The watch was mentioned in the new collectible book…



Sentier, Le Chenit… we have a problem…

Moreover… even Blomman who contribute to this superb book has written here in an old post that « he never saw one in the market » :



The vintage world is full of traps… Even the greatest are fallible but work always pays off.

The main problem is that with the promotion on the Collectible book... some collectors will take what is written as gospel because it comes from the Manufacture.

It is true that only those who do nothing ever make mistakes... but hope some erratum or reserves will be published.

A mistake should not become a reality...

Always doubting, checking, gathering clues, crossing rare informations is a sign of passion, of love for watchmaking and in particular for JLC to whom you have given so much.

Continue to teach us, to give us the desire to discover my friend.

Thanks a lot.

The problem is never the mistake... but the persistence in the mistake. Best Ø

Well said.
