Living with the master ...

Hi all,
For a few weeks now, I wear everyday a lovely little watch. Nobody but me sees it and that's what I wanted. In my eyes, it is elegant, classy, smart, light, simple, beautiful.
Very glad about it (maybe not so much about the strap though...).
This is my first watch of manufacture. I also owned a Longines L2.518.4.78.3, another little thing. I'm not too fan of big watches.
I've been reading this forum for a while now, Glad to be part of the special world of JLC!
All the best,
Etienne

Much more elegant than the newer models, IMHO. Incredible how thin they got the case! One of my favorite watch reviews of all time was the review of this when it came out on the previous Purists website...

Yes, this review is one of the best i've ever read too ...

That really was (is?) such a special watch!

Great choice! This is one fantastic, under the radar ultra thin!

It's a beauty!

... Thanks for your message and the welcome! It was quite hard to find a watch that matched my criteria. Somehow I am quite picky and I really wanted it to be the best of its kind. For example: on my Longines which is a brilliant watch, very classy too, v... 

I understand what you mean about the date. ;)

So here they are JLC Master Ultra Thin (145.840.792.SB) and Longines Master Collection ( ). The JLC's thickness is a third of the other one!!! That's all Folks! Etienne ...  

Great choice

Hi The Master Ultra Thin is a great watch. Very much an under the radar watch, which for me adds massively to its appeal. It's still one that I would like to get thin, elegant and with more than a certain appeal. Enjoy wearing yours Cheers JML
