JLC Hometime, anyone?

Thanks a lot for sharing the news!

A nice watch, but the design is so similar to JLC MC Hometime that Montblanc would have raised a few eyebrows even if they had admitted that they have been merely 'inspired' by it ( and indeed, there is no reference to JLC in the press release). Wonder how different its in-house manufacture complication is, not to mention the 500 hours vs. 1000 hours quality control process... 

Sorry for the unenthusiastic post, but I like Montblanc more when I read about their original pieces such as Nicolas Rieussec or some of their stunning high complications...

The MB is thinner and also 3000+Euro less than the JLC price. JLC has the 1000 hours Master Control testing. MB is highlighting their 500 hour quality test as well. So which would you purchase? :-) That is really the question! Cheers, Mike
