Great concept, but typically mediocre modern day JLC design.
There is nothing in this design to tempt a long time JLC collector. I’m afraid JLC hasn’t woken up from their yawn inspiring design phase. I can’t remember the name of the young woman who designed their compressor line, but they sorely need someone with fresh and bold thinking like she brought to the brand back then, to snap them out of their prolonged slumber.
JLCs value proposition was mid-priced watches with interesting complications and designs as well as movement innovations. There was a lot of excitement to the brand 10 years ago, but what is their brand identity today?
To be fair to JLC, this is the disease of the entire modern watch industry. Aspirational prices, derivative designs and movements, almost nothing that makes the heart flutter. Perhaps, this is a time for independents to shine.

My favorite JLC
Without a date window it’s best
My favourite release from JLC this year. However, I see that

Well, I would be less severe. I am, like a lot of us, waiting for a very cool and exciting watch, not to say daring but why not, from our favorite Manufacture, but in the same time...
I certainly look forward to more releases.
