What are your personal guardrails when building your watch collection (if any 😂)?
The only thing that bugs me about this JLC Perpetual Calendar is that people read left to right. So the day should be the 9 o'clock sub-dial and the date in the month should be either at 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock (Patek) or 3 o'clock sub-dial (Vacheron and AP). The way JLC have laid out the sub-dials is counter intuitive and slower to read.
Stunning piece with insane dimensions 🤯
