Thanks a lot Kevin
Hi Kevin,
I'm touched by your kind words. Thank you for your support.
It was again this year a hard pleasure, but a real pleasure (and it's far from being over yet).
I'm glad you and hopefully many others here appreciate our work.
We're going to share a lot more, all together!

ps: OK I appreciated the champagne too! 
The " 1833 Collection ", a Tribute To JLC
1833 Collection, an opportunity to celebrate 175 years of JLC History. The 7th of April 2008, JLC presents 4 watches, 4 Masterpieces in Rose Gold as a summary of its long History. - The Master Ultra Thin, revisited for the occasion in a larger size ( 38 m...
Awesome! Thank you so much.
I think the rose gold perpetual squelette is my all-time favorite JLC piece. The contrast between the warm rose gold and the rhodium and the depth of the movement are stunning. Any idea on the price? John
MUT Impressions
Great report, Nicolas! I think a lot of us were awaiting the new MUT with great anticipation, and what a surprise that JLC launched TWO new versions AND a special anniversary edition in that lovely chocolate brown and rose gold combo, which I think is als...
Thanks a lot, Respo, for your great input
I have to say that when I knew that JLC will use the same caliber ( 849) in the new 38mm MUT, I was a bit decieved. Not because this movement doesn't speak to me, but only because I was hoping that JLC will also launch a new caliber, maybe a bit bigger, t...
6.31mm thick for the 38mm hand wound ? that is maybe thin but not ultrathin
Actually, I was quite surprised when reading that the new 38mm "ultrathin" is 6.31mm thick. That a very significant increase in thickness, from the previous 4.20mm I would have imagined that JLC would have increased slightly the thickness of the watch, in...
The skeletonised master 8 days perpetual is a nightmare.
I like the other three but not the skeletonised master 8 days perpetual. IMHO, the skeletonised work is so shoddy and it looks like a pile of scrap metal being arranged to look like a watch. This is certainly not the standard of JLC. I believe they can do...
Ling, you have to see this skeleton pc in the flesh
I persist on saying that the work on this watch is as fine as it is impressive... as I had the chance to see both of them in live. But to take in pic this watch is a pure nightmare. Best. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2008-04-16 06:48...
Nicolas, I will see this watch in the flesh and judge again.
But, don't you think this skeletonised work makes it very difficult to read the calendar and time? Unless one is told that practicality is not important here. Regards Ling
A couple of words...
...if I may. First, the report is outstanding, and what we have now come to expect from each of our 'Duetto' moderators. Thank you - merci millefois - Nicolas. Second, the watches are a credit to JLC. We will perhaps agree to disagree amongst ourselves on...
Beautifully stated as usual …
Thanks pplater for saying this for all of us. The work from JLC and the coverage provided here is more than any of us could have expected. The offerings this year from JLC (as well as some other companies) is almost too much to take in all at once. I cert...
Thanks Nicolas. I don't like JLC skeleton watches...
I like the Master Grande tourbillon, especially with the black dial. The 1833 edition ultra-slim looks great too. I don't like the skeleton perpetual though. In fact, none of the JLC skeleton watches so far really appeal to me, I find the skeletonised JLC...
SJX, I will make you lie...LOL
you really don't like JLC skeletons??? LOL Best. Nicolas...
Honesty is the best policy
I love the Platinum No. 2 tourbillon. A close friend of mine owns one and everything I see him I have to try the watch on. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the skeleton tourbillon... - SJX
Nicolas,seems that have to get all!!
Nicolas, As usual very thorough report on the 1833,all the rose gold version are very very nice,so tempting....especially the master toubillon in a sharp new dial. Here i would like to comment on the master 8 days perpetual skeletonize,i find it very inte...
Thanks so much for the report Nicholas!
Actually I quite like the RG 8 Day Perpetual Squelette. I thought long and hard abt. the Platinum version and still have my reservation: It looked/felt much smaller. (Perhaps I'm too used to my titanium MRM!) Moreover, somehow it's not exactly legible. W/...
