We share similar passions...
We both love chocolate and wristwatches to distraction...
I'm currently savoring this new chocolate. I first came into contact with this particular confectionaire when I was in Japan. I had one of their macaroons, but I couldn't remember which department store I had purchased it from. Thankfully, the concierge at my hotel was able to locate a point of sale that sold this particular brand of delicious goodies.
This tiny box was purchased for me by a family member during a recent visit to Paris.
Ummm, I dont have a picture of the contents...
Here are some Fauchon macaroons that have already been consumed... Delicious!
Killing time at the Beverly Hills Boutique
I have largely been trapped at home these past few weeks due to the arrival of a new, little (Teething!!!) puppy to my household, but I made some time this past Saturday to meet an old friend for lunch (to which he wore an interesting vintage Russian watc...
You're very welcome!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I always recommend that JLC fans check out their local boutiques. There's always tons to see and appreciate there. Cheers, Daos
Great photos and report Daos. I particularly like
the understated design of the white gold hometime. I would love to see this same color combination in the Master Grande Ultra Thin. I think that would be very attractive and popular.
That would be a great version of the MGUT!
It took me a moment to warm up to the MGUT -- mostly because there is so much to love from JLC, that I overlooked it, but I have to say I checked it out at length a few months ago and loved the way it looked on my wrist! Thanks for reading! Cheers, Daos
Yay! More goodies from the BH Boutique!
Thanks for sharing your latest visit. Daos. I really like your profile of the Hometime. I had not noticed the details of the 24-hour subdial before, and I really like how that was handled with the contrasting patterns. That WG with the dove gray dial is r...
The Hometime is...
...a pretty watch, and a model that deserves to be held and seen in person to be appreciated. I think the dial JLC chose for the white gold Boutique Edition Hometime is stunning! It really captures light so well. The rose gold is equally stunning (I alway...
I have a Chocolate
...Labrador, I mean. He is just over a year old. They are the best if you can only direct their incredible need to chew toward appropriate chew toys, as your photo illustrates. That is an adorable pup. Best of luck on your new adventure. It wil be even be...
Yes, he is one of the few things...
...better than watches! LOL! Now we'll both be banned! He is teething and biting everything, which is trying, but with a little patience and correction I think it will be okay. Thanks for your nice words! Cheers, Daos
Thanks
Thanks for the visit report. I love the white-gold home time. I am also very appreciative of the pictures of the straps. I was just speaking to Seth on Saturday concerning custom straps - it is great to see some pictures. I have decided in getting a rubbe...
Love the MC GMT!
That watch has been on my list of possible purchases for awhile. It will look great on a rubber strap IMO. Of course, it dresses up nicely too. I would love to see it on a black gator with double red stitching! Seth is the man when it comes to JLC custom ...
wonderful puppy
What an adorable Lab - we have an English black lab ourselves (plus an English Mastiff and a golden-doodle). I'll make sure to post some pictures of the MC GMT with the rubber strap. Can't wait to make a visit to the boutique myself, perhaps we'll be able...
Wow!
English Mastiffs are great, and HUGE! My neighbors have two mastiffs. Initially I thought they were both Bullmastiffs, but one looks like a Dogue de Bordeaux ("Hooch" dog from the movie "Turner and Hooch"). I love giant dogs but could never fit a mastiff ...
out of town, but I'll post some soon
Daos, Our lab was born in the Netherlands, but the sire was a champion from England, so perhaps our dogs are related. I'll get a photo of all three on the 'timeout' section this weekend after returning home. --Sancerre
Cool! Looking forward to seeing your babies!
Maybe our dogs are related! My dog's grandfather was the 2000 Westminster Kennel Club Champion, Ch. Lenches Teddybear. His 3-generation pedigree includes champions from famous American kennel, Dickendall, and Sandylands -- one of England's greatest Labrad...
Thank Daos
Hi Daos, I've been on severe diet for two weeks now so your box is really killing me! I love that black crocodile strap! Cheers Dje
Well, at least the pictures are calorie-free!
I should go on a diet, but I just like food too much! Thanks for reading my post! Cheers, Daos
Killed me with that one!
Haven't seen much of this (new) Master Hometime and especially in the boutique versions. Indeed a very nice watch with not only a nice, but for what I've read also a sturdy and reliable movement. What a way to spend some time. Grey market is allright, AD ...
