Wow =D
I absolutely LOVE it 
I genuinely find it hard to believe just how great it turned out to be! Every single detail looks immaculate, and paired with that sublime burgundy strap and buckle it makes the totality of the piece irresistible 
.... Supremely happy for you my friend, this wonderful watch has not only received a new lease on life, but it has now continued serving your family for generations, and I am confident it will continue in service to your family members for generations more.... Cheers to that! Filip
A restored watch
So, I've finally been able to pick up my grandfather's watch fully restored . It's a Jaeger-LeCoultre Uniplan Étrier . “ Uniplan ” means that the caliber is constructed on a single layer / plane , as opposed to “ duoplan ” calibers which are constructed o...
Fantastic looking watch !
The restoration work looks superb. And you made the right decision to go for the dial restoration!! Congratulations for this wonderful piece of family history. Best, Gerard
Thank you so much, Gerard!
I’m really impressed with the subtlety/delicacy of the restoration. Truly wonderful. Best, Emmanuel
I love the outcome and, as you say,
it’s the only thing that matters ! A keeper, without a doubt. Best, Emmanuel
Well done!
Congrats Emmanuel! The restoration is incredibly meticulous, credit to JLC for preserving the vintage parts in their inventory. The strap looks fantastic and pairs beautifully with the watch. What really stands out is the dial, JLC restored it, not replac...
Thank you, S F !
I don’t know of the missing parts were taken from their vintage stock or made on purpose. 37 mm is the lug to lug; the width is only 24 mm: a truly small watch by today’s standards. But it works for me. And I really love how the restoration work has been ...
Wow =D

Thank you so much, Filip!
I am very touched by your enthusiasm and kind words. 🌸🙏🏼🌸 Best, Emmanuel
Huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
The restoration looks impeccable and the watch is perfectly sized and proportioned IMHO 👌🏻👍🏻 Now the Gondolo is getting some serious competition 😉👏🏻👍🏻
Unfortunately, no.
I asked if the watch could be opened so that I could have a look at the movement, but they didn’t want to take such a responsibility in the boutique. I guess I’ll have to live with this frustration ! 🤷🏽♂️ Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much, K! 🌸
The Gondolo will indeed have some days of rest! The pleasure provided by such a watch is very special and I really like how the restoration work has been done. Best, Emmanuel
Amazing outcome.
First off, the watch has presence on your wrist. So size then is irrelevant to me, I think with the light colour dial and those lugs this is plenty (size) of watch for your wrist. Looking at the other examples in your earlier post I believe yours with the...
Thank you so much, Jay!
As you can imagine, I am very sensitive to everything you say! Yes, this size works for me with such a watch and I like the dressy look with this mesmerizing seconds hand. I also love the way the dial was restored: the work is so subtle! And it’s definite...
That came out so good and
now you have a family treasure that one of your grandchildren can enjoy one day. Plus, it’s such a great looking watch. The new correct hands look really fantastic. What a great looking watch!
Thank you so much, Steve!
Your enthusiasm goes straight to my heart. 🌸 Best, Emmanuel
First off congratulations on the receipt of your grandfather's restored Jaeger-LeCoultre Uniplan Étrier it is just stunning.
This watch just looks beautiful and I am a big fan of the lugs dial and hands that all work in perfect harmony, As for the size as you know I also have a smaller watch my Boucheron and it is is amazing just how quickly the brain will adjust and the size w...
Thank you so much, Marc!
The size worked instantaneously for me, because I don’t think this watch would be as charming if its size was larger. And I’m very glad that you like the whole “package”: watch, strap, etc. Best, Emmanuel 🌸
Awesome! Fantastic!
Looks amazing! I agree...JLC did a great job! The design is spectacular and so unique...definitely worth the restoration! I think you did well to have the dial cleaned up and the size is great! Well done and enjoy! Stunning!
Thank you so much, Dimardi!
I’m truly touched by your enthusiasm. And I am really grateful to JLC for having done the restoration work so well. Best, Emmanuel
Hard not to be enthusiastic with a stunner like that!
