It took me some time to appreciate it.
At the contrary of you, I much prefer the technical and colder look of the Titanium version.
I love the filiation with the E.L 1 which is one of my modern dream watch, from JLC, even if the II is simpler, technically speaking.
It is also muuuuch more affordable.
Yes, I would well see you with a " II "!
Thanks for the " in the real " report, Anthony!
Best,

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 chronograph is smoking hot!
I stopped by the JLC Beverly Hills Boutique last week was lucky enough to see the new limited edition Extreme Lab 2 Chronograph which finally hit the retail channel. They had the 200 piece limited edition rose gold version, and I immediately fell in love ...

Love that piece
Love that piece, surprised there are still a few avaialble. Have you spotted any others available at the AD?
I got the call to come see this watch
but Nicolas (from the boutique) 'claimed' that if I did not come see it instantly, it would be sold. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. this was two-three weeks ago. I kind of felt he was hard selling me--although with a professional manner, and i did appreciate the call. I ...
Another shot taken at the Grande Maison,
Along with the " 1 "... The only place I know where you can see these 2 monuments side by side.... Best, Nicolas ...
I can understand you. Each time I go to the Manuf, I ask them
To let me play with the EL 1. It will soon be my Jubilé, they shjould get the message! ;) Best, Nicolas
Totally cool
The ti version is really outrageous and classic at the same time--being ti it makes sense in this model. The RG is no doubt stunning as all h%ll, but rg makes no sense in this model. I'm excited to see JLC adapting some design elements of these watches to...
Agreed on Ti and RG. For me too, the Ti makes more sense.
But after all, it all depends on everyone's taste. Best, Nicolas
This is a superb piece.
I want to find the rose gold version to try on. Thanks for sharing pics...I'm very impressed with this piece.
I am sure it won't be too difficult to try the RG version.
I changed my mind on the EL II. From a certain indifference, I started to like it. A cool technical watch. Best, Nicolas
Extreme Lab 2
Would love to learn where you found the Ti version of the Extreme Lab 2 with the "Compressor" and "Extreme Lab" language on the bezel. The local boutique tells me that bezel is not available on the TI version. So, any leads would be appreciated. Philahora...
It was probably...
an exhibition model which I saw at the HK boutique when it was first introduced. Subsequent production pieces don't come with the writing on the bezel I think. cheers fernando
Only 1 calibre ?
Any idea if they dropped the 781 calibre and the anti magnetic escapement ?
Improved calibre
Yep, no 781 as per an email my AD read to me but they did state the calibre has been improved ... Ordered it in titanium ... Should have it by July ... It's gonna be my hublot unico all black, Rolex Dayton and Gmt master 2 all rolled into 1 ( and then som...
Excellent decision.
I didn't hear thre were some improvements from the proto, though. If your AD has more precise informations, I would be glad to read them. Anyway, the EL II is a very interesting watch, and it will certainly bring you a lot of pleasure. I must say that aft...
