拿公机处理出来的,设计当然不是很具突破性,不过自家的表弓调时还是很有特色的。
说到JJ,钟博士有如此一番论述:
“JJ固然是好东西,但却像是个蒙上了神秘面纱的顶级货。据我所知,JJ从来没有参加天文台精彩的历史,而且我认为他家的擒纵设计太保守了。当他的其他顶级对手已经开始使用带有安全锁定装置的双圆盘摆轮游丝系统的时候,他家还在用传统的单圆盘系统。(勉强译出,不好的话请见谅。)JJ总是与最新技术保持距离,如果他家的产品用过纪晓姆摆轮的话,那就恕我孤陋寡闻。
JJ从来没有参赛的原因估计是因为他家在美国已经建立了有关精准时计的良好声誉,而PP在那个时代还被视为暴发户一般的品牌(当然,同时代的大牌很难有与JJ匹敌的),所以如果有人用后来JJ走下坡路那段时间的标准来衡量JJ的级别的话,我会很反感。
总的来说,JJ造的好表都是不计成本的(用了最好的工艺,杜飞应该也是不过如此)。正是因为他家的表是如此地高档且远近驰名,现存的JJ很少有品相不佳的。(因为他们只在正式场合被派上用场)。当然,我也见过一些被虐得很惨的JJ,但既然是出厂100年以上的老东西了,也不能计较这么多了。此外,同样是好表,波特和法苏的作品技术上非常有突破性,JJ则只是太保守了。
顺便说说,法苏那个时代的阿尔巴尼有很多有钱人居住,法苏完全可以卖掉每一只产品,无论是通过授权经销商还是给富人造定做表。”
原文:
My view of Jules Jurgensen watches is that thay are very fine but a shade off top tier. This is a bit heretical but I take the view because, to my knowledge, Jurgensen never competed in time trials and I think the escapements were too conservative. They tended to knife edge single roller while the other top makers ahd gone to the detached safety finger lever double roller. They stayed back from the technology advances. If they made a Guillaume balance I have not heard of it.
Jurgensen probably did not compete because they already had a reputation the US for very accuratge watches and during their hey day Patek Philippe was considier an upstart. Thus I am critical by applying later standards.
That all stated, they are excellent watches and made without regard to cost. Because they were so expensive and well regarded, most surviving exampels are in very good shape becasue they were only worn for special occasions. I have seen some badly worn bow setting mechansms but it is hard to fault this after over 100 years since production.
Potter amd Fasoldt broke new ground and made very original watches. Jurgensen was too conservative for me.
BTW Albany then as now has some very rich people living there and Fasoldt could sell very expensive pieces locally both straight retail and "bespoke".
