Amazing! It was my second “real” watch purchase as well
Early spring 2005.
In 2004 I was researching what to buy for my fathers 60th birthday and I came across the Purists and timezone. I’ve been here ever since. Jaw, the JLC moderator at the time tempted me with the Compressor line and I completely fell for the Memovox. I still have it but haven’t worn it for about a decade.
The Master Compressor still makes me smile
The second ‘real’ watch I bought and the one that kicked off my collectimg journey back in 2004. Just look at those compressor crowns. What’s not to like - and you get an alarm as well. This watch still pushes my buttons. One of the great watches od the 1...

How cool is that?
And yes, i do remember Jaw. He was good! I was already JLC-biased as I had just inherited two Memovoxes from my late father, so no research for me. Bought it pre-owned in a cool watch shop in Brussels. Claus
I fully understand you 😊👍🏻⏰
I thoroughly enjoy mine and it did end up becoming my first JLC, like I imagine it would. The only thing I have to admit is that it’s not the most comfortable fit on my wrist but apart from that it’s a fantastic watch. Thanks for the nice shots! And it ap...
Agree. It’s much too thick for me these days
And I have learned that I have a bias towards thin watches. Designs wise it’s super cool. I think it represents it’s period very well. Big, and masculine design with some quirky details and complication…. I wonder how we perceive it in 10-15 years.
And designed by a woman 😁🦾
I think it’s one of those rare periods, where JLC pushes watch design, as opposed to following meekly behind trends set by others 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Fully understand the size and thickness, same issue here. Still try to wear it at least every second month 👍🏻 ...
Compressor Dualmatic was my 1st "real" watch back in summer 2005.
Sold a few years ago.
YES! And a line that should be refreshed and updated...
FYI: in your picture, your top, alarm-setting crown is out, even though the Compressor wingnut is closed. I have felt for years that JLC had a singularly-identifiable sport watch that nobody else had anything like. Please Jerome, pretty please...... -Dean...
Thank you. On purpose to silence the alarm.
And I am not much of a swimmer, so no water will come near this watch. Haha.
