Jaeger-LeCoultre

And this time with an engraving on the verso.

It's not a quick process, but I think it's often a bit quicker than that. Mine was delayed unfortunately. Yes, it was done by JLC via my friends at the London Boutique.

Looks amazing, 6 months seems almost lucky from what I heard though...

The touch of green is too nice.  Are you a cardician (card magician) or card illusionist…or even pro poker player?  You clearly have a notable appreciation for cards.

I'm a member of The Magic Circle, but more of a mentalist, and less of a "cardician" (or "cardigan" as my spellcheck prefers). I use cards to read minds. A little like Derren Brown or Kreskin.

There’s no question about who’s “the life of the party” when you’re around. 👏🏼

Congratulations

Looks like you're assembling a winning hand ;-)

That is something to behold

and the price you quoted is a lot better than I expected 

I am still thinking whether to engrave mine with an idea I have. But when asked for sample i didn’t like it that much and would require more detail and work.

Having said that - the detail on yours is quite extensive - wonderful. So it should be possible.
Did you just provided them with a card as a sample? And told them where to color red or green?
Thanks.

I figured as the watch cost £7,000, and the engraving £1,500, it was worth spending £50 to have an illustration prepared professionally. My friend designed the decks of cards that I use, so he said it was relatively quick and easy for him to provide a black and white design with hints of green. As you can see in the photos, the indices on the cards actually extend above and below the picture frame on the card, and the indices themselves are quite small compared with the overall size of the card. So I asked my designer to enlarge the indices and have the picture frame of the engraving extend right to the top and bottom of the casebook. I gave him the dimensions of the flat surface on the casebook, and he made sure the design made good use of the space available. JLC are very good at tweaking the design I provided to take into account their expertise of what is possible using engraving and lacquering.
Having said that, I think many clients simply provide JLC with a photograph, or even just a rough description of what they would like.

Once again ... it looks awesome!!

Well played!  A clever play!  And what a nice hand! 

I am glad my wife cannot read my mind when it comes to dirty thoughts about watches!!
