Hi All, I just came back from Geneva with a full suitcase of Dreams. Let me first quickly intorduce you the new JLC watches, this year. Of course we'll come back on each of these novelties in dedicated posts, but as I know you well, you would kill me if I...  

Thanks Nicolas for this overview of SIHH and these appealing beauties. I am definitely looking forward to see the Reverso Tribute to 1931 in flesh. I thought that JLC had also released a new ATMOS, but I might be wron. Best, karmin

I didn't have much time to prepare a better post, but we'll come back to each of these novelties, and believe me, there are some pearls to discover, here. As for the Atmos, you're correc,t there is a new one which is very appealing. Best, K. Nicolas.

And hope all is well. Love the American Deep Sea as well as the Lady Reverso Ultra Thin--the latter's stunning dial realldy does it for me. Jason

I would say that the most important thing is that JLC managed to release some exciting but affordable watches, such as theTT 1931. Will come back to these pieces soon. Best, Nicolas.

The Home Pages of JLC are giving some "funny" information like the Enamel Reverso in SS or the Ladies Ultra Thin in White Gold high jewelry version... Do you have any additional information? Best, Kari

NO white metal for the Reverso enamel, nor white gold for the Lady UT. 100% sure about that. Sadly, because, like you, I would have loved to see the Reverso enamel in white metal. One day, maybe? It was great to meet you there! Best, Nicolas.

Anyhow, the home pages of JLC under 2011 Collection tell that Reverso Email is made in steel and RG, references Q3738422 (180 pieces) and Q3732422 (80 pieces). Anyhow, other forums tell that 180 pieces are in steel and 89 pieces in Red Gold. True, this do...

Of course you return with some tantalizing pieces of information. A NEW Navy SEALs Chrono?!?!?! An all new Master Chronograph in ceramic -- I must hear more about this one!!!! Yes, I wish for a white metal enamel dial Reverso, and I also thought from the ... 

Yes, this is another exciting year from the Grande Maison. Dressy, complicated, highly complicated, nostalgic, sporty, I think that they covered everybody's taste. Don't worry, I took some pics of the watches you mentionned, and we'll speak very soon abou... 

On the MJLC website it is written that the Reverso Email will be available in 2 limited editions, 180 SS and 80 PG. Is this a typo on their part? Will comment more on the novelties later. Best, Richard

But who knows? Maybe JLC will release, next year, a white metal version of this superb watch? Best, Nicolas.

Nicolas, Thanks for the flash update - I would love to get my hands on the ceramic Master Chronograph, even though I haven't even seen it. And the new version of the Master Geographic is to die for - this one is REALLY gone pull my heartstrings. Alas, I d... 

To say it better, a tendance which started last year, and which goes on this year: Smaller watches when it comes to dressy watches, and reasonnably priced. Which are 2 important points, indeed. The new Master Géo? A superb one. It looks like the old ... 

I love the tribute to Deep Sea Alarm the most... The first 3 reversos are extremely nice, but sadly I still don't see myself wearing such a small watch... Thanks for the quick report Nicolas! Looking forward to see the live pics of the novelties... Best, ... 

And some of them, who, like you, are used to wear big watches. Not only they loved the bTT 31 in SS, but they ... ordered it, at their big surprise, because, like you, they thought that it may be too small. The only advice I can give you is to try it, you... 

I really love the clean looking art deco dial... Do you know when they will be released for sale? Best, Sam

impressive year yet. There are a number of pieces which are priced for humans and VERY appealing. I've added the Master Moon, Master Geographic and DSA to my wish list and I haven't even seen the ceramic or black dial chronographs yet. Tough choices lie a...

Welcome back, Nicolas & enjoyable first impressions ! Quite stunning the Minute Repeater & Gyro II RG.. But the TRIBUTES - you know my/ many people's "sweet falling" . - no wonder; "Need no say no more".. Thus, decisions made, done - again, thanks to you ... 

I too know which watches I will get, if I can afford them... Some nice gold dreams, too. You'll have some surprises, I just have to work on the packaging. Best, Nicolas

Thks fr the report. Do you have the MSRPs of the reversos? Best, Horo

Great review Nico, I'm glad hear your're well! You have mentioned a new NS Chrono. do you have more information about ti? Cheers, Fernando

I have to work on the pics I took, and to prepare something I will soon post about this one. Thanks for your patience, but these last days were a bit busy, for me. Best, Nicolas.

