Hello everyone, for the past year or so I’ve been keeping an eye out for companies who are starting to put the LJP calibers in their watches. I’ve been dying for a new workhorse movement that has power reserve closer to 70 hours, beats at 4hz, and can be easily regulated due to lack of free sprung balance, unlike the powermatic series and kenissi movements.
Admittedly, adoption of the LJP calibers doesn’t seem to be happening as fast as I thought it would, and these models are somewhat few and far between. This is perhaps due to apprehension from micro’s and indie’s who have seen what has occurred to other early adopters such as the Monta with their Lemania movement fiasco, as well as the Serica problems with the Soprod newton.
In any case, I thought I would present the list of the watch models I currently know about using the LJP G100 ready to buy, or will be shortly.
