This is the first time I see any of your videos, and I can already tell you are pure class, sir. Refreshing to see someone that enjoys watches but is also a gentleman, not an overgrown kid trying to flex.
I agree this is MY kind of watch channel. Just the fact that he is spending so much time in the JLC boutique having an in depth discussion is something i truly appreciate
This is high on my list! I have a blue Polaris Chrono and love it! Recently found a tribute to deep sea Polaris. This would round out the rotation nicely ❤ Love JLC…pure class! Great video 👊🏽💪🏽
Great video!! I really like JLC. I recently purchased a Polaris Chronograph with a black dial. I couldn’t be happier with it. The perpetual calendar is stunning!!
This is the watch that I noticed the most this year. My biggest gripe with really formal looking perpetuals is that you can't wear it everywhere, everyday. And if you can't wear it everywhere, its cumbersome to keep it running, and its defeats the purpose of perpetual. This is perfect everyday and also in suit perpetual. Unfortunately don't see too much ho-ha around this gem.
Love the intro man!!! JLC is one of the best brands out there however unfortunately there models is not hyped enough so they don't get the attention they deserved . Visited this boutique when I was in dubai on March. great staff!!
Thanks for the great video! I had a look at this watch in the London JLC boutique and it really looks great, but I thought that the gold version was even more special. The gold gives it some extra heft and visual interest but without being too flashy.
@@WatchSociety Completely agree, but some people don’t have the same view. Just finished watching. It is gorgeous and would look stunning on an orange strap. Did you find the dial too busy or does it work. Thanks 🙏
JLC master thin perpetual is sexy but the use case is quite limited, rarely have a scenario for me to wear it I just wind it daily and look at it on the desk. I prefer wearing navitimer for work and aikon for casual and sport, even work functions I put on Jaquet Droz with the black ceramic bezel, love the way it blend in with the suit instead of slightly standing out with the stainless steel case. But this polaris perpetual might be able to replace both my master ultra thin and aikon, got me thinking if I should sell them and get the polaris
@@idevric I feel you, though I like it a lot, I wouldn't wear it as much as it would deserve. With the polaris I can't stand the second "crown" (or regulator). It kills the symmetry for me. I am petty with that 😅
@@kimkruse4576 true, less classy, 2 crown isnt thst bad, but the 2nd crown for dive bezel is kind of pointless. Its their memovox design but I guess it will be challenge to fit the alarm function with the perpetual cal.
Lovely and well deserved showcase of an underrated watch/watch brand in the current watch market…people need to appreciate JLC more instead of looking at the same old hype watches and brands.
JLC are doing fine, as long as the USA market doesn't hype them like Rolex and PP everybody can appreciate a good thing and not make celebrities out of them.
That's an interesting watch due to the sporting wardrobe not unlike the IWC approach for its perpetual pilots, but here it is much more wearable and accessible at only 42mm. I'll have to look at it in the metal!
When I took my journey seriously in watch collecting almost 20 years ago, I was fascinated in complications in watches. This meant a natural navigation to 3 brand, JLC, Vacheron Constantin and Patek Phillippe. So at the time it was dress watches. So seeing this perpetual calendar on a sports watch is quite intriguing. Same as you, I am not a fan of the perpetual calendar as I have so many watches in rotation, will be forever setting the watch up, which trust me that's a lot of time and can be tedious and time consuming. My favourite is the minute repeater. It's visually better looking on the front and back and it's the hardest complication for a watch maker to produce. If this was a minute repeater, it will be a serious contender for me. Thanks again bro for showing me this piece which i probably would have overlooked.
