Fantastic, detailed, insightful review! Thank you. I am a fortunate owner of this limited edition. Mine unfortunately needed to be returned to JLC immediately as the hour hand did not align with the hour marker precisely. The alarm also rang approx 15 min earlier than its setting. Unfortunate (and uncharacteristic) quality control from JLC, but Iβm sure it will be addressed and returned to me quickly. Iβm a big fan of this new model. Thanks again for an outstanding review.
