Jaeger-LeCoultre: Both Patek and JLC don't sell parts...

so if you want good service, they will be the only way to go. Part of the reason is that they both save tools to ensure future servicing. If you want the best, you let the best take care of their products and not some watchmaker that has never worked on such a complication. -Dean

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Golden times!

She, under Jerome's leadership, made some wonderful, cutting-edge products! I really hope JLC will re-visit the Compressors since no other brand has infringed on that water-proofing patent yet. -Dean

Patek Philippe: I expect the 5164 series to be replaced by...

a 5165 or some ilk, where the dual-time control is on the crown, as was the case with the 5269/200R-001, which Patek just retired. -Dean

Jaeger-LeCoultre: What I wish is that JLC would go back to the white catalogs...

which included 20 pages or so of great history and then the new watches with superb pictures. Those were VERY useful and appreciated by all. -Dean

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Nico, et al, I have a few different thoughts on this....

(1) If this is a working prototype, I wonder how well it is running and what it's accuracy is after 10 years? (2) Nautilus/Aquanaut............Compressor/Polaris - - - - it is, indeed, possible and even beneficial to have 2 sport lines. JLC would make a lot of us happy with a re-introduction of the

Jaeger-LeCoultre: I can't believe this is NOS!

The Art Deco is a model that I would LOVE to see brought back in a limited run (and NOT exclusive to JLC's website and boutiques). The front dial with guilloche and vertical grain is a work of art. The skeletonization would be better now, since JLC has had many years to perfect the craft. -Dean

Jaeger-LeCoultre: An amazing piece with an incredible movement...

that, sadly, was not understood by most people. I would like to have seen JLC continue this movement w/o the jumping seconds and included a date at the 6 o'clock position that would advance and retard as the wearer went through timezones and across the dateline. -Dean

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Master Black!

JLC really should do a relaunch of this series in the current lineup, along with the 250-pc platinum LE with hinged case back. -Dean
