While spending a lot of time in the JLC catalogues from the past years, I was amazed by the quantity and the diversity of the models, variations, and complications JLC offered or still offers. Then I had the idea to make a selection of the 10 nicest or mo...  

And i for one am glad to see the AMVOX 2 on your list. I cant quite understand how such a subtle, innovative and stunning watch is still being overlooked these days.

Well, Nicolas, that comes as a surprise to me! I will have to sleep one night before I provide my list. Cheers Christian

Was sure you will write this! LOL Of course, instead of a 70eme or a Reverso Tourbi skeleton, you might add one of the 6 Reverso LE in Rose gold... But I'd have to create a top 12 instead of a top ten... I already have in my selection 2 Reversos... A matt... 

My very personal list of the 10 nicest / more representative watches by JLC (in alphabetical order): · Chronometre Geophysic – for its fabulous P478/BWS/br handwound movement (I wish JLC had made use of fully adjusted movements with swan neck regulators m... 

What about the beloved Futrematic? Instead of the PC and any watch with caliber 101 instead of the 70er...lol And the Tryptique over the reverso skeletal,,,, Now I can live in peace with your list! Asi

The "Tavanne" original Reverso. The Reverso Geographique, Reverso Perpetual, Reverso Tourbillion, Reverso Chronograph, Reverso Art Deco

I guess it's somehwat natural to pick a lot of big dollar and highly complicated pieces for your list as this is the expression of the "art" of watchmaking. Personally I would not have as many of these complicated or expensive watches in my list. For me J...

1. Gyrotourbillon- this expression of technological tour de force by a major manufacturer is too often overlooked. The combination of all the complications present plus the design genius of Megalli M makes this a clear pole winner in my list. As such, pie... 

Hi folks, Of the ten,i would like to show my support on the Moderator and Rob's voye on Amvox ll.You dont own one and you just would not understand. believe me guys,the vertical clutch chrono movement aside,look at how brilliant this fellows built the cag...

You'll have to explain to me what are the special Reversos..." mucha Blonde and Brune "...LOL! I too was quite surprised to put in this top ten list a pcket watch, and a clocxk, as I never thought of these 2 before... But if you go into the JLC past, I th... 

I'm pretty sure I saw Mucha's portrets of so called Blonde and Brune in Enamel on Reverso face ... or and this is also possibility I was dreaming that I should order two of these ... regarding Art Nouveau my favourite period and Reverso one of most iconic... 

These one? And specially for you, I open a bit more the window...But Hey, we are on a public and well renommed web site, so I can't do more...LOL OK, ok, a bit more open... Well, Heeeerm, no I can't! LOL Best. Nicolas...  

..... great blond and brune ..... but these Reversos had portrets which I'm sending you right now via PM if you have pics of these ..... well what can I say ...... Best Damian

Reverso Tourbillon -- have to start here; Reverso is the trademark, and this was the best of the comeback kids IMHO. a 101 special, but not BUBAR -- amazing achievement, good enough for the Queen. Master Ultra Thin -- best of breed, and part of the DNA; t... 

This is such a limiting number, but here you go.... (these are NOT in order, but are my favorites) 1. Reverso Art Deco in rose gold on JLC "glossy gold" croc (far and away, this IS #1 for me! The rest are random) 2. Gentilhomme Auto w/date at 6 o'clock on... 

That's what I call a "connoisseur " selection. Of course all these models deserve to figure in any intelligent selection, and can't agree more with you. The fine thing with JLC is that you can always find a nice watch from the affordable price range till ...

Hi, I would select: 1°) A pocket watch tourbillon with calibre 170: it's pure horological beauty! 2°) A Reverso pink gold Tourbillon: it has been 15 years since I want one so.... 3°) A Master Ultra Thin, either in steel, pink or white gold, with silver, g... 

Above - great selections all. I am glad that Dean added EWC (in rubber) to his list. The combination of complications, shock absorber system, the calibre 752 with its vertical clutch, fast strap change feature, water resistance, long 72-hour power reserve... 

Yes, seems that JLC has to be known as a Chronograph specialist, now... It's funny, I spoke of that with someone involved in the reasearch and development for JLC, and he told me something that was a great surprise for me...He toild me that the chronos we... 

Although I have always heard that the chrono is among the most challenging complications for watch manufacturers, I did not realize it was more difficult than the perpetual. I wonder why prices generally undermine this conclusion. respo
