metal to know for sure. Promising so far :) I like the steel version. Somehow I think Meteorite dials (and grey dials in general) work better in white metals for me. Dark grey or black or brown can work well with RG. My personal taste...
...I applaud JLC for "dressing down" a relatively dressy watch with a unique material well-suited to its moon phase complication. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.
... do you know how to set to the correct date an old watch left for months without having been rewinded? do you have to wind it day after day passing months and even years if necessary until the correct date? I am just wondering who the movement works. T...
Despite my adoration for grey and gold together, I really think the steel model here accentuates the refined looking moonphase dial. I seem to recall meteorite being popular some years back, but not so much recently. Leave it to JLC to highlight this awes...
