The Value Proposition: The Amazing, Incredible, And Semi-Affordable, Atmos Clock From Jaeger-LeCoultre
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.

New RO 41mm Perpetual Calendars
Some of you have seen a photo flying around, there will in fact be a steel version with blue dial and a rose gold version announced officially on 15th. New movement with an extra indicator showing the week. Look very nice.........

I have the 422. GREAT watch. Felt it perhaps was not a great daily wearer though. A bit big and flashy for my line of work. The leather straps are just tough to work with in the Florida summer heat, at the beach, playing golf. The 422 looks wrong to me on the rubber strap. A great nighttime, weekend watch or for days when not exposed to the elements. So, I wanted a second watch and re-purchased (arrgh) the one I always regretted letting go, the GMTIIC. Will be my daily wearer and I hope will allow me to appreciate even more strapping on the 422 whenever I can. The GMTIIC came via a great transaction at the Rolex boutique, Millenia Mall in Orlando. Considered the black and blue bezel but that color combo just does not do anything for me. Pic is of my old one.

Whoooooooooooooo
Rolex wearing.....Having a hard time holding these alligators down lolhttps://youtu.be/xGbZN4fV4GU
