Slow Selling JLC

May 22, 2018,08:06 AM
 

JLC is one of, if not my favorite brand of watches.  I live in a large (to some people) metropolitan area comprised of many surrounding smaller cities in two different states..  In all the years I have been collecting and paying attention to what is on other people's wrists I have seen exactly ONE JLC, which was a Reverso.  My local AD carried the line for a long time and lamented each time I went in what a slow seller it seemed to be, they were lucky to turn the inventory over once a year, and their JLC inventory was small but a good representation of the brand.  The last time I was the manager told me they dropped the line due to slow sales.  Customers tended to gravitate to Rolex, Cartier, B&M, TAG etc.  I have a son in medical school so a JLC is not in my immediate future, but when the time comes I WILL have one.

Jaeger Lecoultre needs some daring offers, technical, innovative, cool. They have some great watches, that is indisputable.

The independents are persuading me more so now with their creativity and movement making that JLC use to clearly dominate and own... not so much over the last years sadly.

Buy a used one at 50%-60% off of retail from a reputable seller.

I live in the biggest city in Switzerland with many, many watch afficionados among the population. Over here, almost all Reversos - and substantially all of them being quartz models - are worn by women and very rarely by men. During the past decade or so,...

everyday, in particular to serve as a reminder of (as cliche as it may sound) "that chapter" in my life. I had no idea my search would lead to what it did; after browsing through if not thousands of watch dial pictures and reviews, this search became a pe...

True, but... I was just cleaning up in my office and found a huge file folder full of receipts from the Dept. of Motor Vehicles. I have got to stop listening to my heart! Cazalea ...

Dont have problem if it stays like this, Im enjoying my reverso even more if it is rarely seen on wrists. From all the watches I have it was probably the best in terms of price/value...

A few years ago, I was interested in JLC and almost picked up one of their watches (ie. Reverso, Master Control, etc.). I browsed the forums and the photos of the watches were much more appealing than in real life. When I tried on the Master RDM in person...
