Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Jacques Lemans Men's GU129D Geneve Artis Collection Watch

First of all, let me start off by saying that Jacques LeMans makes fantastic watches for the money. Although they make some very Euro-styled pieces, I tend to gravitate toward the classic elegance and simplicity of their Artis-series watches. This particular watch sells for twice as much on competitor websites, so the $445 pricetag on Amazon was a real bargain. That being said, the watch has so many things going for it I’m not sure where to begin. To start, it’s completely Swiss made (you watch guys out there know what that means). Second, it has a slightly domed sapphire crystal which adds to the elegance and fluidity of the watch. The case and 5-link stainless steel bracelet are very high polished and flawless and add to the watch’s sharp and clean appearance. One thing that I ALWAYS look for in a wristwatch is readability whether during daylight or night. I’m happy to say that the luminous properties of this watch are top notch. Expose the face to natural light for a couple of minutes and the numerals and hands glow brightly for some time. The movement is a highly decorated (exhibition caseback) Swiss ETA 2836 with big DAY complication at the 12:00 position. Very nice. The bracelet is extremely comfortable and ‘fluid’. I own a number of Jacques LeMans timepieces, but have to say that this is one of my favourites. The price may seem a bit much for some, but as soon as you see and feel this watch, you realize that this truly is a steal. Wear in good health.
