    Gorgeous watch. Just an FYI, when you reverse the watch (7:04), it puts less wear on the watch if you slide it out fully, reverse it, and then slide it in, rather than snap it in. This I learned at the manufacture. Hope that helps.

    I love Jaeger LeCoultres, but their recent price increases are a bit disrespectful and go well beyond standard business increases. I don't know when I'll ever buy one now - just out of principle.

      Of course, if you're buying straps from a Richemont boutique, you don't care about money.

      Let's not forget that at the end of the day... these are expensive toys for rich people. It's only been in the last few years that us plebs have had the illusion of value retention and "free" ownership of some models/brands. Fact of the matter is, from a marketing point of view, luxury jewellery MUST be absurdly expensive... and considering how well rich people have done in the last 3 years, their inflation is a lot higher than ours! 😂

    It drives me crazy every time I see this guy slam the case down to close it. You’re supposed to lay it flat with enough room to slide it back into place. Then he’s gonna go and complain about the watch being defective after he breaks it.

    Moin Nico!
    Noch schöner wäre es gewesen, auf der Seite des Chrongraphen, die Drücker auf der rechten Seite zu haben.
    Ich war gestern in der Mahlberg-Filiale in Bremen und habe mich lange mit einem Mitarbeiter unterhalten, den ich schon aus der Wempe-Filiale auf der anderen Straßenseite kannte. Da kamen wir auch auf die Reverso mit der kleinen Sekunde zu sprechen, die ich vor ein paar Jahren bei Wempe gekauft hatte, als sie noch für 5.100 Euro Listenpreis zu bekommen war. Und ich habe sogar noch ein etwas Rabatt bekommen. Jetzt, mit 11.100 Euro, wäre es völlig utopisch für mich, die Uhr zu kaufen.
    LG Claus

    the guy that bought the watch doesnt particularly show genuine interest in the watch. more like yeah it's expensive and people in more social circle has it so i needed one too is my reason type. it is sad to think that these watches are ending up in these type of owners hand, after all the tradition and work put into them.

    That’s an exquisite watch and I have massive respect for JLC, but that strap was abhorrent. I just don’t get that at all it gives the impression that it’s been applied the wrong way around.

  • @4AllUSa
    @4AllUSa 9 місяців тому +1

    Don't take offense, this useless chronograph but for left-handed individuals seems practical. The design would make sense for most if it had a skeleton-style dial, like the first version, or if the dial were rotated 180 degrees. The technical use of this invention for right-handed individuals, covering the dial while using functions, seems at least inappropriate. But who will forbid the wealthy. Material made very wel

The woman fortunately does a good job and safes you a bit. I‘m sure all presenters would give you a clear yes to put the video online. And if the buyer does not want to show his face you should lookout for others. With your style of not showing faces you take all the emotions and spirit. Very sad. 😢😢😢😢
