Nico,
Well, you know I've been eagerly anticipating finding out what JLC had up its sleeve.
Thank you for a comprehensive introduction! This is a very interesting development.
I'll admit I'm not sure about whether the ticking seconds complication appeals to me.
As regards the simple watch, the date window has been reasonably well integrated but I'm just not a fan of date windows; and the additional dial text is (to my eyes) the easy way out - I'd rather see less rather than more text on the dial.
Now, the worldtimer: at first glance this is very very very attractive. Three things:
1. I'm not convinced by the technical approach which has the cities always in the same place, so you don't know where the reference time is;
2. I would have to try on the case, with the heavy lugs, to see if it works on my wrist; and
3. The price premium of some 5k Euros - another 50%, basically, over the simple watch - seems just the tiniest bit excessive. (By which I mean it's waaaayyyy too much more.)
Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to trying it later this week at W&W in HK and seeing how it is in the metal.
Best
E.
