    Great watches. I own the JLC and it is a great watch (great design, colom wheel chrono, 69 hours power reserve etc.). I miss it it because it is having service right now. You can see it is a JLC by a mile away, so that shows the design strenght of the watch imho. The same with the Zenith. Great design and I want one! The Brequet watch did not appeal to me (I like elements of the watch) although the story of Brequet is very interesting. Brequet was a genius. It is not fair to judge an 15 year old watch (design) with a macro lens because the standards today are so much higher. Lume applied by men is more difficult than lume applied by a robot. With the naked eye the JLC looks beautiful. Just my 2 cents.

      The Breguet has been my daily watch for a couple of years now. It wears really well despite being rather "fat." I didn't really wear it at first because of its thickness, but took it out of the drawer after too many hipster types started complimenting me on the Rolex GMT Master2 Pepsi that used to be my daily watch. It definitely flies under the radar. I also have the Zenith. It's a great watch. I love the size and the history behind it. But it just doesn't get worn much at all. It's a mystery why the Zenith is so unloved. A business associate who also has the same Zenith agrees. You buy it because you admire what it is...but you just don't wear it.

    Excellent video, I’ve learned something new today. Sorry to see Zenith go under in the manner it did.

    I wonder what will happen to the luxury watch industry during these uncertain times. Would love to see you make a video of it! These watches are beauties though.

    Love the JLC but imagine if someone looked at it under a microscope and realised the underside of the second hand could do with a polish! I’d be so embarrassed, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night worrying about it!

    For me the El Primero is incredibly attractive, there are few others I'd prefer to see on my wrist.

    Make a video on moon phase watches! For instance, the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Chronograph is a mighty one.

    The JLC is not available now and the alternative Polaris is like 2x more expensive. The other options here seem significantly more expensive than stated on the video. What’s up.

    Hi Team Watchfinder & Co.
    first of all, thank you very much for making this channel and constantly indulge us with beautiful video full of knowledge and history about timepieces, have been a fan since I found your channel on youtube.
    May I request a favour to review a 1941 Breguet reference 4296 which was sold at Phillips auction a year ago and the reason behind why Breguet has never made its lug angled on most of its variant?
    Thank you very much in advance and lookin' forward for more video and topic.
    Cheers team

    The details on that JLC are poorly finished, the lume especially. I'll take the Zenith please

    Another amazing and informative video (as usual). The price on all three was a surprise, but the only one I actually want is the zenith.... the others look too wacky for me.

    1:32 the lume seems a bit sloppy to me. How does the QC at JLC compare to that at Rolex?

    Can you review my favourite watch? The Breitling B01 premier?

  • @schniggs2011
    @schniggs2011 4 года назад +3

    I have all three of these in my collection - and, of the three, the Breguet is the collection-killer. I wear it a lot, it’s one of my favorite weekend watches. In a collection of 61 pieces, Jaeger-LeCoultre and, also, LeCoultre (from the embargo years) is well represented. But I only have 2 Breguet. And they are among my favorites. Altho, I must admit to a very fond love for JLC, especially pieces from the 30s and 40s.

    Please don't associate Bosch (not a fan after several prem failures) with a nice reliable watch brand. Cheers for the video.

    • @JohnSmith-qg3jb
      @JohnSmith-qg3jb 4 года назад +2

      Steve Smith Bosch products are utterly unreliable and horribly engineered. They also have the worst customer service. I strongly advise anyone to avoid Bosch.

    The Bregeut type 21 is just beautiful absolutely beautiful and from a company with epic heritage..... Why on earth would anyone want to wait years to purchase an overpriced, overrated, overhyped Daytona when you can buy one of these beauties...... Daytona or Bregeut type 21....?.... Well its a no brainer isn't it? 👍

    • @heltunikt
      @heltunikt 2 года назад

      Because many Daytona buyers are simply sheep looking for instant recognition by others and/or because they're looking to make money from the watch. Appreciation of the watch itself might come as a distant third on the list.

    That JLC Chrono no longer features on the JLC website. Was it discontinued? It is of course available on Watchfinder...
