Which single feature of your JLC(s) you like most?
Can be a component, function, design element, finishing detail etc. – but you must choose just one In the case of my one and only, the RDM, it is the Power Reserve indicator (no wonder it names the watch ): I love to notice, from time to time, that the ha...
Marcelo, for me…
I have to say the memovox function! J For me that is the one feature that makes me feel special when I wear a JLC compared to other watches in my collection. I know there are other brands that produce alarm watches but for me a JLC Memovox is something sp...
the compressor keys
with the anti-shock system coming in second and the black/super dark brown dial coming in third Next would be the quick-change strap system...I should stop here, I could think of ten more things that I like about this particular JLC. This message has been...
Yes, what PeaceFrog said
PeaceFrog, you totally beat me to it on this one. When I read the original question/post, I must admit that the compressor keys came to mind immediately. On the EWC, the movement indicator/seconds subdial also is a favorite feature. But, like you, I could...
in direct light
especially sunlight, you can detect the slightest hint of brown when viewed at certain angles. The above photo does a good job at representing the color as it appears in sunlight at this specific angle. I don't know if this is because of the light bouncin...
I have recently noticed ...
that although I am not crazy about the look of the compressor keys, I have recently thought about the advantage over the screw down crowns. I have worn out the threads on many of my screw downs, on several brands of watches, making them difficult to lock....
For me, it's that school bell alarm sound...
The reason why I only care about alarm watches built by JLC and not any other brands. Blue...
Agreed, Blue.
When I think Alarm, I think JLC, as the complication is so closely linked to the brand...Since 1950. Best, Nicolas

Delicious!
That futurematic looks like a multi-layered cake, good enough to eat! ... and your groupshot of www's ... is simply killing me ... the hunt goes on for a Mark XII! Best, Rick
That's exactly the point with JLC
I think I cannot reduce JLC to a single feature, a single watch or even a single model line. And Nicolas did even not mention the Reversos! That was a tough one when I wanted to decide which JLC to get first. (I cannot get them all :-( ) Happily enough I ...
I want to thank YOU ALL who’ve been replying to the original post!
It's been really nice reading your opinions on the most special JLC feature Even though, as many of you stated, it's a hard task to pick just one up when talking JLC... Keep ‘em coming Marcelo
Don’t know why this reply ended up here…
I posted as a reply to the "root" post but it does not show where it should...
i see. nice to meet you here, Bruce Ma :-)
"Ma" is a relatively rare surname among all Chinese names. now we have two "Ma" sharing the common interest here. stefan
The Reverso feature
I consider the Reverso feature is the most unique feature that JLC has. Best regards, Baxter
i dont own any JLC's except an Atmos, but the modern alarm sound is the best
very correctly descibed as a school bell. i have an intention to buy one some day as it sounds so good. best Graham
My choice
