Looks like there is a new gold rotor too, and now 46 jewels instead of the older 30 jewels.

A wristshot of the JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual SS - Black dial

Not a true novely but a very fine version. It is funny to see that all the press pictures and the watch available for the shooting were set at 2015. I feel younger. Anyway, its dial lay-out and the black atmosphere make it very appealing. The moon becomes...  

Nicolas, please do your unveiling.

Though not a "new" watch, it was certainly the one which I was most interested in from the 2016 SIHH. Looking forward to your unveiling... Cheers my friend, Kamy

I am a little worried as it has disappeared from the JLC website!

Maybe it wasn't ready for it's close up!

It takes me back to 2001, when the Master Black series were in full swing....

albeit in 37mm versions. I do LOVE the new bezels and cases in the Ultra Thin line. Looking forward, Nicolas, to your review. -Dean PS: please DO include the 149.34.7A and 140.240.807SB.

The Master Perpetuals in 2001...

18ktR black dial on black strap and the steel version.

What are the two little black lines on the hour and minute hands? I've never noticed that. [nt]

And yes, I really like the prominent golden moon!

In fact their are holes

 
 By: marcelo : February 3rd, 2016-15:35
And I know them from other JLCs, but not if they have a function or are just an aesthetic feature.

Thank you. I checked some photos of the silver dial version and found the holes, too.

 
 By: Luis6 : February 3rd, 2016-15:43
Never noticed the existence of them, until seeing the photo here. The black dial makes the contrast much obvious.

You're welcome, Luis!

The holes are so you can always see the small disk behind them

 
 By: 4Js : February 3rd, 2016-18:20
The disk changes color from white to blue to represent the hours you can\'t set any of the functions. A nice safety feature I also really like that this watch has a single pusher to advance all functions. This is a lot of watch for the money. Great wrist ... 

You beat me. Bravo. ;) [nt]

that's a tricky question

 
 By: Tyo : February 3rd, 2016-23:43
the size is perfect, the reading direction of QP is respected, at least for us French. the black dial emphasises each subdial including the date, that is not seen very often. a neater job would have been appreciated on the moon phase, it more obvious on a... 

I don't think. [nt]

That MUT PC in stealth-like black & with this prominent & shiny moon has it's special spell

To me a Pretterthaler cool offering ! Only just wondered about the actual legibility, let\'s say from typical reading distance, as those fonts see rather small.. What\'s your personal experience, if available ? Best, hs

:))) Then no issues. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2016-03:48

Agree!

 
 By: Ambos : February 4th, 2016-07:13
Beautiful watch, with strong character! Seems to me they increased the AR coating as the dial seems super crispy... My full support for that! The only change to be made for the production model: please use the silver moon of the WG dial!! Any input/ influ...

Yes. I confirm. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2016-07:32

Yes please :o) [nt]

Very cool Perpetual ...

 
 By: nilomis : February 4th, 2016-10:08
Fx, Perfect shot, perfect watch. I hope that my wife don't see this one or she will want to make a B&W pair. Cheers, Nilo Note: I know this shirt!

The black does make it stand out more on the wrist

 
 By: KMII : February 4th, 2016-11:09
Like it a lot! It has an alluring presence and I am sure it will be a successful addition to the line

Beautiful perpetual!! [nt]

 By: Gelato Monster : February 8th, 2016-20:00
