  • In this video, we head to the Vallée de Joux in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland to visit JLC's historic manufacturing facility and headquarters. While I've often heard the brand called "the watchmaker's watchmaker", this trip confirmed the special things going on at JLC. Thanks again to Matthew Sauret, the brand's director of heritage, for showing us around. What do you guys think of JLC?

      I agree with you, amazing brand. Just some unsolicited advice lol; I bought a Reverso during the height of covid without trying it on due to the circumstances, and it just didn’t fit. I sold it at a loss. Do yourself a favor if you’re considering a Reverso, and make sure it fits you. Square and rectangular watches are notorious for fit issues, as I have subsequently discovered. Good luck!

    JLC Truly is and will always be the "The Watchmakers, him Watchmaker" I mean they have just such a rich history of making some of the worlds most beautiful and well made movements ever, their vintage repeaters were some of the best made and many companies actually bought them to use in their own (pocket)watches, even Vacheron Constantin used their movements and even Patek, that alone should tell you all you need to know. I have a gorgeous Vintage Jaeger LeCoultre A-10 Chronoflite from an old Navy war plane and a newer version used by Boeing in some of their aircraft, just absolutely amazing clocks and the attention to detail even in something as mundane as a clock for a plane is just amazing.

    Damn Teddy, this exactly the watch content I want to see! I love JLC, so great to see this BTS action! My grandparents had an Atmos on their mantle for my entire childhood, I got in trouble so many times for messing with it. I was absolutely mesmerized by that clock, and attribute my love of watches to this day to the JLC Atmos. Really cool to see those in action. I have the Atmos to this day, even tho mine has kind of a 70/80's design.. I still love it!

    My favorite Swiss brand. For highschool graduates like me, my grand seiko to me is the modern day Jaeger-LeCoultre in terms of importance and movement mastery but with more "modern" dial design and crazy attention to detail from the polishing to the movement decoration. I believe grand seiko is one of the only brands that can get my generation into watches properly without the mini phones on the wrist garbage.

      GS needs to thin out their movements and improve their clasps before they can be considered in the same class. The Zaratsu method also makes their cases scratch magnets.

    • @geno816
      @geno816 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm a millennial and grand seiko opened a new world for me. Made me love watches. 100% my favorite watch brand. The spring drive sweep is second to none. The accuracy is better. The polishing, the accuracy, the dial.. the best.

    • @JohnnyADi
      @JohnnyADi ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@JackoWillMakeLives-loveu you know how many brands don't have adjustable on the fly clasps? I gave up on that dream, yes Rolex has it but Rolex completely taints the watch world being used purely as a flex at my age and the ADs are ran like shit. Their movements are solid but not as specialized as a 36000 bpm 80 hour movement or a spring drive which yes I know not everyone likes. The movement in my SLGA009 is thin enough, it's not a pure dress watch, their evolution 9 collection reminds me most of JLCs Polaris collection and those are the types of watches for me that make the most sense as they are durable, and have solid water resistance, solid movement, and unique dials, except grand seiko is innovating way more than them in recent times and really making things that no Swiss manufacturer is making. I could compare their movement finishing to H Moser not JLC for 10k which is crazy for me to even think about. The polishing attracting scratches for me, I could care less, it shows you actually wear the thing and the second I got a few scratches on it I wasn't afraid at all to make it a daily wearer and scratch it up. Mine only really has a few bigger scratches on the bracelet. I hate when people worry about scratching their watch which causes them not to wear it as much, I don't give a shit about the value of it, I just want to enjoy it. I didn't get it because it I thought it was flashy and it's expensive, I got it because it's the best white dial dress it up and down watch with in my case +/- 2 seconds a month for 8.5k (what I personally paid for mine)! It's the most comfortable watch I've ever worn, if I really wanted an adjustable clasp I'd put it on a leather strap. And I don't care if it gets scratched because the real artwork is on the face and is not the case. That polishing under that crystal is incredibly reflective and glimmers beautifully with every outfit I've ever worn with it. The issue I have with it is it makes me want to also get the SLGA021 which is identical in every way except for that beautiful dusk lake dial. I shouldn't be spending that kind of money on watches if I was normal but it's the only artwork I buy and it's the only accessory I wear so to me it brings immense and incredible value. Heck I even met a Swiss guy a few days ago and loved comparing our favorite brands and the pieces we own and we compared JLC to GS for over and hour, not to mention he's been studying for half a decade already to be a watchmaker.

    I had an affinity for watches because my dad gave me a Casio that glowed in the dark. He then later gifted me a TAG he bought in the late 80s to commemorate a promotion he had received. Those two watches are very meaningful to me, but I never really got fully in to watches until I stumbled on Teddy's channel; I guess I didn't really understand why watches were more than simple timekeeping objects. I have been enjoying all of your content ever since I found your channel, learning more and more about the art that is watchmaking. I am completely consumed by this art,and love videos like this were mastership is displayed (and are not so focused on the cost or status of watches). These types of videos make me even more enthralled by watches. Thanks Teddy! PS: I also took your advice about not rushing into buying any particular piece, but rather spend time saving for a watch that I truly want. I am hoping to get a Reverso and a Skydweller before I turn 40 (33 right now, so definitely achievable). Again, thank you for all your dedication and passion for this niche passion!!
