Nice JLC. That's just a real, simple, quality watch. Nice choice.

I like them too. A friend bought that and a Calatrava (the one where the lugs fall off) and called it a day. That was over 30'years ago and he's still,happy as a clam. That's really all you need; a steel sport watch and a gold dress watch.

You can't beat a Datejust, fluted + jublilee combo as a versatile piece. Love mine, it was my gateway drug to this hobby ...

There's a whole philosophical discussion about whether objects need to have visibly written on them a summary of what they do.

Jumping in here a bit late, but there's another application of this practice that I dislike even more severely than on watches: the recent trend in decorating for a designer to put a sign on the wall that describes the purpose of the room. I know that I'm standing in the kitchen, I don't need a reminder to "E A T" in large, vintage distressed letters. I've never found myself in a strange room of my house, confused about its purpose, until I saw "Laundry" spelled out on the wall.

Apart from Richard Mille, and obviously AP, for whom else does Renaud et Papi provide movements?

Anyone know?

Looks great with a leather jacket.

Anyone know?

They have also been involved in Cartier's Tourbillons, for their Fine Watchmaking collection. The watch that comes to mind is the Pasha Tourbillon Chronograph with 8 day power reserve. Chanel also has a Tourbillon that was created by Renaud et Papi. There may be others but I'd have to look at some of my reference materials to be sure.

Love this, it only increases my GMT fever.

Thanks, Dino. Any clue if they do the movements for H. Moser as well?

Fourth day of the Chinese New Year - wearing my charismatic Celadon Imperial with a cashmere Imperial Red shawl collar cardigan and orange linen shirt (reminiscent of auspicious mandarin oranges of course!).

Pepsi + leather = looks good, cyc.

Sorry. I really haven't looked into H. Moser closely, so I do not know.
