Love that UN! One of the only no-date versions of that timepiece.....
which, for me, works perfectly. Love the L&H as well.

Yes, we have a purist in the UK with a platinum one too!
His is truly rare, only three ever made. Mine is from a second group, made in addition tot he original 150, by Rolf for “his friends”...
Beautify JD, as are all JDs IMHO. Mine doesn't have an enamel dial so I won't post it in this thread, but just wanted to comment about production numbers...
I had my JD serviced in fall of 2019, upon picking up the watch the manager at the NYC boutique said JD makes about 3,100 watches a year. She seemed well informed about the brand although I admit that number sounds low to me.
Wow, are the productions number that low now? I spoke to the director of J*D France at their boutique in Paris and thought they produced double that amount...
I could be mistaken but I definitely know it is a low number in any case, most definitely less than 8,000 watches a year.
I will try and confirm once I get a chance after this COVID-19 situation 👍

I'd assume the director in France would be better informed than the manager of a boutique in the US. But if you ever get a chance to confirm, I'd be interested to know. [nt]

Congrats, very very nice
J*D makes wonderful dial for sure.
This black beauty also amazing.

I am enough lucky to visit Donzé Cadrans SA, where also very sophisticated in enamel arts.

Hello Yokozuna!
Besides watches, what else does your cat like? Treats? Belly rubs? Scratches behind the ears?
Individual
JD looks so individual.
Watches for a select group of people who collect it.
Swatch group luxury peaces. I said this on an other reply, JD looks as the target market is Asia.
If sister Breguet is more that classic watch brand, that find it’s fans in Europe.
It are both expensive Swatches.

The history of J*D is actually very interesting. And yes, J*D was most successful in Asia during the past with it's automation...
Even today one can see the influence from it's past success in Asia with it's signature Grande Second piece which showcases the figure 8 (infinity) symbol.
I would even go so far as to say that Jaquet Droz, the man, is one of the most innovative people EVER in horology when you study his works with automatons as well as enamel, gem sets, etc...

Believe me there are times when I find this plain watch very boring