I envy you...having this passed down. Neither my Grandfather or Father had any watches....I would have enjoyed having a vintage watch from my Grandfather and something from my Dad. Cherish that watch and the memories!
Indeed, I consider myself very lucky that my mother
kept this watch and passed it on to me. And being able to give a second life is such a chance. Thank you again. I will indeed cherish the watch and the memories.
Wonderful, quattro!
So glad it all worked out. Frankly, the size looks just about perfect for your wrist...as if it was made for you. Your grandfather had great taste...
Thank you, Bruckner!
I’m indeed very glad he chose such a design. And very grateful to JLC for having done the restoration work so well. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful watch👌🔥
The dial looks fantastic, as does the overall watch. It doesn’t look too small on your wrist, it looks fantastic. Perhaps the Gondolo is going to get a little less wrist time?😊
Thank you so much, Vetnov!
The size feels indeed absolutely right for such a watch and for my wrist. The Gondolo is indeed going to get some rest! ;-) Best, Emmanuel
Such a beautiful, classic dial
it could well have served as inspiration for the significantly later much more striking Reverso Art Deco, essentially the same class. Congratulations on this beautiful and rare watch; the restoration was worth every penny. ...
Thank you so much ! You’re absolutely right,
the lineage with the Reverso Art Deco seems obvious. And what a stunning guilloche dial on this watch! Best, Emmanuel
That has to be worth every
single cent the restoration cost. Wear it in good health, pride and care!!
Thank you so much, Thomas!
I also think that this restoration was worth every penny. Best, Emmanuel
Exquisite outcome! Love the dial, the hands, the Hermes-esque lugs, and the overall wrist appearance. Well done and congratulations!
Your grandfather will be smiling from above…
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You are very right: the lugs are Hermès-related. And I’m really grateful to JLC for having done such a refined job. Best, Emmanuel
Mama Mia it sure looks good on you!
The size is just perfect it fits you like a glove. Cheers Pelle
Thank you so much, Pelle!
I like the size very much indeed: larger, this watch wouldn’t look as refined and I think that its presence on the wrist would be paradoxically diminished (from a quality rather than quantity perspective). Best, Emmanuel
Had the chance to see it this afternoon in real ...
The restoration made on the dial is just amazing comparing with the initial condition ( www.watchprosite.com
Indeed, they’ve done a wonderful job
and I’m very grateful they did. Thanks a lot! Best, Emmanuel
Oh wow, my friend. It came out amazing.
This is a very special moment. I don’t know how you have felt but I really had my fingers crossed for this project. I have the Omegas from both my grandfathers and they are very, very dear to me and can never be replaced. I think JLC have done an outstand...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Christian, for your kind and thoughtful words.
Thank you also for your support from the very beginning of the project: your enthusiasm and encouragement sustained me. I'm so glad you like the final result too: I'm truly impressed by the quality of JLC's work, especially concerning the dial and the han...
Im so happy for you 🤗
Now we expect lots of posts with this watch down the line. It is such a beauty. Funny to think about the life it has lived on your grandfather’s wrist. Fascinating.
Oh wow!
Congratulations are in order, this is really a beautiful piece, so great that your mother kept it and passed it on to you. Restoration seems perfect, the watch looks very very good on your wrist, the design is beautiful and the strap complements it perfec...
Thank you so much for your kind words, Derreck!
Much appreciated. I'm really impressed by the job done by JLC and wearing this watch is a great pleasure, now. The 1+ year wait was well worth it! Best, Emmanuel
Wonderful - both the watch & the journey
Hope you've enjoyed the anticipation of getting it back too. While it looks wonderful, what you can't see is the history it carries. You understand that & that is as important as how good the watch now looks. Enjoy wearing it & the history you have with i...
Thank you so much, JML!
You are so right: beyond its wonderful look, this watch means something important to me and wearing it carries a very special feeling. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful restoration work.
It's worth the wait and the cost, Emmanuel. Congratulations on revitalizing this vintage (with emotional attachment) piece of art.
