(Tim Lake, CEO Jerome Lambert & Lawrence Cohen, One of us jokingly asked Jerome to comment on another site being "THE OFFICIAL HOME" of JLC. The master statesman Jerome replied a few points (1) He visited ThePuristS at least once every week and read every thread in the JLC forum (2) He is very happy with the 2 years of what he termed as JLC's "partnership" with ThePuristS (3) He cannot be the policeman of the internet site and can't ensure every announcement is true or correct and (4) He urged all of us to read carefully and find out which site gave more insight to JLC and their products. We were more than satisfied with his answer - Anyway, as far as I am concern, I am more interested to discuss about watches and hope more people are doing so, either in ThePuristS or in any other forum)
