is it realistic with a 200m water resistance capability?
also, as mentionned earlier, i really love the super high priced JLC which are amazing demonstrator of their skills. The aim being not to own one but to make people dream.
For example, the duomètre à grande sonnerie leaves me speachless. Amazing!!!
JLC, keep on making us dream!
All the best,
Etienne
Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor Memovox, the start of a revolution.
When it was unveiled in 2002, the Master Compressor Memovox (please allow me to call it MCM ) was a revolution in the traditional ( by all meanings ) JLC usual landscape. - A first sports watch, well, since the diving series from the end of the Fifties ti...
Fantastic watch!
My daily beater for many years! And on my wrist yeasterday....! Best Blomman ...
Yes, indeed, a strong design piece.. Avantgardistic but with harmony & w pronounced presence & appeal ! :))
Still, I love & wear mine with great pleasure ! Also I like the patent & characteristic of the compressor crowns which give her an unmistakeable look. These crowns with seal & gasket & clear white/red markings are a functional signature, apart from being ...
Add to that, it can also handle ...
Hard booze drinks: An old picture, from 2011. I made a mistake and let it go. Currently it is owned by a dear friend. Someday he sells me back, who knows. Thanks for the memories. Cheers, Nilo ...
it's been a while since I hadn't thought about this watch
One of the first JLC I had tried, an almost love at first glance. Why I didn't buy it? Because a friend of mine who introduced me to JLC owned one...
I moved and we had lost sight
I can see where you're going with , and I have often thought . but I do not want 2 watches from the same collection since I already own a MC GMT
I totally understand your point. I do the same with movements...
With some incoherences, from my side. For example, I won several Cal 956: TT Polaris 65, 68, NSA, TT DSA US... Tssss, rules and exceptions... Best, Nicolas
Are you trying to get me back on my pulpit to preach my "Master Compressor Sermon" again?
Mr. Riedo (through Amanico), Here is a watch family that COULD become a sport marketing wunderkind if MJLC would do the following: (1) Make ALL Compressors 42mm (2) Make them all with a Compressor Crown at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock (immediately identifiable...
Aaah, Father Dean... ;)
I agree with your point 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7. As for Point 5, I never felt the crocodile strap was " at its place " on a Master Compressor. I would rather have a cordura band, a rubber, and why not, a bracelet for the fans. As for Point 6, I don't feel the re...
Let's hope...
that has the same vision with you Dean, for the upcoming sport line. Best, Yiannis
The only thing I know is that they are working on something...
And that we may have several offers for different budgets. For the rest, I know nothing, and have no idea... Best, Nicolas
Pivoting case!?
I cannot wait to see what JLC bring with the new line ... I have always been a sucker for the pivoting chronograph case. I wonder what else they could do with it? I hope they do something mad and push the creativity!
Good question!
I love the high level priced pieces as they tend to house and show the most innovative and complex developments which are only ever a dream for me. I would like to see something really concept and expensive which shows JLC continuity of producing some of ...
Please JLC a pivoting chronograph case!
I LOVED it on the AMVOX and am sure JLC can innovate even further with their mad creativity. Lets pray this is what they are working on!

Thats the word I was looking for ... thank you Etienne!
'Dream Watches' .... keep them coming JLC. Perhaps a sophisticated dream sports watch!?
To go back to the 'dream watches' subject, what i love with JLC in general...
... is that despite calling their products "luxury watches" (well they are not cheap for something that gives time), they are innovative, they look for new technologies and regularly challenge themselves technically. They also make some models in steel wh...
I cannot disagree with you, Etienne. And as for the Amvox II, yes, you should have an eye
On it. That is one of the most affiordable concept watch I know. Best, Nicolas
OK, skip point 6...
and make point 5 the bracelet and the rubber strap! Mr. Riedo! Help!!!
There should be a "LIKE" button some where for me to click
except for number 5 with a bracelet or rubber for a more practical sport usage
Definitely on my wanted list
With a high priority, too - hope to bag one within two years In exactly the combination you have shown, with the honey coloured strap. Tried it on once and seemed to fit like a glove but the seller wanted what I felt was too much, so I did not pull the tr...
Yes, steel with leather strap
In the honey brown colour you have shown. Seen one in WG but not sure it ideally matches the character of the watch...
I can imagine the reactions back then...
That's why it is always a good thing to remember these times when judging very original novelties. Very particular, very bold move with these MCMs and, aside from the aesthetics, the technical features were fully effective. Are you making this post as a p...
Agreed, the Compressors were a great step forward for JLC IMO
When everyone else was jumping into the larger-sized sports watch craze with pieces heavily influenced by the Royal Oak, the Submariner/Sea Dweller, and/or the Panerai pieces, JLC took a bold step and came up with a wearable (41.5mm) sport watch with a un...
Well, I asked if the Tribute Saga will go on, it doesn't seem so.
Maybe it is time to work on the sports line? Interestingly, I was not very fan of some elements of design, such as the large circular alarm window on the MC Memovox. But I got used to it after a while. I miss them. Best, Nicolas
Well, I have the feeling JLC needs to make a pause on that matter...
Unless they are willing to release a TT Futurematic? No, just kidding. Best, Nicolas
still hoping
There's a sport line up coming from JLC. Still wish the MCEW was a little thinner. That 2 me is one of the best looking sport watches made.
That will happen, and quite soon, I guess. But how it will look like and what kind of
Complication, that will remain unanswered till the beginning of next year, I think. Best, Nicolas
