Jaeger LeCultre
« on: November 30, 2010, 10:00:42 AM »
Hey guys, I've been following the forum for quite some time now and I get the impression that majority are into IWC, Sinn, Omega, Panerai, Rolex and Seiko......just wondering why no one discussed about Jaeger watches.....is it not that good and overpriced?

Regards,
Dale

Good to see you start posting ;)

You make me feel guilty that i did not post up my JLC grand reverso GMT after so long over due  ;D. Will try to do it one day :)

In my opinion, i think JLC is a very classic and accurate watch (i tested it 10days and i'm happy with the result). The finishing is good too. The discount given to JLC has yet to be controlled, so, I'm still very happy with the discounted price.

Another point to make, JLC has always dedicated movement for it's series/model. The same movement will hardly be spotted across series or different models.

Don't get me / us wrong. JLC is a good brand/watch. Always wanted to own a basic reverso one day......

I am almost a recovered watchaholic, but last checked shows only 70% recovered. How?

Jaegre-LeCoultre Amvox 1 Alarm in Stainless Steel, reporting in:



My first and currently only JLC timepiece. The watch is very nicely finished, and I especially like the SS bracelet. The mechanical alarm function is not commonly found these days and this is probably the reason I bought this watch.

Specs:

  • Mechanical movement
  • Automatic winding
  • Caliber JLC 918
  • Alarm function
  • 45 hours power reserve
  • Hours, minutes, seconds, date
  • Water resistant to 50 m

Anyone who has extra cash to spare definitely has to own at least one Jaeger-Lecoultre, decent brand history and known for their gyro-tourbillion invention. Brand name is catchy, nice brand logo. Compared to other high end branded watches, their price is actually decent for their entry level model. However, i always have an impression that the brand is more popular among girls, no offense to anyone.

Anyway nice reverso you got there, definitely an innovative design. I'm happy for the owners.

Yes, JLC is definitely on my highly wanted list.
this is the one i want


the only problem I can foresee is...............I have to fork out another half a mil for the car!

but just imagine the situation.
you're in a swanky bar, you are talking to a supermodel who have seen her fair shares of rollies, pams, PP. and ferraris, porsche, etc, she's not going to be impressed by your run of the mill rolex and ferrari, how do you impress her i hear you ask.

you turn to her point at your DBS, and say check this out, push the lever on your JLC, and just like voodoo, the door of your DBS unlocks.
result? someone is getting lucky tonight.
and that my friend, is how to impress a girl.  ;D ;D ;D

Easily over that amount, but I think monetary issue is the least of your concern if you are planning to buy that watch.
because you need to "qualify" to buy it -----by being an actual DBS owner. that watch is a car key. they wouldn't just sell it in an AD. they would need to program it to your car's security system.
