JLC compared to VC
Morning everyone, I hope your Saturday turns out wonderfully
well. Just a quick question and request for opinions from the
forum:
What does everyone think workmanship for workmanship, material for
material of the difference between JLC and Vacheron? I know it's
a general question and some of the discussion may come down to specific
models, but I ask because I recently heard a discussion between my AD
and a customer about why the AD would buy a VC over a similar priced
JLC. The dealer said that VC along with Patek and Breguet were
the top three watch manufacturers in the world, with JLC falling into
the space between IWC and Breguet.
Is this right? I thought JLC handmade most of the compnents for
their watches in-house and was one of the only manufacturers to
hand-make its own movement. I'm a big fan of the Reverso and in
particular think the platinum series, (Sun/Moon, and Reserve de
Marche), is exquisite...the AD would still choose a Yellow Gold VC
Patrimony over the platinum JLC. Is he right? The watches
are similar in price, but for the JLC are you paying for the metal vs.
the movement for the VC?
Just curious as to your thoughts. I'm quite interested in
everyone's opinion. Have a wonderful day, speak soon.
