Once again, as each year, I will shorty introduce the pieces of the 2014 collection, from the Grande Maison. Is it an exceptional millesime, in terms of creativity? Well, I would say that it is an evolution rather than a revolution- a consolidation- BUT a...
this year winner is regardless very beautiful and top notch MUT MR tourby The Duometre à Quantième Lunaire 40,5 Enamel Grand Feu dial Wow best Duometre so far for me Cheers Damjan
.. For me the Hybris Mechanica Eleven, with MUT MR and a Tourbi is a revelation, of course far above my reach. - The rest of the collection is - how shall I say - refinement and/ or continous evolution, just as you remarked. For some issued pieces, I find...
I like them all, but the MUT 38,5 and the automatic Reverso are great adds to the current collection, the central seconds MUT looks fantastic too. The Duometre UTT looks so fresh, I like it. Chocolate Reverso looks very special, and the Hybris 11 is an am...
And if I could dream - the UT MR! :) Would have loved to see a new Memovox this year... But you can't have it all... Thank you for the report, my friend! Best Blomman
We should also consider the Master line as sports watches... As the predecessor was launched as one...! ;) " Rate the life of the man of action " Best Blomman ...
Madness is not absent from this collection, be sure of that. As for the Memovox, maybe we'll have some new offers in the years to come? Honestly, I don't know, but I can't help dreaming of a black dialed no date version.... Best, Nicolas
.. but we know, patience, until things unfold by themselves .. ;) Best and have a great stretchb of Geneve - days for you .. - Must be a bit hectic, but a great atmosphere.. Best, hs
Thanks Nicolas for the early post! For me, the most interesting is the Duometre à Quantième Lunaire 40,5 Enamel Grand Feu dial . it may be my first JLC!! cheers robin
The Q.L was not my favourite Duometre. Not that it is not a great Watch, but I much preferred the Chrono and the UTT. Now, I m starting to xonder if I should not go for the 3... The enamel dial is to die for... Truly. Best, Robin. Nicolas
The ultra thin 1907 in WG with enamel dial, and see good value in these 5mm or thinner cases. I would say over the past five years that I cant keep all the other thin versions from JLC straight in my head. It seems they have made many variants from 38mm t...
.. do you/we think it is to some degree, because of the Asia - markets, with smaller wrist sizes - or is it just " ètre a la mode" and going with the flow? i do agree, that sometimes, a bit more coherence, and a bit of "less is more" still would be desire...
I'm not a fan of Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire but with enamel dial it looks terrific. It looks totally different although it's the same watch. When can we see the original Duometre with enamel dial? Am I asking too much? Thank you Nicholas. Regards, Const...
Those enamel dials look beautiful and am sure will be breathtaking when we see and hold it. Not every year we get releases for enamel dials. I also like the UT RG with with the eggshell dial. you were right - there's something for everybody! many thanks f...
I really love the Master Ultra Thin 1907 White Gold with its Enamel dial, the hands are new as well, compared with the rose gold version or the Jubilee and what a pair of beautiful hands these are;) don't really understand the need to have "Email Grand Fe...
pictures of the Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire with Email Grand Feu dial and a very nice 40.5mm. To me this new iteration looks Fabulous, "Envouting" as you so well say;). It is definitely one of the nicest novelty of the JLC collection so far, in my opinio...
Thank you Nicolas for your continuously great work in sharing the beauties of the house of JLC with us. JLC's enamel pieces this year are stunning and I can't get the reverso TTR enamel out of my mind... well and the rest of this evolution of a collection...
... and a hearty oofah! The new Duo's are sweet. Love the model with enamel dial. Tres magnifique! When will they make one for me in stainless steel? Thanks for a great report, Nic'. See you soon, my friend. - Scott
Hi Fab update - the ultra thins all have a lot of appeal. The auto Reverso looks especially tempting. If if we go into the realms of impossibility then the Hybris Mechanica Eleven is wonderful . Cheers JML
I'm interested in the first-ever automatic (non-Squadra) Reverso for two reasons: 1) This means that Jaeger-LeCoultre now has 25 different case sizes in the Reverso lineup (no kidding!) 2) The calibre used, 967B, is presumably related to calibre 967A, cur...
Movement, not a rectangular shaped one. I asked for a picture of the calibre, and will wait to have all the remaining informations to include them in my review. Best, Nicolas
So it's a round movement like the 967A. BTW, I typoed it before: The 967A is used in a the 29mm Night & Day, not the (imaginary) 39mm watch. So perhaps it really is exactly the same movement! One could imagine that a circular movement that fits in a 2...
wonder if it's borne out of market clamor OR if it's a push to add new customers that shy away from a reverso because it's a manual. either way, it doesn't matter. it's a sensible move and i just hope that it doesn't mean the start of the end for manual w...
Hybris Mechanica 11 for size 41mm, thinness, flying tourbillon, flying balance wheel, automatic peripheral winding system and push button activation of the minute repeater. Innovative and very wearable with outstanding features! Thanks and gratitude for t...
Outstanding Post and Brand - Jerome and the teams vision in terms of design, execution and final product delivery is exemplary - Artistica line is fabulous and a world beater.
The " Artisticas " let me really speechless... I didn't expect that, it was a breathtaking surprise. But the rest of the collection is mature, well thought and smart. JLC did it again, as a consistent manufacture it is! Best, Sid. It was a real pleasure t...
