As always, a fascinating and in-depth report -- greatly appreciated. And very interesting, as it addresses a part of the Manufacture that one doesn't often think about (put another way, how many more pictures of watchmakers' backs as they sit at their benches do we need?).
Thanks again,
Gary G

Thanks, Dje, for the excellent report. JLC's vertical integration reflects a big investment in an area that could perhaps be more economically outsourced. To me this represents a comprehensive commitment to quality assurance for their products - - - somet...

I dont think this was on the tour the last time. Nice to see the different people who make up the 900+ at the Manufacture. BTW, is this your way of distracting us from bugging you for a SIHH sneak preview?

Thank you very much for that insight, Jerome!

Well I knew about the frog legs (both the eating aberration of the French and the electricity) but until your report I did not imagine that it takes seven steps to finish the movement parts regardless of an additional polishing of edges pp. Amazing! Cheer...

It is not only interesting but great fun to see how the galvanizing is carried out at JLC. Here's looking forward to your next great report, keep 'em coming ... Dirk

Would that we had more posts like Dje's on the Galvanic baths at JLC. Thank you so much, Dje, I really enjoyed it and know that the other folks enjoyed it, too. Your sly reference to "other makers" was probably not overlooked by others in the Forum. Watch...
