Thanks Nicolas for posting this scoop.
I think it looks great. More harmonious. More finished as you say. However I also liked the modern element the asymmetry. I think it gave the old version perhaps a little more "personality", and I found the little "J & N" hand to be quite charming.
The new Piece has a significant new crown. Is this because it is a Proto? It looks nice and also a bit retro!
IMO. The indexes are certainly nicer and and simpler without the lume dots behind the "dagger " indexes. Clean and simple without looking too "Patek"
If I could change one little thing, please... (LOL) .....I was never so crazy abuout JLC brushing one side of the dauphine hands. they certainly dont need it for the contrast of the two "planes" of the hand to differ, and I think it takes a bit of the nice finish. also, I think it looks a little ...aaaahh I lack the word.. not classic and also a bit unmodern....and now that you are reading my expert opinion (LOL) ..maybe the lume on the hands should go as well. Are these a unique shape to JLC? As far as I know, but a very nice shape, anyway. Not just classic daphine hands. The Lume is not of much use anyway in such a small amount and it certainly doesnt make the hand more beautyfull. Well... maybe in the next revision.....
This is just my very personal opinion, I know.. LOL
I think it will be very succesfull (another one from JLC)
best regards