The white gold Hometime...
...is so sweet, Starman! The Boutique is a fun place to hang out for sure! The team at JLC Beverly Hills make all the difference IMO. Hope you have a chance to check out the Hometime more extensively in the metal. Cheers, Daos
The dove gray dial is absolutely fantastic!
Thank you for such a nice photographic report, I love the gray dial on the white gold edition of the Master Hometime and the custom gray strap looks extraordinary also! Best, Filip
What is it about gray dials?
I love gray-dialed watches. This year's offerings from VC, for example, were tantalizing. So, it's no surprise that I love the white gold Boutique Edition Hometime! You should check out the straps at JLC BH -- they are gorgeous! Cheers, Daos
I will indeed...
make a visit as soon as I find the adequate moment to stop by the boutique, even though I live in West LA I rarely travel through that particular area. I have to say that for me gray is the color of choice, I really connect with it immediately, especially...
Oh the Calendar is nice too!
I like that watch a lot! It's very festive with the colors of the day indicator and blued hands in the subdial and power reserve. Cheers! Daos
A great way to spend an afternoon ...
Thanks for the tour or these JLC goodies. Daos. You are quite right about the grey dialed Master Hometime; very nice. I wonder what the grey strap would look like? Does anyone know where JLC source their OEM straps? Would it be from the one manufacturer? ...
Boutique lighting everywhere...
...seems particularly harsh to me. All those little spotlights! I'm not 100% sure where JLC sources their straps, but like you I have my suspicions. Gray is one of my favorite colors for watches (dials, straps, metals) so I was quite smitten by the white ...
Am I dreaming or do I see
A Reveros platinum tourbillon skeleton on the right of the chocolate box? Damn, Daos...There is a lot of nice stuff at the BH JLC Boutique! Best, Sister, and thanks for thev share. Say hello for me to Seth and My fav Belgian Girl! Best, Nicolas
You are not dreaming, Nicolas!
I should've known to take pictures of it for you! Next time, brother! I will be sure to say hello to our friends at JLC BH for you. You are not the first WIS to declare Stephanie your favorite Belgian girl! LOL! Cheers, Daos
I'm blushing easily, Daos...
Don't tell nothing to Stephanie! Well, it is another sign of Fate....This Reverso Platinum Tourbillon skeleton is waiting for me, I fear... My banker too, at the corner of my street. To me, it is simply the Number one of All the Reversos, a spectacular de...
You're welcome!
It was a fun day! I wish you could've been there with me to see all the timepieces in person! There's nothing better than the real thing! Cheers, Daos
BH boutique visit
Thanks Daos for sharing pics of your visit. It's always such a fun time visiting the JLC BH boutique, the staff is great and they have so many interesting things to see and drool over. Regards, ED-209
They are probably still mopping up my drool
I do enjoy visiting our friends at JLC BH. There are so many little treasures to enjoy there, and the whole place is welcoming and warm. We should take a field trip together soon! Cheers, Daos
That looks like a lot of fun!
Wow! Chocolates! Those look delicious! Just hard to say, are the watches more delicious, or are the chocolates more delicious. Chocolate, it should be treated like a controlled substance and not sold over the counter. In some cases, wristwatches should be...
Watches first; then chocolates!
These chocolates were tasty though! Not quite as tasty as a brand new JLC, but then very few things are. I love chocolate!!! Those JLC chocolates were just the right size to pop in your mouth for a snack! Cheers, Daos

Nice confections!
French macaroons are delicious! Great pictures! I'm jealous! Cheers, Daos
Thanks, Stefan!
They were very lovely! JLC is to be congratulated on their choices for the Boutique Edition Hometime! Hope you can see them somewhere near you! Cheers, Daos
Killing post Daos :0) + 1 question
would you be so kind and tell me what were exact pieces shown on your picture bellow thank you very much Sincerely Damian...
Hi, Damian!
I will ask. These may be demonstration casebacks simply to show off engraving options. Cheers, Daos
Further to your question, Damian...
...I have heard back from our friend, Seth, at JLC BH and he says the cases are just displays for the purpose of providing examples of the wonderful engraving/enameling techniques available to JLC customers, but after reviewing their catalogues the models...
