JLC Tribute Deep Sea Alarm US Edition Project

Key Points from the Discussion

• The lumed version of the proposed watch is generally preferred, though some express reservations about 'fauxtina' and the high contrast of the red disc against a black bezel.
• A suggestion was made to shorten the minute and seconds hands or expand the dial to ensure they remain within the minute track, similar to the auctioned Red version, to enhance legibility and aesthetics.
• One member expressed skepticism about the necessity of altering an already excellent dial, preferring the original design of the Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm models.
• The significance of the red color on the alarm disc was questioned, indicating a desire for historical or design context.
• A darker shade of red, such as maroon, was suggested for the inner disc, and there was interest in a potential movement update to a 70-hour power reserve if JLC were to produce the watch.
• Several members expressed strong enthusiasm for the project, particularly for the lumed version, and eagerly awaited updates on its viability with Jaeger-LeCoultre.
