They were NOT watch enthusiasts ( at least 99% )! They wanted to know more of what was "going on" with this interest in watches.
The THING, the allure of Jaeger LeCoultre for them, and this was after the dinner, and I had some other occasion to talk to them, was that they felt that this was a brand that had a no nonsense and great value appraoch.

The cake was the Duometre and the new Compressors! My past reputation for being another Hawkeye Pierce or worse..."House MD"..was catching up on me.
