His personal take on pairing a "scruffy" strap with this iconic reference invites readers to reconsider the aesthetic versatility of their own collections. This exploration delves into the subtle design choices that shape a watch's identity, as seen through the eyes of a passionate collector.
Great looking Master Compressor. Also love that JLC totally gets it right by having β12β at the top of the 24-hr indicator.
But I have one complain about the β20β in the second sub dial. I never understand why they put it that way instead of following the β10β and the β40β Same of course for the GMT subdial, total mess or I donβt get it I also donβt like the βautomaticβ
Ob both subdials all number except one are displayed as upright as possible. Only the 40 on the seconds subdial is looking down. Weird that they did not see this Initially I hated this kind of mistakes because I thought that an expensive watch had to be perfect in all regards. In the meantime I accepted that perfection is effectively impossible when humans are involvedand and to take these imperfections with a smile
