That's simply awesome!!Have the AD arrive this wonderful piece yet?

As I know not yet...... but with a USA price estimate of USD $10,800.... It's a winner for sure... and is 42mm... for sure it looks WAAAAY better than a daytona also.

I really want this !!!

As the writer said:

" Rarely does a watch hit me square between the eyes with such force. There have been plenty of watches that I instantly like, or dislike and there have many watches that have grown on me over time. But, this is different. Very different. "

The design is brilliant! Looks a like a vintage heuer. Can't really place it, modern yet with all vintage elements in it. Like!
Thx for sharing.

You a so right, IMO I think there is no better example of such a watch.... it's perfection in my eyes.... was thinking PAM next... after seeing this I'm changing my mind FAST.

It is quite an amazing diver's chronograph. The red-white indicator shows the state of the chronograph (i.e. starts, stops) in water. This means that one can actually activate the chronograph while in the water, which most others can't. I've tried the working prototype. It will reach our shore in few months. JLC had an evening cruise event last week to showcase some of this year SIHH pieces, including this piece.

Can you find it on the JLC site.... I must be silly but I can't find it.. LOL

How thick is it ??

[Mell]

I don't have its specs. But if memory didn't fail me (cos there were quite a lot of pieces showcased), it's not thicker than Daytona, possibly a bit thinner. What caught my attention was its red-white indicator, which I thought was a power reserve initially. Unfortunately it has a pin buckle. Would be better with a deployant, but then its vintage feel would be diluted.

Looks like a larger Tudor. Nice.

Looks like a diving watch
But with stopwatch function

[nikleica]

It does look simply stunning on first glance. Then a second look and it looks like it is trying to do an ala Fifty Fathom style....price point is just right but marketing segment does look dubious as the watch price sits in between some competent brands and makes.

Would I buy it? Hmmm not this one...I would go for the Blancpain if I wanted one.

with a name 'DEEP SEA CHRONOGRAPH" i'd expect it to be anything but that...
