Truly Hits Hard- Awesome

Nicolas,

This watch has a deep visceral impact and exudes charisma. Often, I wonder why JLC - past and present - reserves dark dials for more occasional use than other watchmakers. The effect is startling when they choose to unleash a black beauty...

All has been said, and I can only express my pleasure in seeing this piece. Did you manage to get glimpse of it in low light, and if so, did the radium dial retain any luminescence?

Best,

Tim

"Sharp" is the word I would use to describe this one....

It seems to have retained all of its lines over the years, and has aged quite gracefully. Wonderful example. Darren

I agree about the black dials. So high impact.

Master 8 days in black haunted me for years. Maybe one day I'll get one. Meanwhile, I have my eye on another JLC black dial...

Ah yes? Which one? [nt]

Have to keep quiet about it. Don't want to jinx it. [nt]

But I think you can figure it out, Nicolas, from a message I sent a while back. Or at least narrow it down...

As often, with Radium, it takes some time before the indexes glimpse.

I agree with you, I would like to see more black dials, andv more often. As for your triple calendar, I must say that I fell in love with all the pièces of the " Black Series ". Truly amazing! Best, Tim. Nicolas.
