New for 2009
I know people are keen to know what is new for 2009.
I popped into my JL AD today and looked at a special catalogue dated 2008/2009.
This catalogue is referred to as the "175 years collection". And before I hear the jokes about Australia hearing about this stuff last, let me continue.
Amongst the goodies in this slim catalogue were the following (I was not allowed to take away a copy):
*Master repeater (collection 1833) Rose (pink) gold
*Master eight days perpetual SQ R gold
*Master grand tourbillon R gold
*Master ultra-thin
*Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2
*Reverso polofields (yuk! IMHO - see earlier post on this by me.)
*Squadra lady duetto
*Squadra lady
*Squadra lady Auto
*Memovox tribute to Polaris (Ltd 768 -- Nicolas, get in early)
*Amvox 3 Tourbillon GMT (wow!)
*Atmos Marqueterie (EXTRA WOW -- only 10 to be made)
Atmos Astonomique (Wonderful clock!)
The pieces that impressed me most were the:
Master Minute Repeater RRP $263, 000, limited edition of 175 (of course! This is an anniversary) in 18 ct pink gold (164 24 50)
Master Grand Tourbillon RRP $97,500, limited edition of 575 in 18 ct pink gold (166 24 50), and
Master Ultra Thin RRP $15,500, limited edition of 575 in pink gold (134 24 50 - folding clasp or 134 2550 - pin buckle)
The Memovox looks wonderful even to a Reverso nut like me.
If you like pink/rose gold, this is definitely the special JL for you!
