JLC honeymoon period…

… 5 years in the running and considering my current collection, I can’t find words to express how beautiful JLC watches are!

They might not hold their value well, not as easily recognizable to the general public, but there’s something about the brand and its history that drive me to appreciate and like their watches more and more each day.

EXACTLY the same story with me...
One of VERY FEW watches where the "honeymoon phase" just never ended..
Nearing 5 years of ownership.

Super nice triple calendar. The meteorite dial pieces are fairly rare and special. I've thought about getting the stainless steel version for a while.

I do have a few JLCs and they are all nice. That said, I think JLC has lost its way a bit recently. New releases are boring and no where near the JLC renaissance from the early 2000s to the mid 2000-teens. I hope they change that.

What a stunning piece. The blue dial is mesmerizing. The attention to detail on the new generation where the date jump skips the moonphase is incredible.
