A *tablespoon* of salt. Anecdotally, I've never seen a Polaris of any ilk "in the wild." I've seen MAYBE five Reversos.

I want to love JLC. I know they make excellent movements. Some of their watches are beautiful. IMO, they're currently kind of neither here nor there. By that I mean, it seems they put most of their eggs in the Reverso basket. Not many know about the Polaris line, or even the Master line. They don't make anything that I'd really want to wear (maybe the 39mm Master Moon Phase).

The masters is great. Just a bit too dainty for me. Love the duometre as well.
