My first JLC

Hey guys just want to share this new piece and my first JLC. I got a phone call from my local AD If I want to check out the new JLC master calendar since I'm looking for a piece with a calendar complications. I have my eyes on this piece since the release at watches and wonders 2020. I like that JLC increased the sz to 40mm and added the jumping date complication from 15th to 16th which first introduced in 2018 with their westminster minute repeater perpetual calendar. Well with redesigned moonphase JLC doesn't want to obscure the view of the moonphase so to add that complication is really cool. I'm thinking of changing the straps to a blue alligator but I fell in love with this brown leather straps which I think it looks perfect with that silvery white dial.

Good looker with an interesting complication. Blue alligator shoes will make that dial pop even more IMO

Stunning watch - congratulations! Looks great on you. I think the brown leather really works well and adds a contemporary, casual feel to the watch as a balanced daily wear.

But definitely try different strap combinations - the silver dial will be very versatile.

Absolutely beautiful, huge congrats!

Recently I came across an ad for a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon and fell in love. I started doing some more research on the brand and looking at other models on their website. I came across this Master Control Calendar and my focus quickly changed. This watch is absolutely stunning and is definitely on my short list. I'm hoping I can add it to my collection sometime in 2021.

Congrats again

Yeah me too! I knew I want it since the release day but to confirm I have to see it in person and it didn't fail my expectations. Cheers

Im actually thinking of the chrono version but that jumping date sold me for some reason. My AD told me they should get a delivery of the chrono by next week might check it out. Cheers

Excellent choice, congrats.

The strap is just garbage though, so feel enabled to change that ;)
