Bill these pics are gorgeous!
Yes, this PC is simply marvellous, complete and original too, as I think that this is the only one PC to have an alarm function.
You can also choose between the alarm and the vibration, which is very clever from JLC, if, for example, you're in a meeting, and if you want to remind something important to do without ..alarming your neighbours.
Thanks for sharing this beauty!
Best.

Photo essay: Jaeger LeCoultre Master Grand Reveil Perpetual
Jaeger LeCoultre Master Grand Reveil Perpetual Calendar Alarm. This is a beauty to behold. After reading a post below. I though a little refresher on the beauty is in order. And being a leap year this watch needs a little showcasing. Enjoy Bill...
Very nice pics Bill
this one has been on my list for a long time, but I am dreaming of the one in steel. I think there are a few steel watches that offer such an assembly of complications at such a price level. Now, if JLC ever make the steel case with a black dial - I am th...
I understand you, Asi
For your perfect information , a Rose Gold version with black diam exists, and it's marvellous. Best, my friend! Nicolas
All I can say is that each time ...
I strap this one on I have a real moment of sheer pleasure. Then I think to my self. This mechanical marvel can handle leap years and normal annual variations all on the fly. I can't help but smile at this accomplishment - and this will be the case for so...
I am all geared up. ...
There some Purists gathering around the globe that will be focused on the month end jump. There are not many watches, however, that will do the "leap" just after midnight. I am pretty sure mine will occur over a one or two hour period. So I am not sure wh...
Thanks Bill
Hi Thanks for the advice regarding my Master Grande Reveil. I've decided to sent the watch to Richemont in HK to get the date, moonphases, leap year calibrated. One question, is Grande Reveil a quantieme perpetual calendar? Value-wise, I am not that conce...
Yep, this is a Perpetual Calendar ...
Hey, BTW, you also have a IWC Deep One? I owned one too, and sadly sold it...Stupidly, I admit! Do you have some pics to post???? Best. Nicolas
About the Deep One
Regarding the scans, would it be alright if I post them on the JLC forum? at the end of the day, the heart of the watch is pure JLC.
Of course
JLC launched in 2007 a Depth meter, and I think that JLC has sometrhing to see with the Deep One, so a scan on the JLC forum has its natural place! Thanks! Nicolas
Request granted. Scans of IWC DEEP ONE. The boys at Richemont did a good job...
Hi all, Well, this is the watch that introduced me to "JEAGER" world. Technically, it is not a JLC. But deep deep down, the IWC Deep One is equipped with a world's first mechanical depth gauge movement. And yes, it works. Tried and tested. The Deep One co...
Bill by the way....
Hi Bill, Your scans of the Grande Reveil are stunning. What camera are you using? Pana
Forgot to share my Grande Reveil...
Hi all, Here are a few scans of the Grande Reveil. Even though, my photography skills aren't as good as Bill's. Well, this is what me and my camera could do... I decided to change the gator strap to a aftermarket carbon fiber strap for a more sporty look....
Nice work there Bill!
Hi Bill, Its abite late but better than never!Just came back from Chinese New Year Holiday.lOLOL... Everything i love on this pc of perpetual Except the alarm sound.The sound tone play is out of the expected i supoosed,besides that everything is perfect a...
To tell you the truth...
I have never set the alarm either on sound or on vibrate. I just love the watch for the look and the Perpetual mystery. Happy New year my friend. I am sure it will bring you good health, wealth and prosperity. Bill
Bill, to tell you another truth..
Grande complications are like a piece mysterious art. I've used the alarm when other buddies of mine wants to hear what it sound like. Vibrate mode? Enough said. About the Deep One, I'm certainly not a diver, but I just wanted to see what my money spent o...
You are absolutely right
Hi Pana, This is both art and science wrapped into one object that we can carry and enjoy at every occasion. A real marvel and a work of wrist art. This really is a keeper by all means. The best conversation piece to break the silence. Best Bill
Nice pics, Pana
now, one question: What will be your next JLC??? Thanks again for sharing! Nicolas
Something starting with P and mayby something starting ...
With a D. You never know what the folks at JLC will bring us. Bill
My next JLC?
Thanks Nicholas, Regarding the next JLC, I'm quite drawn towards the Reverso Squadra Chronograph with the rubber bracelet. My brother-in-law out of the blue was wearing the Squadra World Chronograph! No.81. Very pleasing to look at. But IMHO, the Squadra ...
