JLC 2012 SIHH: Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater in Rose Gold.

 
 By: amanico : March 5th, 2012-00:04
2011 saw the launch of the Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater in TiVan ( a blend of Titanium and Vanadium ). In 2012, the Rose Gold version is born. I won't write what I already wrote some weeks ago about the Ti Van, as the only changes, here are pur...  

Yes ,yes indeed..

A very breathtaking watch,i agree that the chromatic contrast here plays a big difference,it makes the RG MMR look somehow...old. This is definitely an improvement and from a collecting point of view makes it a desirable golden marvel. My concern is about... 

Well, Mo, you know my position on colored gold watches.

 
 By: amanico : March 5th, 2012-03:03
I don't like them, except if they are small and thin. So, I will always prefer the white metal cases, for big watches, and undisputably, this MGT MR or the MMR, is a big watch. One thing is that I prefer this one to the TiVan sister, and to the RG MMR. I ... 

JLC is a very strange creature regarding their marketing

 
 By: moc : March 6th, 2012-11:20
I do not really understand,it seems like they enjoy bringing damage to themselves. I appreciate that the brands provides every kind of watch for every kind of price but their exclusive range should be more looked after....now for example I can see dozens ... 

Well, the Duometre is another thing...

 
 By: amanico : March 6th, 2012-12:26
The Duometre doesn't have the ambition to be a limited edition, except some YG and WG versions. And I have no problems seeing different iterations, housing different complications, in the Duometre Family. Where I am less comfortable is to see two differen... 

No not the same financial league,

but a strong line for JLC haute horologerie...Other brands would have treated it differently. Mo

They need to believe in it, and to better defend it

With a better distribution... I agree. Best, Nicolas

Thanks again Nico.....

 
 By: Andy : March 5th, 2012-10:08
but from all the iterations you mention (and I didn't realise there were so many) my favourite is still yours..!! Not because you have one and let me play with it, but because if I could afford one it would be the version I would get. Wearable, great look... 

Well, Andy, I used and still use mine as a daily watch, or almost.

 
 By: amanico : March 5th, 2012-11:33
Which is an important criteria, to my eyes. I don't see myself putting so much money on a watch to keep it in a safe, for sure. I am more reluctant on so many iterations, as I already explained, as a Minute Repeater is an EXCLUSIVE complication, which nee... 

Very, very nice! :)

A dream watch! But I still prefer your version... Thank you for the presentation, my friend Best Blomman

Even if I'm a PG guy...

 
 By: foversta : March 5th, 2012-14:03
I find the case and bezel too thick for PG. I much prefer the TiVan version or MMR in PG due to its softer dial. Why? Because the torque and power reserve indicators become too "visible" on the dial. Am I becoming a never happy guy? Not at all. These two ... 

Very nice watch, and I agree with you about the hands

 
 By: docsnov : March 5th, 2012-20:00
They are too big/wide. I think the hands for the indicators should be very slim so as not to cover up the movement below. Stylistically they are not my favorite either. Having said this, I would snap this up and wear it in a heartbeat if given the opportu... 

Thanks for your input, Stewart. I wonder how it would look like with
