Dear JLC fans I need some help. My son is turning 30 in a few months and I’m looking to buy him a JLC But biggest question is: what to buy for a young man with a budget between USD 10-14K He is a young business man, very much into sustainable corporate be... 

It’s a tribute to him turning 30. When his sister turned we bought her a gold cartier as they was her dream The Polaris might be an option. I don’t know the watch very well. Will investigate Thanks

Hi I belief I misunderstood you when you wrote “tribute”. I didn’t realize the watch you referred to is named “tribute to”. Comes to show I have a lot to learn my friend

Just found it and wow that’s indeed very nice. Thanks. I’ve just few years back got into watches and am still learning every day

When I read business and first JLC, that what comes to my mind. Reverso-wise, there are some amazing models for all prices, from classy simple to classy complicated. Memovox is simple but so JLC. Keep us updated on your choice! Best, É.

So different from a round watch, with the bonus that he can always flip it back and forth while at those boring mgmt meeting. (In fact I think I’ll go put mine on right now.) Cheers, Cazalea ...

In SS, a perfect dresswatch for meeting clients and dresses down for everyday wear. I have mine on a deployant clasp, which I like. Chip in extra and get rg for a special look.

If it is a watch for business/dress the Reverso tribute Night Day moon 2017 is one of my favourites or the Original version posted here earlier by another member , ref 273.8.85 if i am not msitaken. JLC has many versions with different ref nrs.. there is ...  

Thanks for your kind words. Long time ago we decided to give our kids a more serious watch once they graduated from collage, once they pass 30 and once they land their first job. Then we gave them one “in between” which was related to an unexpected yet ch... 

Reverso Tribute Night Day Moon would be perfect and versatile for all events. It is totally different and nicely complete his collections. However if you want to give something which is his style yet different, I suggest JLC Polaris Chronograph or even mo...  

It is perfect for business as well as evening events. Master Ultra Thin Perpetual (Stainless Steel) is a very elegant yet firm watch. I prefer the black noble power but silver boutique edition is also rich gorgeous ...

Hi dad!!

Ha must admit I had a smile while reading your reply with hi dad. But yes indeed the budget is approx that range as that’s about what we paid for my daughters Cartier. Plus our daughter in law will be the next one as she’s 28 now and has her first watch (... 

I thought Rolex had the best credentials in philanthropy? Velociphile

Reason why JLC not Rolex is that he finds a Rolex a bit too loud The alternative would be Vacheron 56 Im more impressed with the reverso M’Sharie than I thought I would be.

Vacheron 56.... base model would be a definite no. Not Geneva-seal, clearly more poorly finished and with obvious unused jewel - once seen , always noticed. A super low water mark for the brand as you will know Mr 1921. Re Reverso, I tend to agree with Ge... 

Or perhaps a white gold Day Date? Probably the most sustainable product you can give him. In every aspect. If it needs to be dressy: please go for a ALS 1815. Because every single (Indie) master watchmaker I asked the question Patek or Lange has answered ... 

I know from personal experience it is hard to always know what someone else would like the most when it comes to expensive gifts - I've missed the mark a couple times. $10K to $14K is a nice sum of money. I would get your son's input into what he would li... 

I wanted to give my wife a Cartier as a wedding present, so I took her to Wempe so she could see it. Turns out she wasn’t so interested it what I had planned. The sales person suggested some Rolex watches for her to try. I thought he was completely off tr... 

As a watch to be worn every day for business I am warming to the Geophysic True Second. It is a good-sized handsome watch, the dead-beat second feature is horologically interesting, and the ability to adjust the date and hour both forward and backwards wi... 

Triple calendar. JLC has been making these since the 1940s. It was a classic style/type of watch manufactured by many companies back then—very much an “every man’s” business watch—that ultimately fell out of favour with the public post World War II along ... 

My dear friends, all your opinions and suggestions are great and many thanks for that My son and I have already been scouting the market a bit and we both stumbled upon JLC a brand we weren’t very familiar with Going shopping together and collecting the w...
