A watch you won't see quite often, celebrating 25 years of history on each dial

Dear crazymates, I should not really qualify as rare a watch that I’ve seen twice in the same year, as I’ve had a Rolex Sub only once in my hands in 2006. Still this watch is not a common bird and you probably won’t see it often. We won’t get very technic...  

That is just breathtaking...wonder when i'll be able to see even a proto...

Hi, You don't know my wrist obviously, I'm more suited for 90s watches. At least at this price point I have no regret for the size. But I remember that last year during SIHH ThomasM tried it on and found it at his size. Again if you have the wrist.... Che... 

Good report

Apology for the belated thumbs up for your photos and the report. I have a smallish 6.5 inch wrist too and really struggle to carry off my SS Rev Grande Date but i'm willing to overlook this to get it. Congrat to anyone who can acquire this masterpiece an... 

Yikes!

I'm afraid I have to agree. The lugs go over the horizon line! Where does this 'bigger is better' trend end? JLC would have been the LAST company I'd have expected to produce Hummers! As a feat of watchmaking it's incredible. It deserves to be displayed a... 

Yes Elliot I understand your...

Yes Elliot I understand your point. For me also it is more of a show watch. That?s not my watch of JLC obviously. But still it deserves some real interest and I know that some have more than mere interest. Dje

Of Course!

I don't mean to sound judgemental about that stuff; it's just that like most of us here, I am very passionate (and opinionated!) regarding our preferred JLC's! I only wish that it weren't necessary to discontinue so many of our classic favorites in order ... 

Thanks Jacky....

Wow that is quite a watch

Technically as well as physically. A monument to the house of Jaeger-LeCoultre, no doubt. Thanks for the photos Jerome, I especially appreciate the wristshot. - SJX

Thanks SJX

Almost as big as my Panerai

I didn't notice the picture. I have already started my quest for this big watch. Bill...  

Good luck Bill....

Ah! The Tourbillon looks like Cupids bow and arrow, just before it strikes my heart...

Jerome, the balance is a deep color. Hmmm. What's it made of? -Dean

Do you want to guess?