Richard Man, I’ve never liked perpetual calendars for the same reason, setting up is a pain. I can tell you however that JLC made the setup process much easier on this perpetual. For me honestly I’m very happy to see JLC adding more functions to their sport category. Previously, everything was done to perfection on the classic models just almost too good to the point it was to good to buy ! 😆 for a brand with such deep roots and history making over 1,300+ unique calibers for almost every single brand it’s about time they establish themselves in the sport category. What are your thoughts about the kaki green Polaris automatic? I am referring to the boutique exclusive
@@WatchSociety when it was released, I thought not another green dial watch. JLC jumping on the hype train. However, I have seen it in real life and pictures don't do it justice. The dial has a lacquer applied to it and creates so many different shades of green. Makes it so striking on the eye. It's also 200m dive watch making it very wearable for a everyday watch. Not too keen on the date window at 3 and for me at 42mm it's a bit too large on my wrist. However, at a very reasonable price point, it's definitely a serious contender in the dive watch segment among its competitors.
Haha true, its almost a ritual. I wind my jlc master thin perpetual every morning just to appreciate it, but I Dont really wear it much, it sits in front of my monitor most of the time, got other watches for everyday rotation already. Although Its not really that hard to set the jlc, but it will be painful if you accidently move pass the current date, so I just keep it running and put it in a auto winder if need to leave for long trips
JLC is efective another level when you want a Watch, I have Master Compressor Extreme World Alarm and is like New After 15 years and The Finesse of The mechanism and tough same Time is excepțional. I used to have many IWC Breitling Panerai Omega But I think JLC is better. And I want to Say a watch in Time is about aftersale serviced if you want to go many many years like a car, and JLC After sale and Communications is top notch and that Matter a lot because you make an connection with brand and people at another level. Finally The JLC Watch have soul a Great Soul 💙
I’ve been to a few JLC boutiques and I can’t find it. I want to try this thing on so bad. But I am concerned about the 42mm. How does it compare to the GMT Master 2 you had on?
Flatter and a wrist magnet when on the rubber strap, my preference. Jaeger-LeCultre flagship boutique at Dubai mall still has one available, I think. Kate is your girl, reach out
World class watch presented by a world class gentleman. Great review! This JLC is one of my grail watches given the wearability, horology, and overall quality of this watch. From the smallest to the most complicated details JLC just knocks this out of the park. Takes a true watch collector/enthusiast/purist to realize how amazing this watch is. Great review!
Beautiful watch, I really love the balance and clarity of the dial. However, I do feel that the overall concept is incoherent. While 10 ATM is good enough for a sports watch (including swimming), it is not sufficient for diving - this makes the dive bezel and its dedicated crown really redundant.
Warning to other owners: The clasp unfortunately inadequate. It comes off too easily upon impact. You can literally lose your watch if you use this for swimming. Be careful. JLC needs to fix this.
enfin c'est pas la meme ligue , Rolex c est un million de montres annuel , travail industriel top , qualité solidité etc , jlc c'est de la poésie du genie , de l audace quoi de plus genial que toutes les variations des reverso ?? breguet pour l histoire et lecoutre pour la magie et longines pour les petits budgets ahahaha
Ridiculous to even compare to the ultramass robot factory produced Rolexes. Before marketing hype, Daytonas were sold reduced prices to make them sell.
Is there a single JLC that isn't better than any Rolex? JLC are watchmakers. Rolex are watch marketeers. Is there a Rolex with more than just a day/date or, mostly, useless Chronograph complication?
Is it better than a Rolex? Nope. It's more complicated than a Rolex but if you put it on you notice all the design flaws with the strap and cheap ass strap change system. The butterfly clasp really is a weak point as well. I have proof and it's in this video! The movements are SMALL. They are not designed for the cases hence the giant metal ring as a filler. That's not cool!
This is the first time I see any of your videos, and I can already tell you are pure class, sir. Refreshing to see someone that enjoys watches but is also a gentleman, not an overgrown kid trying to flex.
Thank you Flavio ❤️
You are 100% correct! The bare legs and short white socks just scream "pure class"! OK, Ciao!!

Beautiful example of mechanical art craftsmanship. One of my dream watches! Great content as always.
JLC Haute Horology perfection and mastery! Beautiful and exquisite Watch!
💯 % ❤️
Nice production. The JLC Polaris perpetual calendar is one of my favourite novelties of 2022.
