Hi, I am delighted to have entered the world of mechanical watch aficionados with my Master Ultra Thin Moon in pink gold. I have been reading about the MUT Moon for quite a few years but had never tried one on until very recently–it really was exactly what I was looking for — elegant, understated, with an automatic movement (hey, I’m new here!) and exhibition caseback (for me, one of the most important highlights of a watch like this is being able to see the movement at work). I had been…

Hi,
Continue readingI’m a long-time WUS reader, occasional contributor and general mechanical watch obsessive. Having built up a collection of 12 or so watches over the last decade, I realised that many were hardly being worn, as I tend to wear watches for months at a time. This led to the hatching of a cunning plan- sell a bunch of them to fund a knock-out purchase.
Being more of a used/ vintage guy, I got browsing the local dealers to see what might be in the ballpark, and then got struck down by the…

Hello to all JLC watch lovers, please tell me whether the JLC manufactory belongs to Haute Horlogerie’s? What is your opinion? I’m asking because on another forum I encountered the answer that it does not, never has and will not belong to Haute Horlogerie’s (The finishing of JLC is not at the level known from high watchmaking – it is about the quality of finishing of hands, mechanisms (manual operations such as englage, black polishing, details of levers, bridges, etc.

I ran a search for a dedicated thread for JLC's Polaris line and didn't find an active one (or any). As a new owner of a Polaris, I wanted to start one for owners and others to discuss the various iterations and share pictures and information…

Seems as JLC increased the service costs, and it is significant. An example: Master Compressor Chronograph or Master Compressor GMT, full service a couple of weeks ago = 850 euro. Today = 1200 euro. That is a 42% increase. Using the cost estimation too…
