although I probably won't rate Jean Richard on par with JLC. I also like to see a movement with more power reserves and more manual wind (perhaps with the higher end haute horlogerie collection at least) I like a lot of GP's designs but I just can't figure out why they haven't captivate more audience that they truely deserved. I guess the slogan "watches for the few since 1791" really fits and I'm really fortunate enough to have discovered the brand.
