Jaeger-LeCoultre Simplicity Review

Key Points from the Discussion

• Eklektik highlighted the watch's surprising robustness, noting that the manual states it's suitable for swimming, which underscores JLC's design skill in creating a beautiful yet durable ultra-thin watch.
• Eklektik also discussed the preference for the 34mm version over the 38mm, stating that 34mm is 'perfect' for personal taste, and wondered which size sold better.
• Geross praised the watch as a 'very nice simple watch' and a 'joy and pleasure to own,' indicating a strong positive ownership experience.
• Arronax observed that the 34mm version is 'definitely more minimalist' and inquired about the ease of winding the 34mm due to a potentially smaller crown compared to the 38mm.
• KMII suggested that if one had to limit themselves to a single mechanical watch, this JLC model 'might be a top contender,' highlighting its versatility and enduring appeal.
• Eklektik confirmed that winding the 34mm is 'very easy,' but noted a 'hard stop' at the end of winding, indicating a specific characteristic of its manual movement.
