Jaeger Lecoultre re thought the Master Ultra Thin Collection.
The MUT 38, born in 2008, is now discontinued, at the benefit of this new MUT 38, 5 ( mm ) automatic version.
At first glance, this may be difficult to understand, as the MUT 38 with its manual movement was a very desirable Watch, but...
But, there is the MUT 39 with its awesome case, much thinner than the MUT 38, which appeared last year in the Jubilé collection ( platinum case, limite to 888 pieces ), and unlimited, in rose gold, this year.
The MGUT 40mm will stay in the catalog, which was a question I had in mind, as both the 38, 5 and the 40 share the same dial.
The size is in the appellation of this Watch, but you have to know that it is 7, 58 mm high, to be compared to the height of the former MUT 38 ( 6, 31 mm ).
Sober, efficient, elegant, you have a classic dial, with a superb small seconds, complimented by a great case. Thin, rather than Ultra Thin, though...
Did I already tell you that I am totally in love with these Ultra Thin cases?
This reference will be available in stainless steel and in rose gold.
Here is the rose gold version I could shoot at the Manufacture, during the preview of the 2014 collection.
And here a groupshot of three MUT, from the right to the left: The former MUT 38, the MGUT 40 and the all new MUT 38, 5 for you to appreciate the differences.
You will notice the longer double indexes in the MUT 38, 5 compared to the MGUT 40.
Another point which is interesting to see is that the small second subdial is more present on the MUT 38, 5, due to the fact that the dial is a tad smaller.
Looking forward to reading your comments and thoughts,
Best,
Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2014-02-17 02:52:13 This message has been edited by amanico on 2014-02-19 03:31:43
