Nico, do you know how it would work for watches that are also serviced or being sent for service by JLC ?
I assume the service warranty will not be 8 years but hope it would be longer than before 😁🤷‍♂️

Great initiative! I guess it aims at tackling the grey market?

8 years is amazing and that warrantee your be a great reason for purchasing directly from JLC or official AD. A great move to generate loyalty. I wonder if they could sell such a package in addition to a service done by them. The debate of whether one sho...

You don’t really need to...

...it only applies to the original warranty, which is different from a service warranty, even if both are (were) the same length of time. It’s just like Rolex’s change to a 5 year warranty, which had no bearing on its 2 year service warranty.

One of the reasons I purchased three watchesfrom JLC this year is because of their history of exquisite craftsmanship and innovation.

When a company has this much faith in their products this leads to more customer loyalty

I will register my watch for sure when the system opens on May 15.

However, I am a bit perplexed by this move by JLC because it appears to have been partially driven by a shortage of watchmakers to perform servicing. At the same time the ADs were telling you to get your watch serviced around every 5 years.

Here it is all good. I mean that if the warranty is for 8 years, you can only have benefits from that. Every brand tells you to service your watch every 5 years. I have a different rule...

I send it for a service the day it doesn't run perfectly... Let us know when you register your watch! Best, Nicolas

Very good news from a great Manufacture. :)

One of my first ever grails when I started collecting was a JLC. Always liked the brand. This is very welcome news.

This one.

The Reverso Ultra Thin Italian Ed. Took me quite a time to find since it was made for a different market entirely... but after a few years finally managed to track one down. Still one of my favourites. ...
