Perpetual Calendars: How do you like them?
Looking at the past and present JLC catalogs provides you a huge sensation of dizzyness, when it comes to Perpetual Calendars. All the materials have been used, at the exception of Titanium, though, as well as the case shapes, to hilight this complication...
Never had a PC
and its about time. The skeletonized version is not logical to me (sorry bijo) as I find eligibility to be essential (not the case with the MMR, on the contrary!). I do like the plain look and welcome the alarm function. I also would like to see a 'fool p...
It depends. If you consider the skeleton PC as a piece of horological art...
Then why not? If now you consider legibility as the most important thing, then it is definitely not for you. After all, like all our precious watches in general, do we really need a PC to know the date, when your cell phone can give it to you for free? If...
Yes, it is a piece of art
we can agree on that. I also look to have form and function with the artistic side. That is why the MMR skeletal is so appealing. Besides being a piece of art it is the concept of listing to the time rather than seeing it, therefore a dial that is not eas...
Plain would be my choice
JLC have eclectic range of PCs for sure Nice presentation my friend Do you have any regrets? ;) :) Best D
Well, regrets, not really. Sometimes, maybe?
I loved this watch a lot, but I was running after another one for a vlong time and its owner wanted the QP Skeleton as part of the trade... I still wonder which PC I will get.... Best, Nicolas
+1 on the "plain" .. eclectic enough it is for me, I assume :)
For a PC there always are the issues of function and friendliness of the complications and Then the issue of balance vs completeness, and then the appeal and harmony of the indications.. No easy decisions, at least not for me.. Best, Damjan hs
Skelton 8 days for me...
A long love affair.....why did you/why? Of course Gyro..but thats for another life..... For the rest,well all good offers but none makes me dream...... Great selection though. Mo
Because you know what I got for the PC Skeleton, and I also had a crazy dream.
Trying to get the Gyro One... The bet ended with a fiasco, but it was worth trying! Best, my friend, and happy hunting! Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2013-07-14 08:59:45
I understand Nico, and well you did....
The gyro will be yours one day, I know that...... I already have a pc ,,, how many can one have? I have an idea for another one but.... just an idea.... Many others first. Mo
Well, your RO PC Skeleton is, as you know, on the top of my PC list.
I doubt the Gyro One will be mine one day... I don't have a plane which is strong enough to reach that height in the sky of my dreams. But the RO skeleton is nor of my fav, one of my VERY fav PCs. And it is, somewhat, a JLC! Best, Nicolas
Never had one yet.. But it's on my list - someday hopefully !
The current Master PC ("plain" , as you said) is quite a nice offer and so balanced, as well, almost - how shall I say , comprehensive in its functionality and appeal.. Hmm.. It is just that currently I may have to focus my wallet for some time.. ;) The G...
This is the good thing, with diversity. We can find OUR happiness quite easily.
Mine is a bit less easy to reach, since it is a dream of mine... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas.
A PC is on my list one day....
my only problem is that I am not a 'dressy' guy, I don't wear a suit to work - I'm in jeans and a labcoat getting my hands dirty..!! So for me I would like a sporty looking PC which are rather rare - I can only really think of the IWC Pilot and the UN. Ho...
Well, you would have to make a decision, if you go for another skeleton.
UN PCs are among the most friendly in the current production... For some 20 years, now! Best, my friend. Nicolas
It is a long time since we have seen the 8-day Skeleton
I had forgotten just how beautiful it is -- front and back! Woweeeeee! Best, respo
Not really
Oddly, the perpetual calendar complication has had less and less appeal for me, and there are other priorities. That may change with time, of course. But that JLC 8-Day Skeleton is breathtaking. As I mentioned, I had not seen it, nor even thought of it, f...
I am very demanding when it comes to PCs, my friend. So
I can understand your point! Best, Nicolas
I like the...
Master Perpetual (37mm) in rose gold's layout the best (disc'd in '04/05), with the year embedded in the month subdial and "flipped" from the current, IWC-layout. The QP+Alarm has always been exclusive to JLC, but it is a thick watch. I look forward to se...
The new MUT 39 PC is a very niece piece.
I will have to check what you said about the bezel and the Patek similarity... I didn't notice that! Best, Dean. Nicolas
If we take the Gyro away fro the moment and just speak about the mortal PC's
The 8 day manual skeleton is stunning. It is finished beautifully and marries the artistry and complexity of the work involved, while still remaining highly functional, aesthetically beautiful and masculine. That's not to say I don't appreciate JLC's othe...
The 8 Days PC skeleton is special, a true piece of modern art.
I think a much more affordable MUT 39 PC, with its AWESOME case, is a winner, here. But, in my maddest dreams, the Gyro I is still hauting my nights... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
