Minute Repeater 1833
Hi JLC Lovers,
I saw the Minute Repeater rose gold 1833 collection yesterday and was amazed with the details of the watches. The pictures does not do any justice to the watch as you see the watch in person. The watch is the loudest Minute Repeater ( IMO ) as the way they have created the hammer hits the Sapphire which is the good conductor of sound and gives you a loudest chime.
Please give me your thoughts on the Minute Repeater 1833 Collection...
Regards,
James

Well , what to add, watchesjames, as you said all!
Welcome here, firstly! I'm specially happy to welcome a Fan, a Passionate MMR Fan. With the 1833 MMR, JLC palyed, IMO, on 2 grounds at the same time: A classic and warm RG case, a concept watch look for the open dial. A kind of best of both worlds? I made...
Nicolas.....
they are both beautiful.... I would not know which one to chose Well maybe not as they both are sold out and thus one temptation is out the window chhers
Well, Pink Panther
It's a long time I didn't see a Titanium MMR on a window shop. As for the RG, there are still some available. So, yes, the temptation is here! Don't thank me, my friend, it's my pleasure.. ROFL Best, Nicolas
It would be interesting to do a kind of
" Top Ten " of our favourite watches... I'm pretty sure the JLC MMR will have a good rank. Best, Nicolas
I think the hammers don't hit...
the sapphire but rather metal gongs coupled with the sapphire glass at 5 o clock with the flat piece of metal that displays either little notes of music or "1833". The trick is in the coupling to allow correct transmission of the soudn waves into the sapp...
Corract about the hammers hitting the gongs, Time2 tic
And can't agree more with you about the MMR... But this is not a scoop! Best, Nicolas
Thank You !!!
Thank you so much for the details how the chimming takes place in the watch. I was not aware about the Hammer hitting the Metal which is connected to the Sapphire and that's how it gives you the Loudest Chime. Thanking you once again. Regards, James
IMHO, It is completely inappropriate for a JLC AD to be shilling products . . .
James is a JLC AD . . . a fact he conveniently omitted from his post touting the virtues of the MMR. Then, he sent me a PM soliciting my business. NOT cool!!! Craig
