practical serious suggestion for purist JLC watch...
By: remarque : January 8th, 2021-19:08
With Nicolas' help, mayhaps we can convince JLC to produce a purist edition watch like this... I would be the first to commit to buying one, and would love to see them numbered as well. Since it is my idea, maybe I could reserve number 1 of X, if X watche...
I'm in.

Reserve #26 of 50 for me.
Yes

In. And if there were no objections, I would take number 13.
Perhaps Geophysic would be too ambitious..

.. but maybe a "simple" dial reverso with small seconds at six and a most simple and subtle crosshairs around the seconds hands, without individual second markings, as a small "tribute"to Geophysic, might work.

Dear Nicolas,

It is true we have no idea how many spare/extra 38.5mm steel case/case components are leftover in a storage drawer at the Manufacturer from the steel TTG 2014 project which are necessary to make the antimagnetic case properties. However, the Manufacturer ...
Be sure that I tried, before, for a special Reverso, specially made for us. Two years ago, to be precise. The answer was negative. Now, I can come back to them and ask them a special watch for us.

That will be with great pleasure. A Special Geophysic, that would be great, but they rather have the Polaris program in the tube, rather than the Geophysic, alas. I will see. What was funny with your post is that I played the game several times, choosing ...

I do think $6k is far too low for the ask.

While I like the idea and like paying less for great things, I suspect Jaeger-LeCoultre would need to see a lot more margin per on such a small run. Like $10k or even $20. The Geophysic was almost $10k. They made 800 in steel. I'll grant you in this scena...
interesting idea

It will be my number three request fo JLC after Duometre Rattrapante Purist Edition, and JLC Tribute to Deep Sea Purist Rouge
How about a 1931 Reverso Tribute for WatchProSite readers too Nico?

Casa Fagliano strap, a thin Reverso case, and who knows... some special dial or special hands. Or it comes with 2 dials and 2 sets of hands (so our users can eventually swap), and maybe two straps. We'd choose one vintage dial/hand set and one modern dial...
+1!
