JLC did so much for and with VC,  they can do it for themselves now!  smile

That's certainly just the beginning of a new kind of JLC watch.

You've possibly noticed that I've been really appealed by the new Grande Reverso at the just finished SIHH. In fact another "Grande" appealed to me (I could add that many other "grandes" appealed to me and Nicolas during this SIHH, but that's not the subj...

of the movement and face details--bravo! It is also interesting to finally see the diamond coated silicium parts go into the watch movements. There must have been a long time to test these new parts in the integration of the movement and make sure the lif... 

Thank you Tim (the other Tim)

Hi Tim, That's a watch you should put on your wrist someday. As you're a specialist of silicium, are you really expecting these advances to become the norm? Couldn't it be a cheap advance once largely implemented? Cheers Dje

Superb post, Jerome

Like you, I was impatiently waiting to see the New Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon in the flesh. I love a lot the new case, which has elegant proportions, nice lugs, and very good proportions. The use of some of the technical solutions of the Extrem La...

Wonderful report!

JLC is on a roll, nice to see they are in the business of making a nice watch first, not a trendy toy with expensive parts.

Thanks for the report Jerome

Ths Grande Tradition is one collection I want to spend more time with, to properly examine the movement. - SJX

It caught my eye straight away,

I look forward to have the chance to see it live.Great report Dje I really love this watch ,straight in the wish list.Agree with Nicolas,the Pt version is the best.Any idea on delivery time and rough price range?

Range price

 
 By: amanico : February 8th, 2009-03:58
89 000 Euros for the YG version, and 101 000 for the Platinum, if I remember well... Best. Nicolas.

Thanks Nicolas
