It looks like.....
a Memovox...... it has an M on the back......
Besides it is only logical that JLC would bring it back....
It is a terrific mechanism, very unique to JLC
(I know that there are other alarms but not to the quality & sound of JLC- the sonatais
an exception but the price)
Very successful too- look at the polaris.....
Am I right???
Cheers
Nothing against a small Teasing?
When I was at the Manufacture, I was allowed to wear for one day a 2010 novelty... And to take some pics. This watch will be presented at the next SIHH, but I'm authorized, in exclusivity, to speak about it before this date. Who said that the " C " of JLC...
Nothing particular
just one of your macros reminded me about Geomatic case back my second guess would be Geophysic LOL Best ... you teaser Damian
I believe I said the "C" in JLC stands for cruelty --
...but "Nicolas" is simply another name for the Devil, cruelty's Administrator. LOL. I think it is a next generation of the Chonometre in Master Compressor Form -- a corss between the Extreme LAB and the Geophysic that are on the mountain ascent right now...
Master Control for sure ...
And the Geophysic Globe is obviously there ... but instead of "Polar" year 2010 will be the international year of "Biodiversity". Maybe there will even be a "World heritage" connection? Obviously a stab in the dark from me, again ... Cannot wait for Janua...
I'm impatient, too, as I couldn't see all the novelties
In fact I could only see this one! Best, my friend. Nicolas
There are a lot of watches which would deserve a coming back, PP... The Memo
is one of them, indeed. Best, Nicophysic

Master Memovox.....
then......lol I guess it will be re-launched another year..... Cheers
Well, given the Manufacture's own admonition...
of a new Extreme variant climbing the mountain along with the Geomatic and the LAB, I'm guessing a smaller version (42-44mm) of the Extreme series, but w/o world time, perhaps a chrono, possibly with deeper water test (300m?). That's all I've got. -Dean
For sure, we'll soon see a watch like this, Dean.
But is it this watch? Best, Nicolas
I think C stands for
Chapter ring - as it stands out here around the globe. It is not on the current Master series, nor on the Geomatic. It is also a bit odd in that it doesn't look like a minute chapter ring (60 per 360 degrees). It looks about 120 per 360 degrees. A "C"ompa...
I meant not on the watch face
but the engraving on the back. Isn't the chapter ring around the globe a clue? best, stitch
Damn, I forgot to answer...
No, the Chapter ring is not a clue, my friend. As for the compass, yes, on the case bac, it would be great!
Ah ah ! A teasing !
The best way to frustrate a lot of JLC fans ! Eh eh ! Well, I have no idea, that's the sad true ! Fr.Xavier
LOL, FX... At the contrary, I think that most of the JLC fans will be happy!
As I am! Best, Nicolas
Very cruel indeed..
Very cruel indeed Nicolas. My guess, or maybe wish, is a M C Memovex Geographic in Titanium, someting between 42mm and 44mm. It is my best shot with the clues you showed us. It never hurts to dream.Cheers, Mark V
No that Cruel, Mark, because I will end the teaser soon
Interesting answer, Mar...But it is not that. Best, Nicolas
It is rumoured that...
Geophysic re-edition will be unveiled at future SIHH 2010 (or may be even earlier I think "C" is for Chronometer that legendary 1958 Geophysic undoubtedly had been present
Interesting, but be careful with rumors...
This moment is very propice to rumors... Wait a bit, please, the answer ( and it won't be a rumor ) will come soon. Best, Nicolas
I won't ruin the teasing....
I won't ruin the teasing, but I played with the mystery watch today, and all I can say is I know that many people will be pleased by this upcoming launch (including myself...but this is maybe too much of a hint if I say so ! ). All you have to do is be pa...
Well, Nico teasing again......:o)
with a little help from Franco Cologni I have narrowed it down to 2 choices.... 1) The Geophysic Chronometer originally from 1959 - stunning, simple and elegant and certainly a look that is missing from the current line up. 2) Memovox originally from 1950...
That was.....
also my guess but I think that Nicolas, indirectly, said no..... pity.... Cheers
Me? Teasing AGAIN, Andy? :)
The Geomatic, the Future Matic and a few others can also be considered... Best, my friend. Nicolas
LOL.....more hints needed....
I did consider those too but I think I was really hoping for an alarm piece not associated with anybody else. A sneak hint of the dial would be nice...???!!! Pretty please... Yours my cheeky friend, Andy.
Master control
On the first picture, we can see "control" So it' a master control Simple
It's easy then:
The 40mm Master Control Memovox. It'll have an added, 'new' feature. Tell us more about this, please.
I know !!! I went to the Boutique, they told me...
Just kidding, I don't know anything. You're a lawyer I'm a liar
besides the Chapter ring there is also
a couple of planets in the logo that are not present on the back of the Geomatic. Sun and moon perhaps? "Astromatic"? "Astrophysic"? Equation of time? "Equamatic"? "Equaphysic"? with some of the high tech stuff from the Lab thrown in? This message has bee...
planets and everything
I am afraid there is not much logic to search in the 'planet' design that we can see here.... Nice try though
no logic?
then check out the UN Moonstruck for a superb bit of planet action! Very, very cool stuff indeed.
Gotta guess it is...
Hi Nicolas, If the Future-matic was re-intoduced, that would be very cool. I like the balanced, simple dial. But if I had to bet money, I'd say the Geophysic Chronometer. It is also such a beauty. I am hoping for a nice silver dial. I can't wait to learn ...
I'd like to see a kind of Future Matic!
Well the wait won't last an eternity before I post then answer! Best, Nicolas
So it's a Futurematic then...:o)
but with a crown as the back show's no sign of the futurematic winding system..!! Look forward to the final reveal...!!! Yours my friend, Andy.
embargo ?
Don't know if there is (was) an embargo, but the watch is already published in several places... up to you google experts to find it ;-)
Not an embargo, Clavi
JLC told me that I could post it as soon as I wanted. Since October. But once again, I preferred to make a post rather than posting a or several pics. Best, Nicolas
A little teasing/game......
is always good my friend.... By the way did anybody guess the right answer?? Looking forward to the unveiling.... Cheers
LOL, PP...Happy to know that you came back home safe! : )))
Unveiling soon! Best, Nicolas
It looks good....:o)
but look forward to your pics my photographer friend....always a treat... Andy.
My oh my
But i believe that this has GOT to do with the Geophysic expedition! Only thing i fear, it is remontage automatique! Damn! Stephen
It will be an automatic movement, Stephen, and it has nothing to do with the Himalaya.
End of the teasing in 2 days! Best, Nicolas
AHHHHHHHH!
So my worst nightmares come! Oh well, i will be looking forward to reading your post then about this novelty in any case! Merci! Stephen
How much longer? ;)
Am I the only one thinking it would be a good time to reveal some more details? Well, must be that I failed searching in google...
