Just a quick note to thank you.
On the 3rd of January 2008, I was offered to take the moderation of the JLC Forum.
Five full years of shared friendship, passion, interesting discussions, and mutual knowledge.
I can't forget that Jerome and me moderated the JLC forum for a long time, as I can't forget that my new responsabilities couldn't be achieved without you all, my friends from all over the world.
I can't forget all the " real moments " we had, all the friendships we made, here or there.
I can't forget that, here, on tne JLC forum, or on any other Watchprosite foras, we succeeded in building a real Community.
I can't foget the help provided by the brand, by my contacts at the Manufacture, Marc, then Marina.
I can't forget the birth of some very exciting watches, such as the Polaris, or the Deep Sea Alarm, or the Reverso, or the Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie, which we discussed in, sometimes, a passionate way, but always in a deep and very elaborated way.
I can't forget all these good and bad moments which rythm the life of a Community, and Life in general.
Well, the involvement of each of you allowed us to have such a qualitative place.
Thank you so much for all, and may we share, again, a long part of the journey into the Passion for the Grande Maison!
If I had to choose one watch to illustrate this post, and all the sentiments inside, I would certainly pick this one, which is and represents much more than a watch...
Best to all of you, to each of you.
Yours,
Nicolas

No, no, no...
Thank YOU and Jerome (Dje) for making the JLC so great. Congrats on hitting the 5 year milestone, I'm sure 2013 will be even better! -MW
I have a few funny and big projects for the JLC forum.
One may happen in the few next months, the other at the end of this year... We'll see. But thank you for the kind words, my friend. Nicolas
We have to thank YOU...
for providing us with so much 'food for thought', interesting articles, reviews and just generally being here for us 24/7. Your enthusiasm and passion is infectious and many of us I'm sure have been led into temptation by your (evil) deeds. :) Already 5 y...
I doubt I will still be there in fifty years, but for sure the Community will!
And there will be many other Moderators to take the job. In the meantime, we will all try to do our best for the interest of this place, its spirit. Thank you for being here. Best, Nicolas.
Where can I start.....

My dear Nicolas
Hi my friend, I'm pleased to realize that we've been like in heaven in the last five years with your incredible passion exerced here. Of course I must too remind one watch, this one: My dream watch would not be mine without your help. May you be thanked ...
I still have in mind this crazy night in a castle near Le Mans.
When a full bottle of Armagnac died between our hands... And the hesitant way back to our rooms... ;) And many other crazy moments, too. And so many discoveries, moments of amazements and surprises shared together. And... And... and... All the best, my fr...
Thank you Nicolas
It has been interesting to participate along (I am not dictated enough - I know) with all passions around. On 1 Jan 2013, I found these 2 old watches and took a photo for sharing about how we commits to the passion. Still waiting for my first Reverso to b...
You found both of these 2 2 days ago???
2 confirmed legends, for sure. The Reverso will come, wihtout doubt. If you were able to find these two, you will find the Vintage Reverso. Then you will have to find a nice Geophysic, and one Futurematic, and then you can close the theme. ;) Thanks for b...
You, and Jerome, should be the ones ...
To receive our most warm thank you. Merci, Nilo
It is the other way round
I have to thank you, not vice versa! Thank you for everything you offered and shared here! And for seducing us again and again ;-) Big thank you and best wishes, mon ami, Marin
Happy to see you back here more often, my Dear Martin.
Your taste in watches and your passion for our tic tacs is the fuelk of our foras. All the very best, Nicolas

Here. And the King is ... you. :) All the best, my friend, and yes, plaase, more posts about vintage ads will be a pleasure to read! Nicolas.
5 years ago
I found the message that I wrote 5 years ago: " Nicolas, I have always read your posts with pleasure. I am now looking forward reading your messages as co-mod! " 5 years later, I can say that I was far from being able to even imagine how amazing your con...

Trying to do better is our major defy, my co mod friend.
when you feel you cannot do so, it is time to give up.... I always have that in mind... But for the moment, I challenge that defy. Thank you, my friend. Nicolas
As Cesar Millan would say: "Be the pack leader"
and you're the one in JLC Vlad. cheers PAt
Being a pack leader is a bit too pretentious for me, Patrick.
But to animate our passion around JLC watches is much more interesting, IMO. Thanks for the kind words, though. Best, Nicolas
Humbleness is a virtue.
Great to have you here and the patience on bearing with my nonsense. Hagwe! Cheers PAt
I joined this fabulous forum under your reign...
and DUE to you (at least partially :)). Your always fast and informative replies was a sheer teasuretrove for a newbie like me. Under your kind and authoriative guidance I craved a huge number of JLC models, informed myself on a slightly smaller number of...
To meet you was very rewarding for me, too.
One thing on which I disagree with you... I don't see you as a newbie... ;) Best, my dear friend, and may we have many other opportunities to meet! Nicolas
The forum would not be the same without you!
Hello Nicolas! The Jaeger-LeCoultre forum would not be the same without you! I can’t blame you for my passion about Jaeger-LeCoultre, I bought my first JLC nearly ten years ago, but thanks to you, I’m now planning to buy my second (and third) JLC. Best Re...
I am thinking about the former moderators of this forum, and I can't forget
The hard work they did to install it as one of the most interesting JLC forum. We have to give them the justice they deserve. But thanks for the com^pliments! Best, Nicolas.
Congrats my friend Nicolas! your passionate and ...
... enthusiastic approach to watches is so contagious and so inspiring! You make a great work and it shows! Keep helping to make this great place a delicious site to visit! Un abrazo afectuoso, Abel.
