Thanks for your feedback, my friend.

I was looking at the JLC site.  There is another MC Chrono shown under the 2012 models.  I have not seen any pics or mention of this one.  Is there an updated chronograph already?

I like the Deep Sea chrono, the triple date reverso and can only dream for the skeleton reverso ( that blue border is just amazing.Frames the skeleton very nicely ).

are possibly perfection embodied--the RDM is just bigger, but it looks very right, love it in RG! The MC time and date is the most perfect and inarguable watch I have seen in years and years... probably the most perfect time/date watch they could possibly make at this time--this will be a smash for them. JLC is on such a roll!! 

The MC is a winner.  Price, design, wearability make it a perfect intro piece into higher-end pieces. 

Nothing spectacular, except the Duometre à Spherotourbillon, but everything is well thought, yes.

What I call a clever offer from JLC.

Best, Mostel.

I have a certain affinity for chronos with only 2 subdials too, so the layout is just right.  I have been tempted by the other recent vintage efforts, and this one likely will find me sooner or later.

I also find myself drawn to the 1931 Grande Reverso...

Thanks for the outstanding coverage Nicolas!  Always a highlight for all PuristS to read your work.  I hope the new models have excited you as well (perhaps the sphero tourbillon Duo??)

;-)

Which will find you.

Thanks for your kind words, my friend, but that post was some kind of easy post.

Serious things will start soon.

Best,

I can't wait to see the triple calendar Reverso, skeleton with blue enamel Reverso, the Deep Sea chrono, and Duometre tourbillon in the metal.  Gosh, lots to see!

Best, Daos.

Definitely needs to be tried out on the wrist before passing judgement. Same with the Deep Sea chrono (having said that, it will obviously sell). The triple date Reverso is a sure winner aesthetically although the 976-sized case isn't friendly to my wrist. Interesting 2012. I wonder how fast it will hit the stores. From my recollection last year, they were pretty fast making it available to the buying public. Thanks for sharing, Nico! The MC type watch is the big hole in my rotation and so i'm interested to see that in the flesh.

February 2012... Yes, you read it correctly ... February 2012!

April of thi year will see some other models...

Yes, JLC understood that it was not good to let their fans waiting too long between the unveiling and the delivery.

Best,

This:

Reminds me of that:

I wish this new reverso Calendar would have been issued in the more aptly-sized GT case instead of the superlarge size  (but I have sort of given hopes of finding any type of complication in the more wearable GT case now)

..

Yes the 976 size is a little big for my liking too

page 266-267. This was a perpetual calendar with retrograde date prototype that was in a Classique-size, of which the one offered this year is the most like.

It may make or break that Reverso for me, but I find it very attractive so far!

A

That is more appealing than the 976.

... you remember this conversation from 2.5 years ago:

jlc.watchprosite.com

But yes, it was the Cal 976 I was thinking of. Some movements are not meant to be seen. ;-$

Still officially not sure that the Reverso PC existed, in the late thirties...

To be discussed, I will of course post something in the weeks to come.

Best,

Love the Master Control, it will be purer if no date. Secondly is the Atmos
