My favorite release of Watches & Wonders 2023. I rushed over to the JLC boutique to put my name down and 7 months later I got the call. They said I’m 1 of 2 to receive it this year and they have over 300 pre-orders (that boutique alone). This is a grail level piece for me and I feel very lucky to be an owner of a very special JLC. This watch already looks insane in photos, it’s even better in real life.

    Lovely watch mate. I’m personally done adding (once my bel canto arrives this month-ish) with mechanicals and keep it to a 9-10 max for the collection. I’m starting to gravitate towards these “grail” / OUT THERE types (Freak X, Breguet Tradition 70xx, other “special” reversos) for an “exit” watch… because I don’t really want to replace anything in my collection but don’t want to grow without significance.

    Anyway ignore the size haters - watch is fine and in a mirror would look normal. Plus fuck let people notice that shit (even though we know no one cares but us). Envious to have found something that special and meaningful…. I’m not gonna rush it I hope something speaks to me between now and turning 50 (I’m 41 ha)

    Cheers
