Like you, I prefer the more modernistic sleek skeleton bridges of the previous QP skeleton, but I really like the subdials here much more then the "clear dial with paddle to indicate" of the previous... The retro font for the subdials is a nice touch as well
too hard to decide...

The open dial is beautiful but I think the blue enamel borders are too wide especially on a flat surface. I wonder if it is a bit better in person? -MW
A few thoughts on this beautiful watch...

First of all,the inspiration,even if far away from the original pocket watch,is clear. I like this new 8daysQP for several reasons: 1)THE CASE,well the MGT case is superior to the master case I think,in many respects,most of all its proportions. This is t...
Agreed on all points.

This is the kind of Watch which would better deserve: 1/ A limited ( and short ) production. 2/ A limited and shorter edition. 50 pièces, or 75 would have been better. It is an exclusive piece, which needs some... Exclusivity. JLC HAS to think it this way...

... the more expensive JLC models (that is to say, beyond my price level). There is hardly a thing I would change on this watch if given the opportunity to. The only way to further improve the aesthetics, in my small opinion, is to remove the white logo s...
And the in the real experience speaks louder, my friend.

I never think " affordability "... But Pleasure, and this one gives a lot! Now, I will have to focus on your observation about the white logo. Will come back to you, on that matter. Best! Nicolas
I agree with Marcus....

I DO think this is the best QP Skeleton JLC has EVER done! I like everything, including the blue enamel border (which helps it attain the extra 2mm over the non-skeletonized 40mm version). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE JLC's back of this watch, choosing to make the ...
The blue enamel ring is very smart.

It helps to compensate the difference of size between the movement and the bigger case... Very well done. As for the 8 Days movements, like you I am a big fan. A pity there are no recent Reversos with this movement, but you can also hunt an older one! Bes...
about the movement...

Nicolas, Thank you as always for the detailed report & the photos. Have a question as to the movement - both are written as Cal 876 SQ - are they both exactly identical top each other? Maybe I got this wrong, but my recollection was that the sapphire ...
thank you
By: didwlgh : March 3rd, 2014-12:47
for the response. then just to clarify, then even in the former "modern" skeleton version, sapphhire discs stay still and hands jump instead for all subdials?

By: didwlgh : March 3rd, 2014-13:40
so a slight variation then, even though they share the same Cal #. cheers to JLC for making all those heavy discs turn at the same time!
It is a stunning watch!

You can't go wrong with any of these two.
By: amanico : March 3rd, 2014-22:16
The big difference, in my opinion, is the case. The MGT one is much more appealing,, to me. Best, Aaron, and thanks for your input. Nicolas
