If you had seen Andrew's coverage of the JLC dinner in Melbourne ( here ) you would know how much fun it is to attend a watch enthusiasts dinner organised by the amazing Team JLC Australia. I have been honoured to be invited to one of the Sydney dinner (JLC hosted dinners over 2 nights in Sydney) an
Hard to put down the Duometre Travel Time, and pick up the knife and fork!
Movement design and finishing is superlative!
I love the texture on the dial!
The tribute to Geophysic (no movement inside). It's a very simple yet elegant watch. It's a perfect size on the wrist,

My favourite watch of the night!
