JLC: the mechanics dream house. Opinions for best "content"...
What is your favorite JLC watch for mechanical "content?" I'll start:
Reverso Grande GMT
Why? 8 functions: Home-Time, sweep seconds, day/night indicator and large date + 2nd timezone that can advance or retard at the press of a button, reserve de jour, day/night indicator, differential subdial showing how many hours ahead or behind home-time, with an 8-day power reserve (which really should make it 9 functions), on 2 very legible, NOT BUSY dials.
What's yours?

JLC branded or with a JLC movement...?
.... that might open up the field a bit much though. Seriously as much as I utterly loathe the aesthetics of it I have to pick the Extreme Lab for 'mechanics'. Velociphile
This one ...
My definition of a perfect chronograph: The Duomètre Chronograph Cheers, Cheers, Nilo ...
Duometre à Chronographe... Surprised? ;)
Simple, a new movement, a new case and a new dial. And one of the most gorgeous movement. Best, Nicolas
Gyrotourbillon Gyrotourbillon... Surprise!
while I absolutely love the new Reverso Gyrotourbillon and its content, I wish for this in a round option... I just can't pull of the reverso case aesthetic despite this it is absolutely stunning!
I will. But if they make it, I am done, and have to sell a huge part of my collection...
Which won't be a problem for me, for such a piece... Best, Nicolas
That would not be a problem...
For such an amazing watch! Gyrotourbillon dreaming now
Of course I'm in... You don't have to ask ;)
I just need to make a phone call to you know who Seriously though... This would be my dream come true... How thin do we think we can go with our round cased Gyro 5? What complications would it have?
Two Reversos for me...
1) The Reverso Grande Taille in steel. Perfect in its simplicity. 2) The Reverso Sun Moon in rose gold. Same perfect proportions of the Grande Taille, but with a stunning storybook appearance.
Reverso Chronograph Retrograde - because
even 20 years later (it was released in 1996 if I'm not wrong) it is just admirable what technology and beauty JLC managed to squeeze into the minimum volume of the GT case.
