Her'e my loooong take in this interesting debate

I respectfully disagree with you, as I don't have the same vision, here.

Till in a recent past, ( a bit after 2000 ), JLC made the Reverso Art Deco, which is, hence, not a Vintage Watch:





You will say that even if recent, this is past.?..

Not really, as you still have in the catalogue some very nice, appealing, not to say sexy Reversos, in the pure tradition...Like the GT case, which is difficult to call a bodybuilding watch, in Rose gold or SS...

In the world of round watches, this is the same:

Is this reasonnable to pretend that the Master RDM, The Master Perpetual, and some others are ugly, big and thick watches?



Have a look at the beautiful Marcelo's pics of the RDM, too, please.

The actual production is not less appealing, my friend.

Have a look at the new MUTs, for example...





The Duo Metre A Chronographe, an ugly, very badly designed watch?





Really?

And what to say about these ones?









These are a few examples of the JLC know how , and demonstrative examples, IMO.

You think JLC doesn't listen to critics, or to their clients willings?

They, this year, released a new version of the Master Home Time, they improved the lugs and the bezel, to make this model more beautiful, more to the Old School Guy's Tastes...



You loved the Polaris?

JLC did a re issue for you!



And not one, but 2, as one comes with metal indexes, and the other with painted indexes...And both come

with a ...Domed Plexy, like in the good old time...

Now, I may agree with you on the fact that you can't be pleased with all the watches JLC releases...

There are some I consider not for me, not my taste, my hopes, etc...

But, honestly, this is the same with all the brands, like PP, JLC, AP, VC and so on...

A brand can't only release watches for only a part of their clients, they have to have a wider offer, IMHO.

But to say that JLC is not inspired, or doesn't take in consideration critics, .....

As for JLC vintage watches, I can tell you that I love them, not all of them, but too many of them...LOL

As the Memovox, the Geophysic, the Divers, the Pilot Watches, the Geomatic, the Future Matic to speak of a few of them.

But this love allows me to love some of the new JLC watches, this is not exclusive...

Best.
