4 modern JLCs, 4 different styles, 4 different shades of Grey... 1/ Ruthenium Guilloch: 2/ Ruthenium Smooth: 3/ Ruthenium " Sector dial ": 4/ Ruthenium " Open dial ": I didn't pay attention to that detail before, but it seems that I have a big love affai...
Cool!

What a hommage , this Fab Four !.. These 4 classic beauties.. But for humble me,,
By: hs111 : May 16th, 2013-04:52
I keep it simple, somehow: 1/ don't have one of them, but adore them all, especially 2 of the four 2/ my favourite is the Septantieme - grey but sooo beautiful, in all aspects a feast for the senses, IMHO It comes near to the perfect Reverso for humble, "...
What? You prefer the Septantieme to the MMR???
By: amanico : May 16th, 2013-13:31
Wow, my friend! What a surprising choice! But you know that I love surprises and different opinions. Thanks for your input, my dear friend. All the best from Dr Mamadu. ;)
I would maybe rather say.. A very close call.. Or a honorable tie :)

I mean, the Ti MMR is somewhat in a class of its own ! - but otherwise, Yes - I love the sight and feel of the 70ieme; Maybe that's like with Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca, Or Messi and Ronaldo -- choices can be difficult, but differences mean having ch...
I love these themes...

JLC... ...ruthenium dials... ...and a tribute to Jerome Lambert who oversaw teh creation of all of these marvelous watches. Best regards, respo
Very nice and well deserved homage ...

The Septantieme is to die for. Mr. Jerome Lambert did great things for JLC. I'm expecting what he will do on his next kingdom. Cheers, Nilo
Well deserved hommage, but...

Dear Nicolas, I don't know if your post was truly focused on grey dials, since I've perceived a certain nostalgia... Anyhow, I have to say that me too I love dark-grey-dialed-watches: I often find them intriguing. Moreover, the use of dark grey shades are...
There is always a lot of nostalgia to see a friend leaving.

But there is also a big satisfaction to see such a brand offering such a diversity of watches. To answer on your observation of the catalog, I agree with you that all the watches featuring in them are not and cannot be of everybody's taste. Some will pref...
Pure and Powerful a great combination
By: Bill : May 16th, 2013-12:43
That selection you have shown us has a lot of depth and balance. Jerome was a good steward for the brand and we wish him the best in the future. Best Bill
It is a very lovely watch...
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2013-10:08
.....the grey sets it apart, but I love that night & day feature. A feature one never needs, but is just great to look at on a watch. Its a bit like a moonphase....i never really need to know the moonphase, but its great to look at on a watch.
You know how I adore that Septantieme
By: MichaelC : May 17th, 2013-08:56
My favorite Reverso. And you also know grey is my favorite color for watches (with a little lust for blue, too). 4 beauties. We're going to miss JL...

The 1/ Ruthenium Guilloché is cool! -MW
Interesting bond between otherwise very different watches
By: nikolaj : May 17th, 2013-23:26
A very cool foursome you display there Nico! Makes me think that these four beauties actually constitute a perfect "mini" collection in themselves. Great diversity in form and function but with superb coherence in aesthetics and heritage. My personal favo...
Yes, this is a small collecton in itself. Agreed.
By: amanico : May 17th, 2013-23:40
As for the dial of the amvox I, compared to the 3 others, this is the one which changes the most, depending of the light. Will have to show it to you in the real... Soon? Best, and thanks for your input, my friend. Nicolas

That will be hard to beat, indeed.
By: amanico : May 19th, 2013-14:15
In terms of diversity. Now, JLC can go deeper in the true values of watches, mainly in terms of finish, on some of them. We'll see... Best, my friend. Nicolas
With a lineup like this...

I would also be in a grey mood...! :) Stunning collection, my friend! Best Blomman
Thanks, my friend.

Will post some pics of two of them; which come with some special papers... Best, Nicolas.
