A marvel in gold: Tops, the engraving on the back... Enjoy. Nicolas PS: Not mine. ...

Wow Nicolas, just wow! So nice this one…

Yep, they know how to make some nice chronos, too. There is definitely a life outside the big trendy brands... ;)

The retro look of this dial is amazing. Any picture of the movement?

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 29th, 2021-23:01

No, alas, no time to open it.

By: amanico : December 29th, 2021-23:22

Wow, classy, that one. I assume it is sized for its time, 34-35mm?

By: vitalsigns : December 29th, 2021-22:51

36 mm, if my memory serves me well.

By: amanico : December 29th, 2021-22:52

Big for its time. Love the numerals and blued hands combined with such a rich yellow gold.

By: vitalsigns : December 29th, 2021-22:58

Well, an average size for that time.

By: amanico : December 29th, 2021-23:01

The numerals are fantastic...looks Deco...

By: mdg : December 29th, 2021-23:31

I agree. Very class.

By: amanico : December 29th, 2021-23:31

Yes very art deco, especially 8!

By: kesharoo : December 30th, 2021-01:45

Yes! Well spotted.

By: amanico : December 30th, 2021-06:43

WOW,- I meen really WOW. Drop-dead gorgeous.

What I think, too.

By: kjkt3 : December 30th, 2021-01:01

Yes, kjkt3. Even gold is good here, even though I am not a gold fan.

Quite an unusual specimen indeed. Which raises the larger topic: where has JLC's willingness to produce different, unique and singular dial designs gone of late?

By: remarque : December 30th, 2021-04:12

I am not talking about "belle horology" pieces. I am talking about regular time only/chronograph/memovox and even reverso dial designs. I have suggested a few variations of dial designs in this forum (e.g. the Remarque black dial geophysic) which honestly...

I agree with you. We need stuff like this!

Can’t help but smile

Thanks for looking, alberti.

By: amanico : December 30th, 2021-10:11

Would you know by chance what the font is called? I need ideas for my next engraving project on the YachtMaster

By: @lberti : December 30th, 2021-09:38

No idea, my friend.

By: amanico : December 30th, 2021-12:19

Wow, absolutely beautiful

By: ChristianDK : December 31st, 2021-15:05

Indeed, Christian. Thanks for looking, my friend.
