Jaeger-LeCoultre

At first sight, there are not many common points between these 2 watches:

The shape of the case, the complications, the movements... Essential points which are characteristic to each of these two.

But, in a certain way, without saying that they can be compared, they share some common points:

The platinum case, the nice guilloché dials, an interesting finish of the movements, and more than these details -or maybe because of these details- a certain spirit, made of perceptive quality, a return to the fundamentals, a look frankly inspired from the Past...

Yes, these 2 have soul!

Due to its smaller size, the PP is a jewel in its kind, while the bigger Septantieme offers more presence.

The size, in both case, has not to be seen as a problem.

No, the Patek is not too small, no, the Septantième is not too big, they both provide a lot of pleasure, in all distinction and elegance.

They play the same partition, but in a different way.

Here they are, side by side, recto and verso:





The movements show some details I appreciate a lot:

On the JLC, a superior finish, from what we're used to see, with a superb 8 Days manual movement receiving a swan neck.

On the Patek, a lovely micro rotor.. If all the automatic movements could be like this Cal 240!

So yes, these 2, from to dial to the backside, show, share two common points: Charm, and Beauty.

Not to say that the Septantieme is not nice, but my mind has been on the 5110 for ages. Love the micro rotor.

BUT the good thing is that ytou can't go wrong with any of them.

One has an iconic case, the other has an iconic complication.

about the aesthetics, the use and the movement.

Easy to see that you know what exactly you like in them and that made you chose them. I share this aim with you, choosing strong character watches with something different/more, that legitimates its place in watches' history.

Concerning the size issue, I've always been thinking that when dealing with such timepieces, size becomes a really minor creteria to look at.

Thanks for the thought Nicolas.

Yes, size is not really a problem with this kind of watches.

What does really matter is their character, soul, beauty, finish...

Best,

Nicolas

Without a doubt, two great watches from two great brands.
