My First Jaeger LeCoultre (Master Calendar) - Proud To Be In The Family

Mar 02, 2010,07:46 AM
 

hi JLC Family,

Finally a few days ago i made the Decision to go for a "Jaeger LeCoultre",
before that i was opting for a "Mont Blanc" "Nicholas Reiussec" which was almost in the same range of my budget,

as for the budget's sake,
JLC's Master Calender (Stainless Steel) version was way more expensive than the "Mont Blanc's - Nicholas Reiussec",

which had me spinning i couldn't decide - cos Mont Blanc's Watch had some Historic edge to it as it's their First Movement,
but i love JLC's Watch's as they're well known for their skills in watchery - like the salesman told me......

so i went on a shopping spree trying out all the watches the mall had to offer,
i've tried out the Mont's Blanc's Nicholas Reiussec - the finishing was abit rugged and bulky (i know...it's a chronograph) but there's something missing to it.....

when i went into JLC's Boutique,
i was AWESTRUCK by the MASTER CALENDAR..... as i asked the salesperson i have only a budget to spend.....

me and my wife fell in love at first sight....it was B.E...U..tiful...
the finishing was elegant and it goes with most outfits.....

i just don't know why one look at it and the feeling of it on my hands just had me forking out extra $$$$ for it...
i have no regrets buying it over other brands that could even offer me SOLID GOLD...as for watch lovers; it ain't about the material but the skills needed to create such a master piece

Stefan, then you... It is funny, as I discovered your post just after ending a quick topic on a very nice Triple Date Vintage JLC I saw some days ago. The connection with the Past is awesome, as you will see. A True JLC, and a very nice choice. Enjoy! And... 

Nico, you see...

hi guys, Thanks for the Congratz...i'm soo proud of this baby.... btw, is there any reviews on this model? Master Calendar, before purchasing this baby i was looking at the "rose gold" version of Master Calendar, which was WAY WAY WAY over my budget......... 

That's true love...

Well, I'm preparing something about the Triple Date... Not the Triple Date moonphase like yours. There is a lot to say about this model, as I previously mentionned. BUT Clavi made a stunning post about these watches, the Vintage, not the moderns. Best, Ni...

Congratulations for you excellent choice! In terms of quality and craftmanship it is impossible to fail when buying a new JLC. (Vintage may be another topic due to the risk of forgery etc. ) And you listened to your heart. That's the way to go if you want... 

Nice choice, Chew!

I was offered this one in 2007 but I had already made my mind about the Reserve de Marche. Congratulations

Next Target will be a Re-verso for my Wife

hi thanks, i like moonphase watches, so since it's my first high-end watch, i went for master calendar, i'll probably get a re-verso soon, i see in your profile picture you got a master 8 days, which i was also introduced, but i fell in love with master c... 

Thanks, Chew. I don't get a Master 8 Days, though...
