It is not in JLC plans right now... Best, Nicolas
If you want a nice 8-days JLC...
... you need to consider the Master 8 days perpetual or the Reversos with the 8 day movement. All these are stunning in my eyes, with different level of complexity depending on how you like your dials (Grande date, moon, reserve, petite second,etc.). A 8 ...
