Sad news. The JLC boutique in Miami is closing
By: descartes1 : September 11th, 2020-14:20
Another victim of Covid I suppose. It’s really too bad because it was a high visibility store with good events, and I really enjoyed going in there. ...
wow must be really bad...

I think they even had some special editions for Miami and seemed an important location..
That is sad,

I wonder however if we will see more boutiques following suit in light of current events. Not necessarily JLC, but boutiques from every manufacturer. Between COVID and e-commerce brick and mortar stores are hurting.

I have never been to this boutique in the Miami Design district, but despite the Covid-19 situation, the Miami design district in the past few years has seen many high-end watch boutiques open there, and reportedly is a lovely high traffic luxury watch de...
This is all very true

And what’s more, miami is the gateway to Latin America and the design district is filled with wealthy tastemakers from there. It’s a huge marketing give-up to pull the boutique out of that location that extends far beyond the US. To put things in perspect...
Other boutiques are closing as well.

When I was there a couple of weeks ago the manager of the JLC boutique told me that a few other boutiques were closing as well.
JLC need to wake up!!!! I still love the brand ....

but right now I cant find anything in their collection I am willing to spend my hard earned money on. It has been like that fo a while. Since Lambert moved on I feel it has gone down hill.
Unfortunately I have to agree 100% with both of you.

The virus crisis finds JLC in a weak position without new ideas and fresh, innovative watches with strong character such as ExtremeLabs,AMVOX Duometres,Compressors and so on...They must act.. really hurts.

The Grande Maison has all the potential

It is a huge powerful machine. It has the technical knowhow, it has a hightly sophisticated production facility, it even has highly specialized artisan craftsmen. What it doesn’t seem to be having is someone with the vision of where to sail this impressiv...

We can buy a much lesser expensive watch this way, but

Will we really buy online anything else ? Whilst I do not hesitate to purchase from Amazon and likes, there is no way I can I have an incentive to discover, feel and buy an expensive watch I do not know by its presence The internet is to me great to gathe...
They had a special edition

When they closed the Raffles Hotel branch in Singapore. I missed the chance to buy it because I was broke then. Sigh... It was a reverso like this: Credit: ablogtowatch Credit: ablogtowatch ...
I was there a couple weeks ago.

I spoke to the boutique manager when I stopped by a couple of weeks ago, and he told me that unfortunately they will be closing. Sad indeed as I have been a client and friend of the boutique for several years. Most of the sales associates had already left...
Why shop at a Boutique?
By: sirdavid : September 26th, 2020-02:48
Sad news for the staff and for watch afficionados. I like a lot of the current JLC offering. I enjoy the timeless elegance of their simpler designs, and their price points seem very fair. The Master Ultra Thin and Master redesigns over the past couple of ...
