Jaeger-LeCoultre

as the years went by, the prices began to rise which did not help the demand either. Still a highly underappreciated and undervalued model amongst current chronographs in terms of originality and design architecture 😉

living in Paris, we both have the JLC flagship store and the Patek "salon". I dress casually and I can tell you that the JLC people have always been very very professional, being for a clasp, an engraving or a "standard-price" watch. Giving me calls whene... 

as for the Patek salon, I must say they have mostly been gracious to me except for one bad incident that was rectified. But I will also say that I have seen others being treated less graciously in the Patek boutique whereas I have never seen that in the J...

The Duometres, Extreme Labs, and Gyros all offered novel or sophisticated horological content, and were very appropriately offered at a higher price point than JLC's more "plebeian" Master, Reverso, and Rondez-Vous lines. On the other hand, what the brand... 

which is that innovation and design is still appreciated to a certain extent, just not from established houses such as AP, JLC, Patek, Rolex, etc... Just look at the Independents such as MB&F, DeBethune, etc...Yes they are niche but most if not all seem t... 

That said, given the cost of things like De Bethune, MB & F, Voutilainen, etc., one might argue that the Swiss mid-market segment on the whole has abandoned any degree of daring as far as design is concerned - especially in comparison to the market of a c... 

and Bvlgari has been coming out with a few interesting pieces recently as well. All of these are well under 50k. Omega seems to also be moving forward with tech in material and construction, at least much more than Rolex or the like. Let's just hope JLC h... 

though even there, the Octo Finissimo range arguably represents the refinement of design language established by (and purchased with) Genta over a decade ago. You're very right to point out that technically, Omega continues to advance its offerings, while... 

Omega has great tech now, a great leap from the ETA ebauche days. Bulgari too. I hope JLC gets hoisted from Richmond and also Madame Manure soon

Yes yes yes...there is a void now, as if they are telling us in a typical lazy European style, we want to work less and get pissed drunk after work now, no more innovations!

The brand has lost it’s footing. It is an old master who has gone blind, and lost his walking stick, trying to find his way around a dark big castle. Has gone deaf too.

Less madness and more refinement in case finish and style. I thought over it a while. The new polaris is exquisitely finished. While some may say it is not a true dive watch, it is not meant to be, but a tribute to an old style. I find myself thinking abo... 

I can’t wait for new polaris models. If there is one with a proper screw down crown - count me in!

I find the Memovox Timer an ingenious watch. The Alarm and Timer functions are essentially one and the same. But I think the price level of the watch will be a challenge given current situation. Not sure who are they aiming it at?

Bravo to the team.

I don’t suspect it will be the Rattrapante first up.

the new memovox is nice, bit too expensive

First, the watches on their own are very nice: well done,good quality and all in all honest higher horology level. But then I saw the asking price and it left me speechless. I have almost never seen a price tag so less in correlation to the horological co... 

It's not a revolution but the thinner case (3mm) compared to the 2010 generation memovox (and boutique edition from 2016) is something I look forward to. For a watch with a complication that is "visible", I think the transparent caseback is an interesting... 

Especially the Timer! Sound and alarm-function is great, love the look of the Memovox Timer, but I personally guess that IRL...I would finally pick up the new Master Control Calendar (ref 4148420) as my number one choice as of now. The future...no one kno... 

Still love that E 855!

The only advantage was the speed and the scheduling and the Dom Pérignon ! ohh and the little gifts they gave you every time ;-)

😂😂

Nicolas you've seen better but that's a new line here 😅 ...  

Perfect case shape and size, wonderful patina, and a perfectly matching ostrich honey strap. I would prefer it than the new ones Thanks for sharing. René

Or maybe a smaller, Purists version? Mmm...

I don't like the middle matte silver business I just don't like the dial at all... I love the new annual Chrono tho!
