I tend to dress rather casually and like wearing the JLC (and my other watches) with jeans and nice simple shirt. But yeah, it's hard to get a more opulent, or "pompous" as you say, look in a traditional case than with these kinds of lugs. I think the Patek 2431 takes the concept of flared lugs from tasteful accent to centerpiece on the watch. Striking but not for everyone, for sure.

I wonder why designers of today‘s watches are so restrained... A little bit of individuality and character still is very much appreciated! Cheers, Daniel

Casual seems to be the prevailing look now

Fewer people wear suits at work, lots more dress casual, etc. In contrast, these watches were manufactured during a time when formal elegance was more common and appreciated. Times change.
Thank you - the case is truly elegant

And it contrasts a bit with the clean minimalistic dial (for a chronograph, at least). No tachymeter, no pulsometer. Just a big 12, a simple signature, and clean registers.
wow...those lugs are gorgeous !

i agree JLC lugs are much refined and pleasing for the eyes. CYMA is beautiful too imho, in steel so can well be a very good wear !! Best, mahesh.,
That is an impressive display

The JLC chrono is my favorite. I do think even though the lugs are a little pompous by nature, it was befitting of the time. I really like it. The others are very beautiful too. Thanks for sharing mate.
