I am always interested in seeing special watches made for clubs by different brands...
I know that there have been several made for and available only to PuristSPro members; I have not yet purchased one since becoming part of the community circa 2014.
Nonetheless, I have heretofore not seen nor been made aware of JLC making a club watch. Now, having watched a youtube video uploaded by Watchbox (Govberg) featuring one Yousuf Gargash, a founding member of the Dubai Watch Club, he showed a watch which his group was able to get JLC to make in a run of only 7 pieces:
A stainless steel cased version of the Master Calendar but with dark gray (charcoal) meteorite dial. In the normal production, as I recall from 2015, the dark grey meteorite dial was only offered in the 18K pink gold case; the steel case came with a light gray meteorite dial.
In my humble opinion, the contrast of the dark grey meteorite dial with the steel case makes this the best version of the (now) 3 known versions. Alas, I was not on the mailing list to make my claim when young Yousuf struck the deal with our friends at Le Sentier.
Nicolas, when will we have our chance to agree upon such an exclusive gem from JLC? When we do, I want to be part of the process with rights of first refusal...
These two pics are screen shots from the video. The caseback was not shown on the video. Are there other collaborations with JLC that of which someone knows? Do tell. M for magnifique 
And looks great with the blue alligator strap to boot.

... The more I think about it, the more I think it could be a Duometre in stainless steel, or some amazing Reverso in stainless steel with "PuristPro" tattoo'd on the backside. I'd want one too. - Scott
That'd be awesome!
I do hope more than seven else I'd never get the chance! Truth be told, I had heard that there were some Purist Editions, but, I never did run across a post announcing them.
I totally hear you. I have some ideas, but Jaeger Lecoultre has to agree. And it is not that easy... But yes, I would love to see Jaeger Lecoultre saying OK to two projects for us.
One would be a special Duometre, and the second something more " affordable ", in the 10 K Euros or just a bit under... Excellent suggestion, my friend. Excellent. I hope you'll have many answers to your post. Jaeger Lecoultre is regularly reading us. Tha...
My assessment:
The influence and audience of WatchProSite vastly exceeds the Dubai Watch Club. So why could/would JLC make a special piece for them and not for us? Willingness of JLC to accommodate a special request depends on several factors: 1. Desire to nurture and b...
I hope JLC is listening.
The issue always is if you do one for a group you have everyone knocking at their door. But we can continue to wish as dreams sometime come true. Bill
