The watch you are proud and having fun owning.....
By: KIH : July 10th, 2014-09:02
The title says it all for this week's theme. This is the one for me. More than 40 years old, but it is never "classic" look. Can wear for very wide range of occasion - from business to casual. Very thin, could be stealthy, but with polo shirt it doesn't s...
Pure Fun Watch
By: Tim_M : July 10th, 2014-09:47
Here's an old friend, my first JLC, and guaranteed to elicit smiles. Of all the JLCs I've added since this first, none attracts quite as much sincere interest and compliments. It's big, colorful, cheerful, and playful. While other watches I've owned draw ...

Very Cool
By: Tim_M : July 10th, 2014-20:40
That Grand Reveil is a very cool watch. I think that if I had to pick just a handful of watches to introduce a newcomer to JLC, this one would be be in the mix. The combination of a steel case, dual-mode alarm, comprehensive perpetual calendar (years and ...

to post a picture of a watch you cannot wait to own, one that you know you will be proud to own? Because surely the CHopard LUC 1963 Chronograph PuristS Edition fits the bill! If it has to be one I own, it would surely be this one: I knew from the instant...

Pride and Fun with GP Type 375, Ref 8052

By: nilomis : July 11th, 2014-18:32
I'm very attracted by the IWC Portuguese line. The clean style, the big size, coupled with a relative thin case of the 5454 makes a very nice watch, IMHO. Cheers, Nilo
