The watchmaker's watches...

Greetings TRF,

We've all read or heard that somewhere, Jaeger-Lecoultre is the watchmakers' watch brand...

...At least it is a brand that this watchmaker likes.





Thank you for watching, feel free to comment!

I didn't realize that. Was there a specific reason? Something special about the movement? Great pics, btw.

JLC doesn't get the recognition they so well deserve. One of my favorite brands.

I think it has to do with the fact that Jaeger-Lecoultre has always made their own movements and supplied many, many brands with ébauches that were always of a high quality. They have about 1 200 different calibers in their archives and have had a lot of patents over the years.

Thank you for the kind words regarding my pictures.

Zenith is indeed an overlooked brand as well, I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about Cyma but I have seen a few of their watches and they sure look nice.
