The Value Proposition: The Amazing, Incredible, And Semi-Affordable, Atmos Clock From Jaeger-LeCoult
As the current new guy at HODINKEE, it gives me no small pleasure to introduce – I should say, re-introduce – an old reader favorite: The Value Proposition. It’s been on hiatus for some time but you’ve asked us repeatedly to bring it back, and we listened.In Value Proposition we bring you a look at some of horology’s biggest and best bang-for-the-buck – timepieces that, in a world where price increases have for over a decade shut more and more out of enjoying mechanical horology, really over deliver in the value department. In general this means things in the under $10,000 category but at the same time, you might see us occasionally cover something like, say, a $15,000 minute repeater that sounds as nice as a $300,000 chiming complication, which seems unlikely, but hey, if it exists, you’ll read about it here first.Today, let’s talk about the Atmos clock, from Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Re: Rolex Accuracy - Damn Right!
Hi gang; Before I start let me say: I've been off the forum for a few years. Recently I've rejoined and I'm delighted to find this is still the best discussion group on the internet. Smart, classy and frequently witty posts are a commodity that never gets old. I'm proud to be a member. Anyway......Rolex has been refining their watches more or less continuously. Sometimes there are very noticeable changes like new cases, expanding the dial choices and even desirable bracelet upgrades. But I gotta' say the latest, and greatest movement upgrades are really impressive to me.My new Datejust, which I purchased about 8 weeks ago, has run *dead accurate* since day 1. Yes, it was adjusted for DST but the watch runs about -2 / +2 per day so minutes remain locked to the atomic clock.
