Complications
I asked the Manufacture to send me some docs about MMR we don't often see. Here are a few. 1/ For Carlson. Not precised how many were made, but we can reasonnably guess a few... 2/ For Japan: 5 pices. 3/ Jewelled, limited to 50 pices: 4/ " Les Bijoux " USA: 15 pices: 5/ Boutique Edition, Black Di
if it was a 20k piece, a chronograph or some simple model, i can accept that they toy around with them. But in this case, especially when you pay so much, they should "melt" the power of such piece with so many variant, even if they are being made in small numbers. The black and orange is scandalous, even if they have some customers that have bad taste, they should stick to their original design, hoping they might educate them. Watch is great though, i almost regret not having catch one that was
I'll be the devil's advocate. Since the absolute production figures are *so* low, the large number of variations does little to dilute the appeal of the MMR. Consider that a piece unique is viewed as the ultimate in haute horlogerie prestige, and then consider that the larger the number of variations, the closer the individual MMR editions come to unique status. My view is that a watch produced in less than 1,000 copies (total) cannot be devalued in any sense by the existence of finite variation
JLC gives the feeling they are waving a bit in finding the right one? Not when they are totally different, but look at the Titanium version, then the LE platinum coming with the same dial than the Titanium, then the White gold with the same dial, with the difference of the colored gold indexes and hands.... This question would have not crossed my mind if we had a Pt, a Ti, a WG, a RG, and, maybe, a full enamelled version.... Best, and thank you so much for your feedback, my dear Tim. Nicolas
I feel the best would have been to release one version in each metal ( Ti, Pt, WG, RG ), and one Enamel.... And NO limited editions at all. And each one with its own dial. Yes, the one you mentionned was the LE of 8 pièces for Sincere. ;) All this doesn't remove my love for mine, though... All the best, Fricks. Nicolas
.. was interesting however, How many Limited Editions there were for the variants. Personally I'm a true fan for your Antoine LC in Titanium ! IMO, it has it all : Conceptual design, light weight, looks AND the open dial, giving visual depth ; - which Is mesmerizing, augmented by the color accents by the screws and last but not least, the chime. ... Oh, BTW: it's a splendid watch as well !! Best, my friend ! hs PS: Only thing: LGM "cannibalized" a component of singularity, a bit .. ;) This messa
The difference, other than the dial and the metal of the case, was that the Antoine Lecoultre beared A/ Lecoultre Signature on the movement. You see, with so many itérations, we loose track! ;) Thanks for your feedback, my dear friend. Nicolas
