What company produces unusual minute repeaters with even more gongs than Audemars Piguet? What company pioneered a multi-axis Tourbillon? A spherical tourbillon that actually works, when Breguet is technically considered the King of Tourbillons? JLC really pushes the envelope on these unusual pieces. Yet, they also remember the past and the history... Enamel painters are still working in-house at JLC. It's an amazing brand. Unfortunately not fully recognized for what it is because it's not considered a "top level finishing" brand. But neither is Rolex. We don't seem to fault Bentley nor Aston Martin for making cars with awful navigation systems, because we know the difficulty is in making a car that drives well with tremendous horsepower, we appreciate the fact that these brands spent their time, effort, and R&D resources into the engine and drivetrain. Hopefully one day JLC will receive the same appreciation. It may not have everything, but boy does it have it where it counts!