About to be mine too
Best JLC boutique in the world, got my Reverso there and Kathy was the one making the deal. Beyond outstanding service !
Absolutely love JLC. Have my Atmos clock and Reverso and I’m working to add a Duometre in due course!
That’s nice too
Great video!! I really like JLC. I recently purchased a Polaris Chronograph with a black dial. I couldn’t be happier with it. The perpetual calendar is stunning!!
The chronographs is really cool, the mechanics sound nice too ❤️
@@WatchSociety Thank you! It’s a fun hobby!!
The Polaris Chronograph is 🔥🔥🔥
I am looking at buying one of these ... how is it going now. Still enjoying it, how is the performance?
@@ajsaces5211 I really am happy with it. I like that it flies under the radar. Very few know what it is. That’s appealing to me.
One of the finest watchmakers from Switzerland. Excellent video thank you.
Indeed, thank you 🙏
This just looks so good. Such an attractive piece good job jlc
Very professional video, I like the style and the atmosphere. What a step-up, thank you!
The one and only perpetual calendar I would add to my collection! (if I could afford it😂) Great video, love the editing and flow👍🏻👍🏻

Yo HALIM, JLC is making a big come back with the new additions to the sport models, Polaris perpetual is just the start ❤️
@@WatchSociety agree my friends!! Love that brand!!!!
Here for JLC, but couldn’t stop staring at that jubilee Pepsi! My favorite watch in my collection and yours too!
Beautiful watch, definitely worth the attention, great video WatchSociety 👍
Thank you 🙏
Great interview. So many hosts don’t let their guests speak. Keep it up!
Thank you 🙏
Just stunning … wonderful piece
❤️
Slick!- thank you for making me aware of this watch...
Thanks for the great video! I had a look at this watch in the London JLC boutique and it really looks great, but I thought that the gold version was even more special. The gold gives it some extra heft and visual interest but without being too flashy.
To this date I’ve not seen the gold perpetual in person but seen images and looks really nice
It does look very nice but out of place for a Polaris IMO.
C’est tellement drôle de voire elle parle anglais avec accent français...北方人？
Obviously better than any Rolex. Also far better than Rainbow Daytona
Really love this watch so going to enjoy watching this review and listening to your opinion, but I stopped at 0:32 what a gentleman 🥃
We all people ❤️
@@WatchSociety Completely agree, but some people don’t have the same view. Just finished watching. It is gorgeous and would look stunning on an orange strap. Did you find the dial too busy or does it work. Thanks 🙏
I just picked up new Polaris with green dial and anytime I look at it puts smile on my face that no other watch can match that, great review 👊
Stunning piece! Also check out the khaki green Polaris date only version. Amazing finishing and design!
Oh I am onto one
I am biiig fan of JLC, would always pick Reverso over Tank, but not a big fan of the polaris design. Ultra thin perpetual and moonphase are 🔥 though
The perpetual function is a new addition to the Polaris lineup, the case is refined and under 12mm thickness, I absolutely dig it
@@WatchSociety dial is cool, hard facts absolutely cool, no doubt, it is the case shape that's not quite my cup of tea

I use a winder box for my Blancpain perpetual. Haven't set it for over a year other than DST.

I saw the Polaris PC last week in person, and it was stunning. It’s very difficult not to obsess about buying it.
I think the worst JLC is better than the best Rolex.
You should do a review on the Duomètre, it'll blow your mind. Ine of the most underrated watches of all time
How does this fit compared to the GMT on your wrist. I’m worried it may be too big
Nice video mate 🇺🇸
Thank you Tim, what are your thoughts on this boutique exclusive Polaris automatic? The Kaki green
This is a stunning piece, could easily beat the perpetual calendar code from AP
Great video, thanks
Thank you 🙏
I’ve been to a few JLC boutiques and I can’t find it.
I want to try this thing on so bad. But I am concerned about the 42mm.
How does it compare to the GMT Master 2 you had on?
