Yes ,yes indeed..
A very breathtaking watch,i agree that the chromatic contrast here plays a big difference,it makes the RG MMR look somehow...old.
This is definitely an improvement and from a collecting point of view makes it a desirable golden marvel.
My concern is about wearability,rose gold is the most in your face type of gold ,a very loud material.On such a big watch it will take a lot of determination to make the decision to wear it.Depending on the person ,you could pull it off,but the long term wearability?
Nico you have had almost 5 years of your MMR and imagine if you had it in RG ,would you be bored now?I really appreciate the big depth of the newMGT but i fear that at this level,the Tivan has a wearability advantage,unless you want to wear it just every now and then and take it out for special occasions.
I say once more that i love the MGT case its very very nice not too far from the MMR but somehow more curvy and smooth.
Well done JLC,I just hope we won't see many other versions of this caliber in order to preserve a bit of exclusivity.

JLC 2012 SIHH: Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater in Rose Gold.
2011 saw the launch of the Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater in TiVan ( a blend of Titanium and Vanadium ). In 2012, the Rose Gold version is born. I won't write what I already wrote some weeks ago about the Ti Van, as the only changes, here are pur...

Well, Mo, you know my position on colored gold watches.
I don't like them, except if they are small and thin. So, I will always prefer the white metal cases, for big watches, and undisputably, this MGT MR or the MMR, is a big watch. One thing is that I prefer this one to the TiVan sister, and to the RG MMR. I ...
JLC is a very strange creature regarding their marketing
I do not really understand,it seems like they enjoy bringing damage to themselves. I appreciate that the brands provides every kind of watch for every kind of price but their exclusive range should be more looked after....now for example I can see dozens ...
Well, the Duometre is another thing...
The Duometre doesn't have the ambition to be a limited edition, except some YG and WG versions. And I have no problems seeing different iterations, housing different complications, in the Duometre Family. Where I am less comfortable is to see two differen...
No not the same financial league,
but a strong line for JLC haute horologerie...Other brands would have treated it differently. Mo
They need to believe in it, and to better defend it
With a better distribution... I agree. Best, Nicolas
Thanks again Nico.....
but from all the iterations you mention (and I didn't realise there were so many) my favourite is still yours..!! Not because you have one and let me play with it, but because if I could afford one it would be the version I would get. Wearable, great look...
Well, Andy, I used and still use mine as a daily watch, or almost.
Which is an important criteria, to my eyes. I don't see myself putting so much money on a watch to keep it in a safe, for sure. I am more reluctant on so many iterations, as I already explained, as a Minute Repeater is an EXCLUSIVE complication, which nee...
Very, very nice! :)
A dream watch! But I still prefer your version... Thank you for the presentation, my friend Best Blomman
Even if I'm a PG guy...
I find the case and bezel too thick for PG. I much prefer the TiVan version or MMR in PG due to its softer dial. Why? Because the torque and power reserve indicators become too "visible" on the dial. Am I becoming a never happy guy? Not at all. These two ...
Very nice watch, and I agree with you about the hands
They are too big/wide. I think the hands for the indicators should be very slim so as not to cover up the movement below. Stylistically they are not my favorite either. Having said this, I would snap this up and wear it in a heartbeat if given the opportu...
Thanks for your input, Stewart. I wonder how it would look like with
