Jaeger-LeCoultre, H. Moser & Cie, Hermès: My 3 Goto Watch Companies
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I like watch companies who have 3 characteristics: 1) Hi quality entry level watches; 2) Outstanding top horology and award-winning watches and 3) 'Hidden Treasures'-these are watches no longer produced-not vintage- but with good discounted prices and interesting features.

JLC has soo many incredible hidden gems. My personal favorites are the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Art Deco Salmon (beautiful hand engraved skeletonized movement, one of the best designed dials I've ever seen, perfect size, LE of 200) and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire Enamel (unique and beautiful movement, enamel dial)

The JLC Duometre is amazing horology Wangang... not a skeletonized fan, though. Take care, Bill
The H Moser HMC800 perpetual calendar is also an incredibly impressive movement created back in 2006 by Andreas Strehler. By far my favorite and easiest perpetual calendar to use! Additionally, Hermes is releasing later in 2023 new versions of the H08 including a mono pusher chronograph.

Thank you Michael! I knew the perpetual calendar by HMC was before Meylan took over, but I wasn't sure when, and what a surprise to hear it was by Andres Strehler! Take care, Bill
At the centre of the dial, a small security zone indicator shows red between the hours of 20:00 and 04:00 to warn the user not to adjust the time or calendar indications. Information found on the site of lecoultre

Hey Vincent, thanks man! Take care, Bill
Great finding (H. Moser Mayu)!, The name comes from Moser's wife first name. It was offered in rose and white gold plus platinum and white, black, brown and brown fume dials. NOTE: Some Mayus produced prior to 2012 may have dual hairsprings as Moser used this feature as a way to show the technology not just in the Henry.

G'morning Bill ☕☕ . Thanks for the heads up on the Hermes Dressage', I'll put that on my bucket list & look into one 🤔 . Right now I'm enjoying my Seiko 7002-700a w/ a 7020 handset & I like it a lot 🤠 .

Hi Idle Time, Seiko is too practical for a dandy like me! You're way too responsible! Take care, Bill
Red security zone is a small dial in the center that turns red at 9pm-3am so you don't adjust the date from the crown. For reasons I don't know, it's during these hours that changing the date can break the watch.

The red security zone on the JLC reminds you to not adjust the watch between 20:00 and 04:00, if you do, you will damage te movement! 😢

JLC and GO are my favourite watch makers. I would love to have a Moser, but I'm afraid that they are too expensive for me. Those time only watches aren't that bad, but I do like complications.

Very nice suggestions Doc. For JLC, my heart palpitates for the newly released Reverso Chronograph. Moser, I like the Arctic Blue Pioneer Center Seconds or the Heritage Center Seconds. I was considering the H08, and then it hit me that I can get an older gen Tonda with better finishings and the Hermès strap for the same price.