Flatter and a wrist magnet when on the rubber strap, my preference. Jaeger-LeCultre flagship boutique at Dubai mall still has one available, I think. Kate is your girl, reach out
Excellente review of a great watch marking an interesting new direction for JLC, production quality of the video is absolutely spot on ! 👏🏽

Thank you Monarch Timepiece Collection 🙏 The new additions to the Polaris lineup is a huge step in the right direction for Jaeger-LeCultre ❤️
Another great video. Good to see they solved the power reserve issue. What a beautiful piece!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The reason I bought the latest Polaris Chronograph blue instead of an over priced Rolex.
I love this piece, I'll go to the Dubai mall & check it out. I live in Creek Heights Bur Dubai. I'm from Bklyn. NY. The U.S.
How does JLC compare to PP, VC, AP & ALS? Also, how does this watch compare to the Aquanaut? In your opinion…
Of course it’s better than Rolex. No doubt.
Beautiful watch!!!!
Great video well done. Your so style and knowledge is top notch.
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
I hate perpetual calendars, but that one is beautiful. Probably, way out of my price range and I would certainly never take it in water.
JLC is a million times better than any Rolex
I wish they used a bigger movement that fits the case
Me too! Just looks like a poky case back
Love this watch. I'm trying to find a buyer for my kidney right now so that I get my hands on one.
Hahahahhahah
JLC is very underrated among watch community m, for me, it should replace Vacheron in the holy trinity
Beautiful watch, I really love the balance and clarity of the dial. However, I do feel that the overall concept is incoherent.
While 10 ATM is good enough for a sports watch (including swimming), it is not sufficient for diving - this makes the dive bezel and its dedicated crown really redundant.
tres jolie montre
Sorry, but how can you compare a perpetual calendar to a Rolex (which has none)?
So, Rolex under JLC.?
Nice one
Of course it’s better than a Rolex.
It’s a JLC.
Beautiful piece 👍🏿
Warning to other owners: The clasp unfortunately inadequate. It comes off too easily upon impact. You can literally lose your watch if you use this for swimming. Be careful. JLC needs to fix this.
Wow!
I put on the rubber strap from day one and found it loosened twice.
I don’t swim...
enfin c'est pas la meme ligue , Rolex c est un million de montres annuel , travail industriel top , qualité solidité etc , jlc c'est de la poésie du genie , de l audace quoi de plus genial que toutes les variations des reverso ?? breguet pour l histoire et lecoutre pour la magie et longines pour les petits budgets ahahaha
It IS good
i think i saw her at another youtube, Dubai Expert or smth
Very underrated watch brand ,and have the most in-house movements of any brand
I wish they could give one to me
He keeps saying its not a dive watch but she keeps repeating it is, I wanna wear this underwater....
You can, with the crown screwed in.
I wouldn’t do it however considering there are no locks.
I need to talk my AD :-)
The green Polaris automatic should be on top of your list :)
Why the title change
The simple fact you need to mention it's better than a Rolex means it's not.
Ridiculous to even compare to the ultramass robot factory produced Rolexes.
Before marketing hype, Daytonas were sold reduced prices to make them sell.
There are many watches better than a Rolex but everyone still wants the Rolex for brand recognition lol.
Come on, JLC is a real watch for real people, the other "thing" is a fake for "new rich" only.
Is there a single JLC that isn't better than any Rolex?
JLC are watchmakers. Rolex are watch marketeers. Is there a Rolex with more than just a day/date or, mostly, useless Chronograph complication?
Tâche 1 finir
Is it better than a Rolex? Nope.
It's more complicated than a Rolex but if you put it on you notice all the design flaws with the strap and cheap ass strap change system. The butterfly clasp really is a weak point as well.
I have proof and it's in this video! The movements are SMALL. They are not designed for the cases hence the giant metal ring as a filler. That's not cool!
Rolex doesn't make a perpetual calendar.
There is no comparison, Rolex makes tool watches and sells GOLD stuff.
Horrible editing
Tried on yesterday the 18 carat Gold JLC Polaris Ref Q90827680 Perpetual Kalender going to pull the trigger for this time piece
