Happy anniversary, Nicolas! :)
Huge congrats to the three years!
What a great post of a great watch!
I understand your feeling for this watch, it’s a totally amazing 
Every time I had a chance to hold one in my hands (unfortunately only a few times) I am amazed by all the stunning details.
And the sound – THE SOUND!
Every time I hear the beautiful chime, a slime comes to my face
In my opinion the TI version is the most beautiful one.
One day (unfortunately far from now) I will have to get a Mintue Repeater!!!
Vlad my friend, you really know which buttons to push to torment a poor guy like me!
Please continue!

JLC Titanium Master Minute Repeater: 3rd Anniversary.
- INTRODUCTION - There are a few watches which can be considered as " watches for Life " when a Collector thinks about his collection. Some Time Keepers are getting old faster than we thought, as they loose their original appeal, hence, their power of att...
I think this is the entire combination of complications which shoked me the most, Cookies.
And the sound, too, associated to this very particular look. One of these watches which gave me the strongest feeling... Best, Nicolas
Fantastic post. I can feel your intense love for this watch!
And great pictures too. Best Dirk
Love is even bigger when you build a story with your watch, indeed.
A faithful companion and witness of my very happy or sad days... Best, my friend. Nicolas
fabulous post
about a fantastic watch. Thank you very much. The sound is lovely too! Hope you have many happy years in store with it, Andreas
Just love the detail!
Damn this details; if this would be your only watch, you'd never be bored now would you. I just love these complicated watches JLC makes. Probably never will own one, but just looking at it is fine for now. And what a contrast between the busy and still b...
I could easily live with this watch, only.
In fact, I tested it as I wore the MMR the most in these 3 last years. There is som uch to discover and to appreciate! Best, and thanks for your nice comments, my friend. Nicolas
Happy anniversary, Nicolas! :)

Torments are my speciality, Blomman... :)
But who could complain? As I explained, I made a big selection among these marvels. And the JLC MMR was the closest to my tastes and dreams. Love at first sight... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Mesmerising
Nicolas, even after the passage of time, this MMR is still mesmerising. Let us not forget the elegance and beauty of the straight-sided 3, 6, and 9 numerals as well (to my eyes anyway). Best, J.
Yes, JatG...
The funny, amazing, and great thing is that there are so many details that each of them may be a reason to love the whole watch, and to be each of us favourite detail. To be seen in the flesh! Thanks, my friend. Nicolas
Truly an exceptional piece of wrist art...
...wear it always in the best of health. N
Superb post of a superb watch...
with an unusual look, and great pics too. Happy anniversary, I am sure you'll enjoy your 'watch for life' for many more years. Thanks for sharing, Goh
Super fitting "'Lord of the Rings" caption
Seriously, JLC made a truly impressive statement with this and other fine watches of its caliber. Thank you for the post. Ruckdee
I had the chance to try a very sober platinum VC Minute Repeater, yesterday...
The MMR is a word apart. 2 different schools, IMO. I fell in love with the VC, too, but it is another world financially speaking, too. There is something special about these JLCs. Not in terms of finish, as you can find evne better, but in terms of spirit...
Already 3 years?
A beautiful MR for sure but what's more important is the voice of the watch.No recent MR I believe has a more pleasurable,distinctive & audible chime than this one.I went back to the boutique 3 times to play with it as I couldn't get it out of my head whe...
" The voice of the watch "...
That was my main cirteria when I was on to choose MY Minute Repeater. I tried several, and went back to the JLC, for this reason. Loud and rich...That's how I would describe it. I would perfectly see such a watch in your laready amazing collection, Fernan...
Congrats, Vlad!
Kisses to your MMR! It has been a faithful companion to you these three years, I know. I'm so happy that you are still enjoying this watch. I love the melding of new, modern concepts and forward-thinking design with a complication from yesteryear (With th...
Nicely put, Daos.
You expressed very well my sentiments about this MMR. A keepr for the next Vlad Dracul Generations, for sure! Best, Sister. Nicolas
Happy Anniversary ...
to both of you Thanks for sharing your pleasure in such a nice report. Oliver
Wow...
this watch is really a keeper! Wish you a great 4th year with this beauty! stere
Thanks for sharing Amanico...
reading your post dripping with love for this magnificent piece is enough to soothe the personal pain and regret I have for not snapping this piece up when I had the chance. Nevertheless, I wish for your dreams to come true, which is to share many more an...
You know, Rob, we all missed trains...
And sometimes it is more painful... What I love a lot is that it is not a too serious watch, and not a too show off one. Fun, elegant, cool, but you immediately know or feel that it is an extraordinary watch. Daos said it all, and much better than I could...
Oh my dear friend ...
you just keep rubbing it in ... I can take it .... I can take it.... LOL! and The Torquemeter what can be more appropriate to have on Torquemada's watch. Great post full of love and passion and I can perfectly understand it after you ENGAGED that MR for f...
Now that is a very special use for the Torquemeter...
A Torture meter which was made just for Torquemada. Oh La Vache...Wasn't it the expression you were looking for? I will not forget to bring it with me, my friend. I never go without it! See you soon. Nicolas
Happy 3rd Anniversary..
It's a really beautiful watch.. I had a chance to handle this beauty in one of JLC's boutique.. I really think that this is one of the most innovative design for a minute-repeater watch and originally modern. Congratulations again Nicolas for having this ...
