Thanks Nico for the report !
Gorgeous watches !
It's always difficult to make again a similar watch because I'm sure a lot of people don't agree about this. But they managed to do it, in fact twice, congrats to JLC and to the people involved in this project.
Thanks again Nico for the pics.

POLARIS, THE RE EDITION.
Hello to All of you, Polaris Lovers. And to All the others, who love Vintage,Iconic, Historical watches with a strong identity and charism. Here's the re birht of one of these watches, that I'm glad, not to say..proud to introduce you, The Polaris. I iniv...
Thank you Nicolas.....
The event was amazing and I would like to thank everybody I met for their hospitality and friendship during my visit. It is great to finally put faces to the names..!! There isn't much more to be said about the Polaris and both of the new versions are stu...
Hey, Andy
This was great to meet you. hope we'll have other occasions to meet again! Did you like it? Best. Nicolas
Yesss !
Thanks for the great post as usual ! Too bad I have not been able to attend the presentation :-( It is very exciting to see that some smart people can make the re-edition of a 1960's watch without spoiling it with Luminova and a sapphire crystal ! And I k...
WOW!!!
Thanks Nic for sharing your passion on the Polaris! Great pics of the vintages to compare with the re-ed. and the re-eds protos do the vintages some justice, very very similar. Wonder if any would come to Singapore eventhough there's a JLC boutique here.h...
Finally....
... a re-edition that can truly claim to be a re-edition as opposed to an ' homage ' or an 'interpretation' - and not one, but two!! ["But wait, there's more...!!"]. For many, this is a great outcome. It will also be interesting to know what readers think...
Great review.....
I am sorry I missed such a great event. The Polaris looks superb and it must be very satisfying to see your efforts come to fruition. Simon
Thanks Nicolas
for this great post, to be "watch" again and again before discovering real ones. We are thinking to be with you for this presentation. Wow for all details presented and your comments. Please to meet you soon. Best regards, Patrickh
Sir.Moderator very good post here!!
Hi nicolas, Very good read.....i like it,lots of pictures,short in story telling but full with facts,lots of sense of hummour......very easy to bite and digest.Good work!! Fot this.....i will definately going to get one RE-EDITION POLARIS!Both are perfect...
You have to stop.....
Nicolas, seriously, you are killing me here. I am going to be spending my children's college fund on watches if you keep doing these reviews. They are not born yet, but they are sure to come into this world in debt if I have to keep seeing pictures of Pol...
Fantastic re-editions! I'm having trouble figuring out which ones are the originals!
I like the 1963/1965 edition a bit more. Thanks for these wonderful pics, Nicolas!
Thanks Nico for the report !

Indeed, both polaris are fantastic !
Thank you for this great post, Nicolas! This event was a real succes with also the participation of Marc André that was available to highlight some historical points. Thanks a lot to the JLC team! But - and there's always a but - I am facing now a challen...
The picture does not do her justice ;-)
Elisabeth Ville, the JLC Paris boutique Manager is nothing else but a sweat heart. She will give you anything she possibly can as well as well as ensuring a kind and generous welcome. A big thank you to Elisabeth, and above all, long life to her, and Juli...
Thanks Nicolas,
For the artikel, love the dial, simple, clear, timeless, normal not a big fan of new editions, but this could even work for me. Cheers, Michel
And the mandatory WS,
Taken this Week End, in the Normandy Sea Side... Sea, Sun, and ...Polaris! LOL Best. Nicolas...
wow wow wow....I see your dream came true!...
what a beautiful job they did on that one...the dial is very faithful it appears. It's nice to see some companies truly trying to return to their roots.... eric
WOW, thank you for sharing these beautiful
photos of such a stunning piece. That domed plexi is simply divine. Hmm, would it be considered shilling if I offered my kidneys (LNIB) and/or liver (seen more moderate use, conservatively estimated 90 %) up for sale? Thanks again Jon
Perfection. Nothing more to say.
Wow Wow Wow!!!. Talk about faithful to the original design. I had to look over and over again to try and see the distinctions. So perfect. Thank you JLC and thank you Nicolas. I can't wait to see them in real life. Bill
Flawed: Automatic-Alarm-Calendar vs Automatic!
Nicolas, now that the Polaris remake has been widly acclaimed it is time for the critics! While the 1968 reedition has been done fine (apart from the use af an aged lookalike yellow luminous mass) the 1965 seems to be flawed in front of its historical bac...
my 2 cents...
Hi Christian, since you asked for my opinion I gonna share it. I don't like re-editions to begin with. This sort of products should be limited to brands like Heuer, Omega etc. From an accounting point of view understandable but for a die-hard collector li...
Great review Nicolas.
I'm about to ask for the pic of comparison but seems like you were able to read our minds. thanks and cheers.
