Jaeger-LeCoultre

It depends.....

 

Hi,

You can' t generalize for the full range of the two brands. It depends on which model you compare.

To be clear when a VC is equipped with a JLC calibre (that means now the JLC cal 889 derivatives, for instance VC 1126, 1222 or 1225, i.e. an automatic calibre) there is no difference in the calibre finish because the calibre is finished and assembled by JLC to the very same level of finish JLC mounts in its own watches.

One brand one level of finish!

When VC watches are equiped with  VC in-house calibres like the hand wind 1400 series, the automatic 2450 series or the complicated calibres like tourbillon or minute repeaters, yes the finish is to a higher level than on comparable JLC calibres.

Then you have cases and dials. It also depends on your taste and the models!

Finally I don't think you easily have direct comparisons for the very same price. 

Cheers
