Tried these on today at the JLC Boutique..
Super friendly manager at the Bond Street and service oriented. Dropped off my master compressor extreme world for polishing & tried the perpetual calendar and the new Chronograph …. ...
Thanks for the pictures.
They both look great but the perpetual calendar is particularly pretty. All the best, Jon
Yes! Bond Street JLC has been good to Many WatchProSite members!
I once came in for a spring bar. I had one, but I needed two. They took my spring bar, found a matching version, gave it to me, didn't charge me anything, and thanked me for coming in. This was a Chinese lady employee at JLC. They didn't grill me if I had...
Yes, the people at the London JLC boutique are great even though it is always pretty busy.
I also agree about the Swiss chocolate. We fly with Swiss mostly because they hand out chocolate at the end of the flight! All the best, Jon
Swiss has become quite a mediocre airline...
Swiss has become a mediocre airline in some ways - it used to be better. Long haul flights out of Zurich are still okay, but the shorter flights are quite bad. Flights out of Geneva are getting awful. Sometimes I want to take a train back to Zurich from G...

My favorite small Swiss producer is Jacob Chocolatier!
Lindt is very ordinary, but the museum in their factory is good! I haven't been to the experience in Luzern! I haven't noticed the aftertaste in Lindt chocolate. Jacob is quite good. Harder to get since it's a small producer. Everyone is crazy for Laderac...
Thanks for the tip. I will check out Jacob.
Laderach is nice. The other brand I like is Venchi, but that’s Italian. They have a few shops around London.
Ahh, I do like Venchi as well.
What can I say, I like chocolate! For Jacot, go for the 70% Ecuadorian chocolate. It has some nice fruity and "round" notes. The bar is well made and the tempering is always done well - evidenced by the perfect snap I get from Jacot chocolate. And I just ...
No sir . Not at the moment ..
Will wait for the watches & wonder . Still waiting for my jlc Reverso steel Chronograph ..
WOW, that perpetual calendar is niiiiice.
Not to nitpick but doesn't a perpetual calendar normally have a leap year indicator?
