  • In this video, we look at some of my favorite dress watches on the entire market, Jaeger‑LeCoultre Master Collection. Despite my love for the Reverso, I can't help but be drawn to this collection of Ultra Thins and hope to give them more of the spotlight going forward.
    A big thank you to JLC for sending these watches to me for the review!

    Jaeger leCoultre is top of the top, for me, they are by far the best, and the price is a fair price, there are other's with higher prices that don't do what this guy's do.

    Thanks for the video Teddy. I'm a big fan of JLC and agree that the Matter Ultra Thin line is one of their best.
    I appreciate the symmetry of the MUT Moon and is a deservedly popular watch. However, the two that I would have are the blue dial Réserve de Marche (from 2027?) and the Matter Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. The Z Perpetual being my grail most likely.
    Thanks again - well considered and produced review. Love to see now JLC in your videos.

    I just bought my first JLC last week - a Reverso Classic Medium Small Seconds on the brown Fagliano strap. After owning several brands over the last 13 years, primarily Omega and Rolex, I'm wondering why I never looked at JLC before. They always had the "it" factor for me but just never had it on my list of next purchases. I sold my Submariner 114060 and put some of the proceeds towards this Reverso. In just a week of ownership, I've been more impressed by the post-sale service from JLC than I've ever received by Rolex or Omega. JLC's Client Care advisors are extremely helpful, the email communication JLC sends you as an owner really makes you feel proud about your purchase.
    My next watch will be the JLC Ultra Thin Moon for sure.

  • @joaosalvador4327
    @joaosalvador4327 Před 5 lety +3

    Great review as always, Teddy, and one of the reasons I recently picked up a pre-owned rose gold MUT Moon Phase. I believe this watch's power reserve to be 43 hours, not 38. The newest release of this model now has a power reserve of 70 hours. Not worth paying full retail for at $21K imho but it's a nice upgrade.
    My only criticism is that the date ring is illegible, but I knew that going in. The numerals are so small I don't even really see them so it's not a distraction. If I wanted to be able to read the date, I would have bought a Lange or G.O., lol.
    Keep up the great work. I enjoy all your videos.

    Hey Teddy, I have to say we share an admiration for JLC and particularly the Ultra Thin Moon Phase...simply exquisite! That said, I wondered if you have looked at the Montblanc Chromometerie line as an affordable alternative. I tried the automatic version and was disappointed with the rotor noise and returned it and never went back. Seems as though the manual wind would be the way to go. Got mine for around $1,500 new on Joma. BTW I had no problems with my return or their service in general. Thoughts on the Montblanc Chronometerie range?

    I recently purchased an IWC Portuguese Automatic after years of collecting desk divers. I love my sport pieces (particularly my Batman)...but I think I caught the “dress watch” bug. My next will likely be either a GO Panomaticlunar or JLC Master Perpetual (also love the Duometre).

  • @dommerdom
    @dommerdom Před 5 lety +16

    I don't think you ever photographed how thin the watches are. You talked a lot about it, but you never turn them sideways. It's always dead on the dial, or the caseback.

    Hey, Teddy, I admire watches with beautiful backgrounds or serene sketches and gorgeous gadgetry. Of course, these can be either inexpensive glitzy quartz models or very expensive super elites that sell for a million bucks. But are there automatic watches lovely to look at (with more than fingernail polish) somewhere near the price range you've discussed today (like the JLC Geophysic worldtime)?

  • @uptheorg
    @uptheorg Před 5 lety

    Good reviews of the JLC ultra-thin line -- a rarer ultra-thin JLC is the ref 120679 -- the JLC Master Ultra Thin 1907. Comes in platinum or gold and is one of the thinnest and most elegant watches in the world -- it is 40mm and only 4mm thin! Only two hands and no other complications, but nevertheless must be assembled in their "grand complications" division due to the thinness. I have it in platinum and it is UNREAL!

    I'd get the perpetual, I just want a watch without flaws. The idea that my ultrathin moon will sometimes get the date wrong is just annoying.
    I do prefer thin watches to all else though, so the master collection would be my go to if I ever got the money.

  • @Jerf1
    @Jerf1 Před 4 lety +1

    Wish they made smaller versions of these. Call me old school but I really think the 33-36 mm range is the place to be for a dress watch. On top of being large I think this watch in particular is fairly unbalanced due to the large size of the case relative to the length of the lugs. Although it does not look too bad on this guy since he has a bigger wrist.

  • @ygrbooks
    @ygrbooks Před 3 lety +1

    I bought the JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual watch in 2014 - the stainless steel variant. Getting it was difficult, because you could buy the steel ones only at Jaeger-LeCoultre boutiques. After two years, the watch stopped. It was revised by the company for free, but it took them three months. In 2018 the watch showed the 29th of February. It was again inspected for free and returned to me after three months. This year (2021), the watch suddenly lost 4mins a day. At 230 the amplitude was not great either. JLC first wanted money for the the revision, but then did it again for free and within 2 months. I love this watch and wear it every day. However, have any of you out there had similar problems with it?

  • @s1u8n
