Jaeger-LeCoultre

Double congratulations!

For your graduation and for this watch. A JLC model that is not seen much but is attractive and what a nice choice for a first mechanical watch. Multiple complications and a manual winding movement. Excellent watch, I'd say, and I hope the love is long with this one and that it will be your companion along the many adventures of life.

Cheers from across the causeway.

Welcome to you

I owned this Jaeger Master 8 days as it was, for me and when I did my choice, a nice alternative to the Reverso Grande Date 8 days that I found too big (both case size and thickness. Nevertheless, I owned one too finally ;-) I know that is strange to comp...

Cool my 1st M8D friend =)

By: BP_SG : July 14th, 2016-09:12

Hi Alkiro, I have actually considered the Reverso Grande Date 8 Days too. However, like you I found it too big for me as I have a small wrist and it also lacks the Day/Night indicator which I loved on the Reverso Septantieme, so in the end I had to pass i...

My pleasure ;-)

I wanted my 1st mechanical watch to have a good DNA and a little story to share when asked about it ^^ For eg, The Cal. 877 was used in the JLC Master Antoine LeCoultre, a tribute watch for the 200th anniversary of the birth of its founder. The Grande Dat...
