Missed your post José, but still; many congrats
I've got mine also a few months ago and guess what; it also came from Spain! Maybe you Spanish guys are fed up with this watch and put them for sale on the internet 
. I didn't see yours though; was it for sale a long time? Anyway mine is operating great now. I don't know if the winding is alright; I winded it manually yesterday morning and this morning it stopped. Probably didn't wind it enough then? As you probably read my watch was serviced at JLC, so it should run problem free now.
A question to you José; what sound does it make when you wind manually with the 4h positioned crown? Mine makes a zzzzzz like sound. Completely different from my RDM which doesn't make any sound whilst winding it manually. Just another caliber I guess?
Many congrats on this beauty José and may you wear it trouble free in the best of health.
Best,
Starman
Ring, ring; Wake me up Master
My dear fellow purists, A few months ago some of you might remember me choosing between the RDM and the Amvox I. One of you guys adviced me to look for a Master Reveil, which is a good combination of the two watches you mentioned. Well of course this watc...
If there is a watch with a Story behind, the Master Reveil is indeed
One of those, Starman. Think a bit about it, my friend. For over 55 years, JLC produced Alarm Watches! And the Master Reveil is,n as you said, the last Alarm Time keeper ( well, let's precise in a dressy watch ), which is the heir of this great tradition,...
Fantastic watch!
Hi, Congratulations on getting (back) such a marvel! I love this Master Reveil and I definitely lack it in my Memovox collection! My four black dial babies need a silver lady to join them! Cheers Dje
Rotor noise?
I am a bit interested in this rotor noise as I have read others describe it as well. As I have understood it is also present in the newest incarnation of alarm watches with the calibre 956 (polaris re-edition, navy seal alarm ... and possibly the new Amvo...
918 no such "sound"
can feel the smooth winding. It is the matter of production in different decade.
Actually Rick
I talked about a hell of a noise but lets say it is noticable pretty much. With the RDM it is clearly rotor noise. Maybe with the Reveil it is more due to the alarm function. Best, Starman
Oops. do you actually mean...
There may be two soucres which generate sound 1) the hammer for alarm function. 2) or the noise in question that from the rotor you mean For 1), the hammer will be free if no power in the alram mainspring, it may hit the gong. However, once the alarm main...
You scare the hell out of me....
LOL LOL LOL Well, the wizards at JLC just serviced the poor thing, and it performs outstanding, so I am not worried a bit. Lets say that every time I hear my watch I know it works. Now you again. By the way the Polaris houses the 956 movement no? I don't ...
That's great
It great to hear yours returned watches is up to your happiness while I have no problem of my watches as they are normal and as expected. Hope to see more photo on your nice Master Reveil. Have the colour of luminous dots on yours turned yellowish? Cheers
Colour of luminous dots
Forgot to answer; no they did not turn yellow. I saw some earlier examples that did; maybe they started to use other stuff later? Best, Starman
a white stone, huge step in the history of watches
thnks so much gent for your post. a pleasure, such a nice pix! cheers. olivier
That’s a wonderful piece, Starman, but where is…
…the RDM? I would love to see your pictures of it! BTW, the salesman who sold me my RDM had a Master Reveil Marcelo
Thanks Marcelo
Please check out an earlier post with some pictures of my RDM. For being such a great RDM fan I missed your reply on my post last December I will take some pictures of the RDM and Reveil together. They are a great couple; the RDM being a bit more dressy t...
Congratulations!
Wow! That is really a beauty! I love the new strap you have on it. The MR is quite dressy looking to me, and it is a shame that JLC no longer produces a dressy alarm watch such as this. Congratulationson finding it. Let it ring! respo
I've got one too! Changing impressions
Hi all! Congratulations for your watch! I got one like yours (circa 2003) 2 months ago but I've just realized this weekend that the manual winding operated by the 4-hour crown just don't work! I was trying to start it last saturday and it didn't started t...

Only two days for sale!
Hi my friend! Mine was too little time for sale! Let me tell you the story: By December I saw a Master Revèil at the dealer's internet webpage; My heart started beating fast but my head told me to take a cold strategy: I should wait to see Christmas over ...
I don't know about this dealer LOL
Maybe he has a small factory making only Master Reveil watches. This is almost to much coincidence Well my dear friend welcome aboard on the Reveil team. Let us be happy to have found our gems. It seems a lot of our friends are still looking for these rar...
