Jaeger Lecoultre SIHH 2015: Master Ultra Thin Calendar.
Feb 05, 2015,00:01 AM
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.
The automatic movement is the Cal 891/2-448 which beats at 28 800 vibrations per hour, offers an autonomy of 38 hours ( a tad short, though ) , and made of 275 pièces.
The case is in white gold. I am sure it would be interesting to have a steel version, with a black dial. But let's not spoil our pleasure.
Indeed, we have a nicely profiled case, with a lot of class, and a superb dial, with a triple date configuration.
The treatment of the indexes and hands remind me the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar decoration, in white gold.
One detail I would have liked to see: The date, in blue. It would have been nicer, I think.
Here are the live pictures:
A smart offer, between the MUT Moon 39 and the MUT Perpetual Calendar, don't you think so?
Best,
Nicolas
