2 Years with the JLC MMR

Time flies!

I spent almost 2 years with the intrigant JLC titanium MMR.

2 years of intense pleasure and use, as everywhere I went in the world, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, England, Marocco, it was with me, on my wrist.

Here in Taormina:



In Trieste, on a typical italian roof:



In Marocco:



When I picked it, my main idea was to see if I would be able to add to its superb concept watch look another of the most important quality to me, a watch I will be able to live with,not like a Daily Beater, but almost, rather than wearing it only for special occasions, and letting it most of the time in its box, in the safe.

So, I used and abused of it a lot, without other precautions than with a " normal " watch.

I also submitted it to the Road Test:





I didn't count the times I played with the Minute Repeater trigger, only to enjoy this special sound, but I often counted the hours in the middle of the night for my wife's greatest pleasure, of course, which obliged me to spend the first nights in the bathroom!



I couldn't resist to my daughter's willing to hear it, and what a daughter wants..You all know the rule!

Do you remember the MMR Caroussel?



During GTGs, it was also here, to share with friends its exceptionnal qualities, so they played with, tried it a lot, too.

After almost 2 years of such an intense live test and treatment, I decided to send it to the Manufacture, to check if all was ok, as I'm a big fan of the prevention rather than the repair.

It also needed a light polish, as during a GTG, a guy put it on his wrist forgetting that he has a Rolex Sea Dweller on the wrist, which caused a ding on the titanium polished bezel.

So, the outcome is here:

All was checked, and nothing to complain about, nothing to set, to change, to repair, except this light polish due to the ding on the bezel.

The sound tests were made, the accuracy of the watch, too.

Nothing to report.

That's also why I love it: Reliable, accurate, poetic, romantic, even, complicated as a Minute repeater can be, with a true concept watch look...

The MMR after its small trip at " La Grande Maison ":



Without forgetting the nice spectacle offered by the case back, which plays a lot with the light, to offer some different and fascinating views:





Just too happy to see it back again...On the wrist, ready for new adventures!

What's not to love???

Best,
