Cool piece. IMO the master compressor series is underappreciated...
...especially the first generation pieces (including the MCM). The Master Compressors are a functional 41.5mm with reasonable thickness, yet they still have good wrist presence for those to whom that's important. The compressor keys are very convenient, much more so than wind down crowns. And the watches look like nothing else out there (yet still look good!). Unlike so many other sport watches, the Master Compressors aren't derivatives of the Rolex Submariner or the Royal Oak et al. I sure love mine...
Cheers,
John
Midweek choice - just some shots from the Master Compressor Memovox..
Hello, everybody ! Just thought to share 2 quick pics of a timepiece, we do not see here often.. I even would call it an underestimated model, still below the radar, in a way.. r If you don't like to know a bit more about the tic-tac, you may go directly ...
More and more appreciation for this watch.
Now that I own the Amvox One and the TT Polaris 68, I thought, many times, about closing the " journey into time " with this one. This one I had, in 2003 or 2004, and that I sold some two years after. A Watch I miss... You are Lucky to own one, my friend....

+1 on all you said ..Thx for your nice words & kind looking.. Also nice to know..
.. that we both share the affection vs our MCM's ! Continue to wear yours in the best of your health ! Best, hs
Thanks, although...
Re-reading what I wrote, its certainly most clear to construe my words as if I owned the MCM, but I don't...instead, I have the Master Compressor Chrono, which I love very much. Cheers, John
Great post. HS
All great points, and a real fun watch. Since I have a soft spot for blue dials, I was fortunate to land the platinum version. I also love the alarm sound. Here is a shot to accompany yours Best, Joe ...
When we meet, try to bring it with you, please. A Photo session of this rare bird...
would be great! Best, Joe. Nicolas
Joe, Thx for the nice sentiment, kind words + pic !.. My Best in return !! :)
So, continue to wear yours in the best of your health ! Cheers, hs
Time Has Vindicated Magali...
Hi hs, This has been a welcome overview and refresher on a watch and a series that I love. Judging by the enthusiastic response of the forum, it seems I'm not alone. Considering how much resistance these designs faced on debut (and you can still find thes...
I well remember these times where the welcome was shy, to say the least.
And I am, like you, very happy to see that Magali's vision has been awarded and recognized, after all these years. Yes, it is a very special Watch, which is unique in the category. And the beginning of a very nice adventure, too. I will try to find someth...
Hello, Tim.. What a nice write-up of your perceptions, feelings and "raison d'étre" .. :))
+1 on practically all you said & commented !! And yes, although I had started my JLC-safa with Reverso(s) and the " regular" Master Series, with Master Moon & M Geographic, the later addition to theJLC portfolio with TT Polaris, Amvox 1, etc, also for me ...
Fantastic shots! I love this watch. I don't know if
I could pull off wearing it, but my God, what a great design!
Thx for your nice words & kind looking !.. All the Best ! :)).. And
Yes, sometimes, she kind of sticks to ones wrist, because it's indeed difficult to put her into the box again !.. - Funny, that she is a piece which grows in/on you, in a way.. Again, thanks and my Best, hs
