Reply With QuoteI have developed a bit of an obsession for the JLC master hometime... Hope to add to this thread soon when one pops up. Any current owners feel free to taunt me with theirs ;)
I have had several JLCs over the years. Some have come and gone. This one, the Master Calendar in SS I think is one of their all time classic watches. I think it is a terrible shame they don't still make this model. This one is the Boutique edition with the magnificent Ruthenium dial.

Very, VERY nice. Love the grey strap with red stitching. What's the case size please?
That one is 40mm and the strap is a Camille Fournet.Originally Posted by beechcustom
Thanks :-)

And here is a JLC Reverso Retrograde Chrono. One of their most incredible Chrono movements.

My first, a 1970 memovox gt with a cal 825 movement. Plan on getting a futurematic and another 70's memovox in the future.
Master Réserve de Marche.
Between the OEM Black Shiny Crocodile and a Camille Fournet Shiny Hazelnut Alligator it is an incredibly versatile piece of class for any dressy occasion.
Add the OEM Tan Ostrich and a Camille Fournet Navy Blue Alligator, I can just about get away with wearing it any time I need an excuse

And on leather
Are there any Master Controls with white or ivory dials?
I don't really like the 'silver sunburst' or black dials on a JLC. Lovely watches though. :)
Thanks.
Call me a heathen but that would look fantastic as a chronograph (think Speedy Pro) and without the moon and year, just a nice simple elegant watch. Is it some sort of amnesia or time travel special? Being self employed I regularly forget what day it is but month and year?JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Stainless Steel Boutique Edition
"A man of little significance"
That is a great dial colour.

The pics of this watch do not help. Every time i see it just confirms that i really (really) like it. I am going to have to see one in real life.......

Love that boutique edition it looks amazing and the red stitching hits the dial really nicely.
Very gorgeous and on my want list for sure.JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Stainless Steel Boutique Edition
If you ever want to move it on, let me know?! :)
Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea, something I'd been chasing for a while.
Love that alarm!
... chrono here ;-)
Cheers,

JLC Master Compressor
Beautiful Watch and picture Tim, a bit of K815.....
I haven't taken any pictures of mine yet, so here's one taken by the guy I bought it from. It's a Master Control. I hope to get some better pics up soon.
Likewise, I have been eyeing up the Master Hometime for a few months now. Tried one on in Westflields (White City) a few weeks back. It's now my top contender for an upcoming purchase! ;-)
I no longer have this but thought you'd appreciate it...
Lovely watch and photo Java - that dial is stunning. Some nice JLCs in this thread, I look forward to seeing some more! Sadly not found one I've fallen in complete love with to give them a go.
Had this for over a decade. The most comfortable bracelet bar none...
ooh! this is going to be a fun thread! Forgive me while I harvest my files - some of these are now sadly no longer with me but three still are - the Tribute to Polaris 1968, NSA, and the Reverso GMT.
and
and just because..... and apologies as I've posted a few of these before...
Grand Taille - now gone
my old Reserve de Marche alongside the GT and Polaris
my 1931 Reverso (sadly gone to aide in the acquisition of a grail)
but if I won the lottery then I'd have to have this! Tried it on in Geneva....

Here is a couple . There are a few more.
congrats such a clean dial for a PC.JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Stainless Steel Boutique Edition

1968 Polaris here.
I have this Master Quartz from the 1970's, which (in my opinion) has an absolutely stunning dial.

From 1968? That is in almost pristine condition! Beautiful watch.1968 Polaris here.
I was at a TZ pub meet a couple of years ago with LTF et al, when a very nice chap sat down next to me and casually passed over one of the watches he had brought.
It was a JLC Gyrotourbillon worth well over £250k.
He wore it regularly and it looked fantastic with swirlies and the odd ding!
So clever my foot fell off.
This was my one and only JLC.
As someone said earlier, a very comfortable bracelet.

Exactly what you should do; IMO it's pointless buying things to let sit in a box, or if you're too scared to wear them.
ETA I need to get myself a JLC at some point, but I'm really not sure which model takes my fancy.
Really nice watches.
I have a RM 37mm on my wish list!
My two..

Apologies for the poor iPad photo, but this is my reverso
I don't believe I've owned a JLC amongst the many watches I've had whilst on here, but they produce some absolute stunners and the MUT Moon and MUT Perpetual are right up my list. I'd happily own one of both despite their many similarities. That DeepSea Chrono Vintage is a stunner too.
Like this a lot but wondering if it's time to move it on ?

The MAster Calendar is my favourite too. tried one of the old models on in Selfridges last year and fell in love with it. Shame I didn't have £6800 quid in my back pocket...
Here you go - bit of an old lump by comparison to some of the lovely things appearing on this thread.
But I love it !
Quite a rare bit of history - LeCoultre Deep Sea Master Mariner.
My only one is from the 50'ies and has a lovely creamy dial. Love it! :)
With those two beauties you really don't need that tatty Lange you have. You should sell it!
