This is an amazing watch and I think it looks great

Hello, The book is finally out as of September 23. I'm not sure I would call it a complete documentation of JLC (that would probably require 2000 pages!) but it should be a fairly thorough discussion of most relevant models between 1925 and 1970. It cover...
no movement pics
