Jaeger-LeCoultre

Wow, this is one I really like

 

I have been a bit grumpy lately when it comes to (some) of the new models (though less so over the last 3 years as I think the line-up is becoming better than the 2000 decade offering). But this one is someting I really like.

Congrats to JLC for bringing us such a nice watch.  Actually, I think this movement is way to big for the wrist watch, and so it really makes sense in its current format  (rather than in a wristwatch that is barely wearable)

And the way it has been designed is both a tribute to the 2 grande complication watches from the 1930's and a modern take as well which echoes the current duometre designs. So well done.

I for one applause the return to the fine art of pocket watches

(and for those who haven't seen the video, here is the screencap)

Take some decent photos of them, as it was tough to do so in the JLC booth during the SIHH. I agree with you, this one let me speechless. Really superb. If I find the picture I took of the draw, I will post it. Best, Nicolas

I have discovered recently the very best way to learn of and view watches which you cannot simply see in the stores is through video. Computer scans and even live shots with a camera really do not compare to a product being handled on video. I wish all of...
