JLC SIHH 2014: Skeleton, enamel, perpetual calendar: Teaser.
One I didn't show you... Just a teaser picture, to make you salivate. Promising, isn't it? Best, Nicolas...
Sorry Nicolas, this one doesn't make me salivate.....
these skeletons with the engravings, not for me. Thank you for the picture though;) Cheers my friend Francois from Down Under
Skeletons are hard to appreciate, indeed. Not everybody's taste.
Thanks for your feedback, François. Best, Nicolas
Agree with Francois here
This is probably one of the few JLC's that if you saw for the first time, you would not be able to guess it was a JLC. A bit too much of a feast for the eyes. No doubt this is a technical marvel, but I feel this one will not be on your wish list. Not your...
About the only skeleton I would gladly be wearing.....
has to be the Reverso Tourbillon Skeleton No2! This out of any Brand which comes to mind. Because the skeleton is minimalist, and looks very elegant with that purity and clarity of engineering. Which is very much my cup of camomille;) There is really only...
You guys need to see it live before comment….
I was on your side before last night. Mo
Hi Mo. Were you on my side? About what? It is true....
that I have formulated my comments on this watch without even having seen it live! I plead guilty to that. However, don't we all do that, on this Forum? Occasionally? So, which side did you prefer? my left side or my right side?:) Cheers and sorry to disa...
I agreed with you before I saw it live…usually I don t like too much baroque finish
but the live experience is just incredible. Of course we judge from pictures here,most of the times though the live experience changes our opinions…..for me at least. Mo
Ah! Thank you Mo, now I understand better, I was....
not quite sure about your meaning. Adesso e tutto molto piu chiaro! Cheers Francois from Down Under
I am a man of obsessions, my friend. My heart is already taken...
With a lot of Pretenders, yet... ;) Best, Nicolas
Skeleton QP
I'm not an engraved skeleton guy (like the one we saw in VC's collection too this year, very baroque), but it's a nice base they used for this iteration. If I'm not wrong it looks like this one, I like very much : Thanks for the news Nicolas, Cheers, Mark...
same movement…different finish...
I am still a big fan of the modern 8days QP squelette. Especially in Rg Mo
Me too Mo
Especially the skeletonized plate looking like a Mercator projection grid... A great QP. Cheers, Mark
Wow wow wow
Wow wow wow. Just wow. I am not a massive fan of enamel, but the limited and really tasteful use of it here is gorgeous.
You Devil…DEEEVIL
I just had a close encounter last night…….was about to post….but YOU always are in front.. i have a lot to say about this watch…unfortunately i do not have time now but …later.. here are a few i phone pics…. I have A LOT to say about it ,,,especially the ...
Surprise for surprise, I am quite surprised...
To see you coming with this one. I was quite sure you would show a certain Q.L.... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
Unfortunately a certain ql was not there....
But this QP definitely made up for it.... Another JLC year? Yes,,, for me at least 4 watches I would happily add to my collection. Mo
Now we are all in trouble Mo :)
Live pictures show new facet of this beautiful wrist watch reinterpretation of JLC cult pocket watch from 1928 Sincerely Damjan
I never use the acronym "OMG" but...
... OH EMM GEE. Freakin' incredible. Can't wait to see it in the metal. - Scott
Admiring - Yes .. Top craftmanship - yes.. Salivating - not me.. Sorry ;)
.. without being in the position to comment in detail, I have to confess, I never have been fond of skeletonized watches, and this one for humble me is no exception , despite all the elements of Haute Horlogerie present One thing also strikes me, which is...
I totally understand your position, my dear hs.
Skeletons are not everybody's taste. And you elaborated your reasons with eloquence, as always. Thanks for your input, my friend. Nicolas
wow, I'm in love
I'm always against any (manual) Perpetual Calendar but this one is an EXCEPTION .. please more picture & info .
With a 8 Days movement, you have quite a comfortable margin.
Will post, don't worry. ;) Best, Ahmed. Nicolas
I will need to hold two watches side by side
Up to now, if I wanted a perpetual skeleton, then in my opinion this is the best one made: The finishing is exquisite. Do you know the target price of the JLC? Is this an apples and oranges comparison? Well, side by side would be of great value for me. I ...
Not bad, Joe.
This JLC is bigger than the VC. I always liked this PC Skeleton from VC, by the way. As for the target price, I didn't even ask, but I will! Best, Nicolas
Around…..
90 95 € give or take….I might be wrong though. There is no comparison in my opinion,JLC all the way if it wash t for just one detail that doesn t convince me 100%. Mo
@#$@!^ @!!!$!! @#%#^ !!!!!@#$^ &^& &@# &(*( ^%^!!!!
That, my friend, is my reaction to this unexpected tease. Oh God, that is such a beautiful piece. Ruckdee
It took me a couple of hours to regain composure and resumed work :P
As you know, I don't scream every day or ever. This stunning piece warrants an unrestrained exclamation (at least for me). Ruckdee
You should have to warranty our keyboards Nicolas
Mine has drool all over it now, and it is not the first time!
re: the enamel blue dial color...
... i personally like this skeleton round case very much which echos very well with the skeleton reverso with the same blue dial. again, not disappointing jlc jans here again! stefan
