JLC @ SIHH

A couple of weeks ago I made mention that I am always looking forward to what Jaeger will bring to SIHH. Previews and Press slips let word and pictures slip. One new release will be a Vintage inspired Deep Sea Chrono. Strangely I am not convinced about this watch. Word is that it is not a true deep diver and is not an homage or based from any particular watch of past in the JLC lineup. Simply put it is a new watch made to look old. This bugs me. As always this is a personal opinion and a humble one at that, but I simply am failing to see the appeal. The watch has a nice dial layout, but doesn’t even have an elapsed time bezel like a Sub or Seiko diver, which I consider essential, not only for diving, but for daily timing tasks. Jaeger has more intuition and development capabilities than this, why not flaunt them at an event like SIHH. I am feeling that my stand by JLC is merely trying to look good in a crowd. Rumored to be only 100m water resistant and absent of functional push pieces at depth, I think they have a trip back in time on their wrists and nothing more. It pains me to be critical of a still great brand like JLC, but order is needed in the house. Per argument’s sake, I understand that this piece is probably not intended to be a hardcore professional tool watch, but for the desk diver in us all. Why not then instead of making a mediocre diving watch, apply that ingenuity to a fully amazing desk watch or continuation in the sport model line like the Seal divers and Memovox watches? I would love to hear thoughts on this piece, not just if it looks good, but rather the reason this watch exist.Bitte sehen fake rolex oder Replica Rolex Air King
