To me the reverso is amongst the greatest watches of all time
And I really mean it... I have a medium duoface and I LOVE IT. JLC as a brand is unfortunately suffering because of bad management. The collection is stale. They kept focusing on pushing the brand upmarket by raising prices and making extremely expensive and limited hybris mechanica pieces, forgetting what their core audience wants. It's a shame, because Cartier is being so amazingly successful within the same group by doing exactly that: listening to the enthusiast. Not to mention that while Cartier doesn't actually need to listen to us, JLC certainly does, as watch nerds are their core buyers.
P.S. I love dress watches and, like most people who do, I am fond of smaller sizes. Most of JLC's collection is made of dress watches that are a little too big to be appreciated by me and others. Since guys who like larger watches are usually into sports watches, why not make the dress watches more appealing to the people who would actually buy them?

I saw it....
a few days ago. Some points are really well made, and some are simply superfluous. Worth seeing, I agree. Cheers, Filip
His points are reasonably salient... although
I don't necessarily agree with the comment about online sales being detrimental to a brand... Apple is a strong international brand, yet their online sales presence is very smooth and integral to their success and product access. For JLC, the online exper...
Online sales for laptops…
…headphones, etc., things that are commodities, are different than luxury goods.
Surely there’s a place for exclusive, luxury items to be purchased online
It doesn’t mean the retailer will always have the product available, but I can’t imagine in the 21st century this problem couldn’t be figured out (maybe not by JLC in this instance, but maybe some other brand that has their act together).
I think someone will figure it out...
...perhaps have every model available to try on at an AD or boutique, and have the watch shipped directly to the buyer when (if) it becomes available. A lot of it will depend on price point. With anything 'expensive,' many consumers will want personal ser...
I gave up at the 9 minute mark - he could use an editor...
But I agree JLC has some image issues, and I think that's been the story for a long time.
Interesting clip..Having had some awful experiences with JLC
I would say the problems are: 1. Richemont don’t know if they have other priorities but they DESTROYED JLC. 2. Quality Control (see above) 3. No real hero product that I lust after except Duoface (ruined by see above) 4. A lack of (as mentioned in the cli...
Somehow it reminds me of how Grand Seiko is doing.
Numerous limited edition, online sale and many look alike models and increase in pricing. They are East and West watch manufacturers, they make watches in house. They also have many fans. In short, I think JLC has not caught up with the trends yet. Polari...
Being daring, like Tudor? : - )
There was the titanium AMVOX, not that JLC need to follow the recent trend and you are right, no daring enough. With today's technology, manufacturing accurate and anti-magnetic movements is not rocket science. There are watch manufacturers using new comp...
i want to want to want a Reverso, and my wife DOES wants one...
...when she saw it on the series Halt And Catch Fire. The problem is their current quality, possible service costs, and how about a single-face Reverso with a VERY lovely HAND finished movement on the other side? How about a Grand Seiko in a Reverso type ...
Excellent points....
The only thing I'll say, their service costs are on the lower end overall. My full service last year was less than $900....
Their servicing costs are reasonable.
That is one of the important elements to keep loyal customers.
Thanks, and so the question is when will JLC give their Reverso series a chance to succeed?
Not that i mind deep discounts, which is very common with JLC, but if they don't produce anything desirable the price does not matter now does it? Surely a $7000 SS reverso with display back showcasing 'Grand Seiko' dial quality and movement finishing is ...
An interesting perspective but certainly very repetitive. I am not sure that all the comparators are what I consider to be the height of desire.
I have had a great experience with JLC. In recent years they have overly focused on the Reverso which I have succumbed to at times while still pleading for a new duometre. I am not sure who this video is targeting. He doesn’t mention that line which reach...

Thanks!
At this point we can only hope for a change of management, because the Maison has the potential to do amazing things.
