JLC has long been respected by knowledgeable horology aficionados as a true manufacture par excellence. In fact, JLC has very often been the watchmaker's watchmaker for many of the other major Swiss brands for part of the 19th and most of the 20th century. Their achievements are groundbreaking and often breathtaking. This forum is a celebration of that ingenuity and its result.