Don't worry Nicolas, take your time, enough for me to know that you have them and we'll see them soon Cheers, Fernando

Nice reveiw and I agree the tributes are magnificent. Best regards, George

Now you are scaring me, what is a man to do if JLC has more suprises reserved to us. Is this something my banker should be affraid of? Regards, George

at this difficult time for you. The Reverso 1931 tribute is very hard to resist. Regards, Richard.

When the pleasure is here, don't miss it. That is my latest philosophy. Best, Nicolas.

but I have to choose the right one. That Master Ultra Thin Moon also looks inviting. Regards, Richard.

will order........Not easy to guess though....... I am dreaming already.... Mo

The master compressor geographique ? Best Tyler This message has been edited by T.Bean on 2011-01-20 16:33:24

not that one..... Mo

No message body

will be the right one......but I don t know if I will answer........1 more week and I ll decide... Mo

If this is the case, I'm sure you'll fall for it. Best, Nicolas.

already fallen...... Mo

Just the beginning of this week I got the news from JLC Boutique that Paris alone place 80 order, US 20 and Asia only 1! What's going on with my fellow Asians? By now I think more than half or near the whole lot is gone. Fellow purist you gotta move quick... 

Much more than this, and not only on the US DSA, but on both. Sure they will sell fast, and I'm very happy to see that these pieces received such a warm welcome. As for a good number, try : 59 ( the birth of the watch ), 62 ( the end of the production ), ... 

To remind me the person who introduce this watch to me, causing the commonly known "ramen diet period" so that I earn my right to own this piece. Here is me returning the favor. Best Tyler This message has been edited by T.Bean on 2011-01-21 03:01:09...

I hope that all is well with you. Did I hear a Master Chrono in Black? Hope that it is a regular verison. A truly fabulous lineup from MJLC, I would really look forward to see this black dial Master Chrono, along with the awesome black dial Quantième Luna... 

The Master Chrono comes with a black dial, this year, and it is not a LE. I will post some pics asap. Best, Goh. Nicolas.

Looking forward to your pictures. Best, Goh

And glad to see you posting! Looking forward to your detailed reports!

...hi Nico, i saw there is Ultra Thin Moon 39 in JLC website? any info e.g. price, when will it be released etc? this will be one of my targets too best to my friend! stefan

But I will ask. The case is awesome. I wish we see it in more watches, in a close future! Best. Nicolas.

Thanks for the work, Nicolas. Can't wait to see the Master Chronograph in black.

it appears to be the "quietest" year in a decade - not much in the way of "Live" photos on ANY website. What you didn't mention is the piece that has me MOST interested - the MUT Moon 39. The mention of a new QP is interesting, but I'm wondering why JLC h... 

And this is not because I don't like it! As for the " quite place ", I normally should have been able to faster post more pics and texts about the new releases, this year, but some unexpected issues drove me to adopt a slower rythm, sadly. Don't worry, yo... 

Finally is here.... again... someone is listening indeed :0) Although still shaken because of theft I'm very happy with complete line of Reverso for 2011 something for everyone Unlike you or dr.kol I adore Enamel Reverso...superb piece RG+enamel+Grande ca... 

I love the idea of the Reverso enamel, and I was part of the prayers to see this watch coming soon, so I'm happy to see it released this year. It has its charm in RG, definitely. But it would aslo have been DIVINE in white metal. Best, my friend. Nicolas.

those ultra thin reversos are very nice. Thanks for the report! Andreas

Even if I saw some very interesting watches here and there, I still think that JLC presented an amazing line up, which impressed me more than what I saw elsewhere. Best, Nicolas.

For the introduction! Looking forward to see the details of all the watches. So far the two DSA are still my favourites… Take care, my friend Best Blomman

Thanks Nic. cheers PAt

Spirit of the original models. BUT, there are much other things, which are not Tribute, and which are very interesting. Stay tuned. Best, Nicolas.

for some brands. For example, I must admit that Panerai releases a lot of fascinating watches this year. Probably one of the best years, IMO. The other superb example of a great year is JLC, for sure.... Nothing more to say about the fantastic work made i... 

The Tributes, but some others, too. In fact, too many tempting offers, this year. But I still think that too much is better than nothing. Thanks for your input, Hermano. Nicolas;
