I dont think youre unfair... | Jaeger-LeCoultre

I don’t think you’re unfair...

I don’t think you’re unfair but that’s a matter of taste IMO.

My taste is not for sophistication but more for simple beauties. I don’t mean that it’s better but just that I happen to prefer.

In fact I used to love Blancpain watches a long time ago, when they just had the simple original round models of the comeback. That was around 15 to 20 years ago.

Then they launched the 2100 series and my appeal for these watches just disappeared. I know they obviously still make beauties, but not to the original level, again for my taste.

I suppose they want people to get there and buy watches, so they create traffic through specific pieces. I don?t remember well. Is that push or pull marketing? Pull I guess! Dje

Agree it certainly creates allure,,,

in this age of instant information, would be quite refreshing to discover unknown pieces down the road.

Are you dreaming....

I have the plain old steel version of this watch, and "plain" is the operative word. It's a highly functional watch but seems to lack sophisticaton and detail in the dial design. It feels a bit of a "Plain Jane". The wg/black dial looks better but when yo...
