Did you see what they released right now?
Basically a Polaris date that’s a copy of the Polaris Mariner and in basically
The same color combo as the gradient blue from 2019! I also noticed they have different set of hands between the Mariner and only one Polaris date. Weird things going on over there

Why Are Watches Discontinued?
Had to ask myself and sure there's no one answer for all, but this watch, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph, was launched in 2012 and discontinued a short six years later around 2018. I bought one around 2018, but as many do in this mad hobby, sol...
Cool story
With a happy ending. I owned the deep sea vintage Chronograph (dual register). Mesmerizing dial and bezel. Wore a bit too large for me which is why I ended up selling it
I’m guessing Jlc discounted the deep sea because it didn’t meet their sales target?
I believe that’s the same reason they discontinued the master compressor line? The good thing as you can see with the Polaris reintroduction is that the deep sea can eventually make a comeback some time…
I don't understand either
I am not a fan of how JLC is being managed at the moment. It's one of my favorite brands, so it makes me even more disappointed. The discontinuation of the Geophysic, the Deep Sea and Master Compressor lines was a move in the wrong direction. The polaris ...
I suspect that, like a lot of brands...
JLC suffers from 'design by committee' where everything is over-thought and driven by 'future style' predictions and questionable focus groups rather than truly creative individuals. I agree that the Polaris may check a lot of boxes on paper, but doesn't ...
It also suffers from pandering to the mass market
Some watches in the master control and master ultra thin lines seem generic and uninspired, like the MUT date with the silver dial. They need more colorful dials and interesting watches for their lower end offering, plus they have really gone overboard wi...
Reverso Duoface
Bought one in Switzerland 9 months ago for 9k, as of now it costs 11.7k. Yeah right... I guess they want to close the gap to entry level VC and AP depending on the model.
I bought a duoface for around 9k last year in february
That same model is 12.5k now... Why JLC?

I traded my Rolex deep sea for this
In 2018 and to this day regret it! This watch was a amazing across the board. Once thing I don’t miss is how loud it was. Felt like the winding rotor was going to fall out. Overall though it’s incredible and i have no idea why they discontinued it. That g...
