It is always a pleasure to see the Deep Sea Chronograph Vintage in the real life.

On pictures, it is a very sensuous watch, in the metal, it is bewitching.

A very nice fiction, I must say. A milestone in terms of balance, symmetry and aesthetics.

I said it many times, but I will repeat it once again: I strongly regret that JLC didn't keep the Deep Sea line in the catalog. Along with the Geophysic. These are two very promising lines, which could have given birth to some exciting watches!

Yes, there is a place for the Polaris, and yes, I am happy to se the Polaris alive ( and kicking ), but there was also some place for the Deep Sea and the Geophysic, in a family which could have been called " Historical " or " Heritage "?

Best,

Nicolas
