and it was a great chance to see such a wide selection of the range in the metal, from the very simple to the multi-complications.

Great photos Andrew, just a few more of my own to add from the evening.

A trio of ultra-thins.




The new ultra-thin from another angle.



In comparison, the older 34mm ultra-thins with display back look positively obese.



Really liked these calendars, both annual and perpetual.

Thanks to all involved for arranging the evening - hope we can do it again next year...

The JLC SIHH 2013 collection comes to Melbourne

 
 By: AndrewD : August 16th, 2013-04:12
The Melbourne WatchBand Winter GTG coincided with a generous offer by Richemont Australia to share with us the Jaeger-LeCoultre SIHH 2013 collection. The SIHH releases were in Oz for a short period of time for local Boutique staff to familiarize themselve...  

Thanks for the report, Andrew. Nice to see the 2013 collection with " past " pieces.

So, the DS Chrono Cermet grows on you? Good, I am testing it till next week. ;) What do you think of the MUT 39 Jubilé? Best, Nicolas

The Deap Sea Chrono

... wears smaller than 44mm to me, which is a good thing. The light weight and short lugs helps. I do love the textured dial. Perhaps a bicompax design would have been even better, but it is a great watch. I look forward to your longer term comments. The ... 

From one exttreme ( the DS Chrono ) to another ( the MUT 39 Jubilé ).

Interesting selection, Andrew. I hope to be able to post my on the wrist review at the end of next week. A strong piece, for sure! Best, Nicolas

Really liking the MUT Perpetual... Definitely one for the 'Wish List'.. Any more pictures of the Amvox 5? JLC E....

Eggshell

I love the eggshell dials, although need to seem them for real. Great new collection, but have to ask Andrew, which one is your favourite? Dean

Favourites

 
 By: AndrewD : August 18th, 2013-04:53
Hi Dean, All the eggshell-dialled watches were fantastic, and the combination with rose gold and black strap is perfect. And the dials are somewhat textured which is attractive to the eye and catches the light in interesting ways. Favourites would be the ...  

Thanks Andrew,

 
 By: Spellbound : August 18th, 2013-05:03
I love all the watches you mentioned, but a little out of my budget. But I might very well consider the Master UT Moon 39, with the "eggshell" dial. I don't think this was present in your photos though. Dean

Great photography given the available light

 
 By: Ruckdee : August 16th, 2013-20:49
And you do know how to line watches up for a perfect group shot. Excellent! Ruckdee

Thanks Ruckdee ...

Grand Reverso Lady UT Duetto

 
 By: AndrewD : August 18th, 2013-05:01
I couldn't resist sharing two more photos of the mother of pearl dials as these watches are amazing when they catch the light. So versatile for the day and the evenning. ...  

thanks very much for the report, Andrew...

Thank you for sharing, Andrew!

Thanks for posting a stack of Ultra Thins!

Yes, this case back on the MUT is giving some height to the watc, which is not, happily, the case on the new MUT Jubilé 39. Great idea to have taken this shot! Best, and thanks! Nicolas

Absolutely superb, thank you!

What a collection from JLC. They just keep knocking it out of the park. And that reverso sun moon in platinum that one of the guests was wearing is still one of my favorites pieces of all time, any brand any era. Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding night! Great watches, great company, TOP EVENT!

 
 By: Bounce781 : August 18th, 2013-23:50
Lucky enough to have been there. Absolutely top notch event. Thanks again JLC. The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar piece has got my vote as THE piece

You're always too kind my friend. Thanks for contributing these excellent photos too. I didn't have the Master Dualtime Tourbillon on my wrist so much appreciated. Andrew