Happy anniversary
Hi Nicolas, I'm fascinated by minute repeaters like many of us. They remain unreachable in general, and especially the most tempting ones. Still Jaeger-LeCoultre with this watch managed to offer one of the few best at avery competitve level. Furthermore i...
Even above the Géophysic, Jerome?
Wow, that means a lot! If I had to play at " What is your Top 5 JLC modern watch ", I would certainly say that it is in the Top 3. It reperesents a certain vision of JLC, and I like it a lot. Best, my friend. See you soon. Nicolas
Beautiful and stunning timepiece.
Love the tone of the Ti pieces, it really sounds "different". The even cooler touch. Thanks for sharing, Nicolas. Cheers, amigo. Vte
Merveilleux!
Nicolas, Thanks for sharing those stunning and very detailed pics and a great review. I wish to you and the MMR decades of happy anniversaries. Cheers, Nilo
A beautiful watch indeed!
A beautiful watch, a great sounding minute repeater, in a fantastic metal that further optimizes sound transmission. This is certainly the most fun minute repeater that I've ever seen. It is also the only water-resistant minute repeater that I've ever see...
A Minute Repeater designed to be used on a daily basis.
That is the most important, to me, when it comes to such spohisticated complications. If it is only to wear them in some exceptional events, let's say that Lifie is not only made of exceptional events, and that your pleasure will be limited. Now, if you c...
They must have been
3 glorious years together ...beautiful,fantastic creation,and a poetic equally beautiful post to celebrate it, Congratulations my friend I wish you 100 more years together. Mo
Well, 100 more years, you will have to ask tis to my daughter! :)))
Thaks a lot, Mo. Best, my friend. Nicolas
I wish you to get one, Huei.
Keep it secret, but the first day I got it, I spent one entire week of sleepless nights in my bathroom to play with it... My wife was on to throw it by the window, as she heard " Ding Ding Ding Dongs " all night long. Best, Nicolas
Happy Anniversary...
I was not familiar with JLC and this was a wonderful read. I can certainly agree that this TMM is a keeper. WOW is right for this piece. Congrats! Love the 15day+torque to help with the accuracy. Love the open dial, upon first view, it may be busy. Howeve...
There are so many details, on this watch ...
That it takes a long time to fully appreciate it, its beauty and complexity. And I don't even speak about the time needed to take correct pics! Thanks for your kind comments! Best, Nicolas
Thanks.....
...is only a small word for the effort and passion you have put in presenting your love and your mutual 3rd anniversary. Breathtaking post by an means. It's truly a stunning piece, that I fully understand you use often as your "daily beater" I wish both o...
You know, Hans, what makes me love this watch at this point is ...
Certainly the fact that we both lived many moments togetther, mostly good, by the way. I don't get those who keep their watches sealed, or even worst ...Double Sealed. But to each his own... Best, my friend. And thanks a lot for your nice words. Nicolas
Happy anniversary....
....... Seems im late for the party as usual But huge congratulations Nicolas on owning such a magficant watch. I can totally understand your enthsiasm. Thank you for making this fantastic review I really enjoyed reading it. I love and enjoy this kind of ...
@Christian
"Finding the watches that you (almost) cant live your life without, is the true theme for me." I totally agree with your theme! Greatings from Copenhagen (right now ) Oliver
Hi Oliver
I hope you are enjoying your stay in CPH the weather should be great - Im in the contryside these days but visiting germany next week take care Christian
Emotion... That' it!
Wrist tests are, in my opinion, more interesting than others, because you have a certain distance, compared to a " 1 day " Test, where you have to take pics of trhe watch, understand how it works, its technical specificities, and so on. Here, you take the...
thanks Nico
that is really something to look forward to summer greetings from Denmark and with my feet up all the best to you too Christian
happy for you
good report mate, wear in good health still looking and waiting for a afforadable minute repeater meself
Well, you have some possibilities
The POortuguse from IWC is one, this JLC is another. I had both, and ended with only one... Best, Nicolas.
agreed
agreed...at my price bracket, i could prob afford the IWC "only", but i shall resist and build up my reserves
IMO, the Ti MMR is worth the extra effort...
But it remains an impressive amount of money, indeed. Therefore, to find one is not an impossible mission, but a tough one. Would it be interesting if it was that easy? Best, Nicolas
I was waiting for this post, Nicolas
...and my own vacation made me wait even longer. First of all, what wonderful new photos of the brilliant MMR! I love the Morrocan desert photo, especially. The observation about the choice of titanium, chosen both by JLC and AP, is yet another reason I a...
Well, Respo ...
The combination of these complications, + the Titanium case, + the sound of this Minute Repeater=An awesome watch. I have to admit that the AP in titanium is a nice choice, too. Very simple looking, discrete, but original with its titanium case, and sound...
Great homage
Hi Nicolas, You wrote a great homage to a great watch. What a detail in all of the photographs. My congratulations on your third anniversary. I just love the color depth in both the dial as well as the rear side. That rear side is one of the most loudest ...
What is a concept watch?
That is an interesting question, Rik, which would deserve a dedicated post... To me, it is the expression of a certain innovation. To associate the Minute Repeater to some aesthetical and horological originalities. An open dial, a titanium case, a Torquem...
Tough question
Tough question, but a good one. I think your explanation sounds right. Concepts move away from predefined paths. Or they combine innovations with original elements. Your MMR is a good example. Before you called the Amvox2 a concept watch as well. Another ...
