Jaeger-LeCoultre

After waiting all year to see this model in person, I recently purchased a JLC Master Control Chronograph Calendar. I really like the looks and features of the watch. It reminds me of vintage triple date calendar watches from the 50's. Unfortunately, afte...  

Very very helpful post, and sorry to hear about your troubles. I’m becoming more and more skeptical of internal QC certifications (like the 1000 hour of JLC or superlative chronometer of Rolex), especially when compared to companies that go the extra mile... 

My METAS tested Omega is not accurate anymore. Not that it runs bad, my Omega is still between the METAS tolerances. When winding the crown, it have a resistance i do not mentioned when i had the watch 5 months ago. The idea that a watch can be serviced i... 

Thank you. I hope JLC can resolve the issues with the new caliber 759, because it's a beautiful watch. Maybe down the road it will be ready for another look.

This is the 4th time going back to service for the Duometre and 2nd time for the EL2. Neither watch had issues with the chrono before I sent them in. On return they both worked fine for a day or two, long enough to check them at the boutique and confirm f... 

So I'm not inclined to believe there is an issue with the movement design or architecture but in the assembly and qc. It's good to hear the AD is taking care of things, but JLC really needs to step up to make sure they deliver you a working watch. Only th... 

Perhaps the 1000 hours is more just on the accuracy of the time piece, complications are somehow overlooked. I hope it will be resolved to your satisfaction soon.

Either way, this sucks, to get a watch and have it not work properly, I hope it gets sorted out.

It happens that I’ve been eyeing this watch for possible purchase, I now reconsider

My AD had one in and I almost pulled the trigger a couple of weeks ago. Ultimately I decided against it as I am liking greater simplicity in my watches. Ive owned about 10 chronographs and never used that function. I hope it gets worked out as it is gorge... 

I have been connecting with owners of this watch offline and happy to share what we know.

Sorry to learn about this bad experience. My «old» Gran’Sport Chronographie runs perfect, but not the same dial of course. However I am also very happy with my Zenith 410 LE - same face... ...  

In my case, it happens only occasionally. Perhaps 1 out of every 4 times I stop the chronograph, the running seconds will jump 1-2 seconds, and pause before continuing. Trying to get a video or two. I have not contacted my AD yet as it is very sporadic. S... 

Happens shortly after the running seconds passes 50... www.dropbox.com

I saw a jump forward ranging from 0-5 seconds. The amount of the jump seemed to be related to where the chronograph was stopped. After about 15-20 seconds, i saw a large jump.
