A couple of words...

...if I may.

First, the report is outstanding, and what we have now come to expect from each of our 'Duetto' moderators. Thank you - merci millefois - Nicolas.

Second, the watches are a credit to JLC. We will perhaps agree to disagree amongst ourselves on what is thin and what is ultra-thin; whether the classic MUT needs indices or not; whether a new calibre was mandatory (would we have expected this of anyone but JLC?); even whether the finish of the QP is or is not up to standard. What cannot be denied, however, is that JLC has 'delivered' right across the spectrum this year: a magnificent Reverso Gyrotourbillon (sigh...); a new AmVox (a sports tourbillon no less!); not one, but  two Polaris re-editions (and so faithful to the original!); not two but  three new Atmos clocks (each one a bold statement, either horologically or artistically); a new worldtimer, jewellery pieces - the list goes on. Now here, some favourites (old and new) in a classic combination to mark a key point in the history of the manufacture. You asked - JLC listened. Where else have you seen such energy this year? Bravo M. Lambert, Mlle. Metrailler et al.

Finally, just as we have been spoiled with a wealth of treasures from JLC,  so also we have been given service sans pareil  by Nicolas and Jerome who have elbowed their way into receptions, shows, boutiques and workshops, who have studiously avoided the free champagne and canapes, who have pointed cameras in improbable situations and typed into the small hours, fingers bleeding, to bring to us immediately not just pictures, not just news, but passionate, knowledgeable, balanced (hmmm....) and deep reviews of all the things that might interest JLC aficionado and newcomer alike. Without doubt the best coverage of any brand, anywhere. Gentlemen: thank you !

Cheers,

pplater.
