What's old is new again

I have to admit I alternate in my feelings about companies mining their past to fund their future. It's such a fine line of design philosophy, production capabilities, collector's desires, brand marketing and basic economics.  Some brands seems to walk the line well and other struggle at times.  For me, the leadership at JLC is raising the bar for the deft handling of these matters into some amazing new pieces.

So like a lot of folks I saw this press photo and began to ponder . .



The combination of classic design with modern manufacture is a home run for me.  My concerns were just its smaller than what I normally wear, and I admire both dials in their own way and couldn't decide which might be for me. So I thought, and thought, and thought about it some more  . . .

And was fortunate enough to get the call . . .and landed the right choice for me

Apologies for the quick and dirty pic from my office . ..thanks for reading.
