I just meant that it seemed interesting to me that VC would use the JLC movement for an extended period, then begin using the GP movement, then phase it out in favor of the JLC again. It could just be an effort to "keep it in the Richemont Group" (as suggested) or any number of other practical considerations I suppose.
