It's a Swiss Watch from Tramelan. A small City in Swizerland. Love all Watches from Armand Nicolet
Really good value for money! Thanks for this nice review!
I have the JH9 GMT got it a few years go and still love it.
Really nice watch! I'm going to have to look them up.
I have the js9-44 gmt. In my opinion it's a divers watch with a touch of class. This is truly a one collection watch.
I've had a JS 9 for two years now and it's still working very well; loses about 3 seconds every two days. I've been swimming with it and the seals are very good. It cost me £1500.
So underrated.
J09.
Brilliant watch.
Recently purchase from their website. Seamless purchase.
Nice! Thanks for sharing..
I own the JH9 GMT Black dial with blue accents. And the MH2-4 Blue Guilloché Dial. They make great watches thats why I bought two of them.
Honestly like the style. Too many people caught up with brand name bs
Agreed. There's a lot of great quality out there.
Agreed. I prefer to wear watches that are not mainstream. Keeps the prices down.
I have one, a J09-3 in blue. Really inexpensive and made nicely. Not trying to be something it's not, makes a nice daily driver. One of the few watches I have that people actually say "I like your watch" about. (Non watch geeks I mean!). Keeps very good time, about +2 on the wrist and no beat error on either of my timegraphers in most positions. Amplitude is about 280 degrees, ultimately it's the same as the watch in your video. Nice piece and I like wearing it!
I've wanted this JH9 on a bracelet and chronograph. Apart from the shared name for my reasons it certainly looks quality.
I own two watches from this brand and am happy with both.
Love that brand
I've been using JH9 (blue version) for a couple of months now. It's definitely superb quality and an undervalued piece. I was thinking to buy a much more expensive (well-known) piece, but after I saw this, I felt the quality/price ratio is a steal from consumer PoV. Still has the same view. If you put a different brand name on it, easily starts 5 times its value. Definitely recommended.
Where can i buy a rubber strap for it in USA?
The Nicolet brand uses a clever marketing ploy. They, spend a lot of money on the design and then put a huge price tag on them. You'll see prices as high as $10,000 for one. Are they worth it? Absolutely not. The high price is there to fool you into thinking it's a prestigious brand and with a fancy French-sounding name, it's very easy to be fooled! Don't be.
The movements are usually Chinese and churned out for just a handful of dollars.
But here's the thing, Nicolet uses another very clever trick. Those of us living in the U.K. might remember that years ago, there was a market in London called Petticoat Lane. Stall holders would offer punters very pretty-looking dinner sets with loads and loads of china (cups, saucers and an array of plates) for sale. The price, ONLY a hundred quid for the lot. Then the store holder would say, "But I'm not gonna let you pay a hundred today, I'm not even gonna take half that, no madam, put your 25 quid away, cos I'm gonna do you a real favour. Today, cos you've got a lovely face, I'm not even gonna take 20 quid. As it's my birthday, you lovely people can buy the whole lot for only 10 quid!"
Do you see the psychology here? The guy has come down from £100 to only ten. So you would be forgiven for thinking it must be a fantastic bargain. The result was that the punters couldn't wait to hand over their tenners! They were seduced by the absolute bargain price due to the massive reduction.
Nicolet uses the same "market stall" principle. They will offer their beautiful-looking watches for huge sums, but then discount them to a fraction of the asking price. Suddenly, their $10,000 watches becomes a special offer at only $1,000. WOW. That must be a bargain ... right? NO, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Ever heard the saying - There's no such thing as a free lunch? Or how about - All that glitters is not gold?
That incredible bargain watch you bought for the amazingly reduced price of $1000, is probably only worth $100 in real terms. It will have a pretty cheap movement (which will work fine for a year or two). However, if you ask a good watchmaker what he honestly thinks of your "bargain" don't blame me if he chokes on his beer when he opens your watch!
Sure, Nicolet watches they look fantastic and if you want to wear a great-looking watch, go ahead and buy one. Will they be a good investment? Absolutely not. Just take a look on eBay and you'll see hundreds of Nicolet watches all gathering dust because they just don't sell ... unless of course, the seller offers a free dinner set with 'em.
You may be confusing the unrelated brand Nicolet (similar to Invicta in marketing and pricing) with Armand Nicolet which is a true Swiss Made watch brand. Nicolet used to be sold in the US on a TV shopping channel alongside the Croton brand and believe they had the same owner.
If you spent half the time researching that you took to comment you would realize how incorrect you are.
They are using an eta 2824 a good workhorse swiss movement not a chinese movement. I don't think this watch is worth $2900 but it is a good bargain at under $1000 usd
