Nicolas......
I thought that you were my friend.....
Why do you provoke me?
I love this watch (although I prefer the original version with the red accents)- the alarm is an excellent function and the strap changing!!!!!!
What can I say. I wish that all watches had this function- JLC please listne and apply it to all sport models and all alarm ones.
Every time I look at pictures, like now, I drool.... but every time I try it on, it simply does not fit my wrist (and I like big watches). Even my AD tells me that it does not fit right.... what to do..... and, you, Nicolas, provoke me.... tch tch tch
A beautiful watch and still very much under consideration......
True, we do not speak much of it on this forum and my bank account is appreciative of this
Cheers
E.W.A Tides of Time
Some here wanted to see this special Extrem World Alarm, so I received a call from the Paris JLC Boutique to inform me that it was here for some pics. That's true that we don't often speak of this model, I mean the current E.W.A. Maybe because it is a big...
Very good looking. Sporty with the blue accents.
It is a large watch, but the extra real estate allows the watch to have lots of information without looking crowded IMO. Thanks for the pictures!
Agreed, Michael
A lot of informations, but strangely, the dial is not that busy... Big but comfortable... A paradox watch! Best, Nicolas
Thank you for posting this, Nicolas
...and finally a wrist shot!!! Thanks espcially for that. You are correct that we do not often speak of the EWA, which is a shame. A previous request by me for wrist shots of the EWA yielded nothing, and I suspect that theEWA has taken on the status of a ...
Wow, Respo, that's an answer! :)
As you, I think that the EWA is a bit ignored, because of its place in the JLC family. The EWC, the Alarm watches, and just between, the EWA, which is unique because the association Alarm + World time is a grande premiere! THE EWC and the Alarm Watches ha...
This works very well
I think the toned-down grey effect of the titanium case works very well with this watch, and the blue markers set the design off very nicely. A very nice looking watch indeed. Thanks for sharing. Is this watch limited to 300 pieces? regards Bretta
My 2 favourites are the RG and this titanium version, indeed, Bretta
The combo titanium / black dial and blue touches is very appealing, to me. After, this is a matter of taste. As for the number of pieces in this LE, it is 350, not 300. Best, Nicolas

My pleasure, Pink Panther! :)))
That 's why watches are to be seen in the flesh, my friend. They may look ugly in pics and be very nice in the flesh, and vice et versa... And the wrist test is mandatory. I changed my mind on the EWA, even if I won't buy it, as I already own an ...Army o...
A beautiful watch...
...representing a very noble cause. Thank you Nicolas for the photographs. N
yep, looks great at your wrist but...
you have the art of taste, the perfect blend with your shirt... I'm not found of this huge watch, but I have to say that you're perfect for the argument. maybe your job, isn't it? LOL
LOLOL, Olivier
You'd better argue well, in my speciality... Well, I guess that it will depend on everyone's taste, with this watch. I don't see it as a consensual watch, and sometimes it is good! Best, Nicolas
More questions...
Is the alarm setting eaisier and more specific on this EWA than it is on the Memovox and Polaris models due to the side disks on the EWA v. the center disk arrow on the other models? Does the EWA alarm sound at the more accurate time than the other alarm ...
good questions....
but also how does the alarm sound compare to the Memovox or the Polaris? Cheers
memovox alarm to EWA
I had a chance to test the alarms of the EWA and my own MC Memovox. I handled the EWA at Tourneau in Pennsylvania so I can only assume it was the non-titanium edition, although it did have the blue face and blue indicators. I found the alarm on the EWA to...
Right,
The Alarm on the EWA is less strong than on the MC Memovox, but more crystaline, that is true. The Caliber is not the same, too. Thanks for this precision, and for your input. Best, Nicolas
Alarm sound of a Pam238
some may say that it’s not much to right home about but it’s my prrrreeecious Panerai gmt alarm pam238
Wow, that's quite a thread revival!
I own the Tides of Time model originally referenced in the thread... while some Panerai have used JLC movements, I'm pretty sure that your PAM 238 - a beautiful watch - used a GP-modified A. Schild caliber. BEst, Tim
EWA...
I love this model and it looks great with the blue accents and with the new style strap. As some of you know, this is a watch I am seriously considering as a future purchase. Thanks for posting Nicolas David
It's very tempting, isn't it David?
I mean it has a lot of the attributes of the EWC that we like AND it is an alarm!!! You already have the Memovox, however, so perhaps you are not as "desperate" as I am for an alarm. I like this version very much, but I am also very much in like with the ...
Thanks to you, David
It is for you and Respo that I did this post. And to give this piece a beginning of justice. As I said, I changed my perception of this watch, and it is true that the Titanium and the Rossi RG versions helped me a lot. Best, and good hunt, my friend. Best...
THANK YOU, Nicolas.
I appreciate your posting this for David and me especially. As you know, I have been deliberating over an alarm for some time. "Pick one already," I hear you say. I keep NOT choosing the AMVOX1, however many times I try it (once again on the wrist this we...
So, if I were you, I'd go on the Polaris, Respo
This one is such a classic, such a timeless piece that I wouldn't hesitate a second! Best, Nicolas
I thought you might advise that
And I cannot argue with your reasoning. I think I am close to making a decision. respo
Personally....
If prefer the EWA..... Sorry Nicolas, I knew your admiration for the Polaris but sometimes we have to disagree lol Cheers
In the end...
I think they are two entirely different watches sharing only the common alarm function, but even the implementation of the setting of the alarm is qute different on the two. I guess that is why in a perfect world, greedy Robert would have both! PinkPanthe...
Then...
may you get both and enjoy them hehehe Seriously though, if that is the case, then you should get the Polaris first as it is a limited edition and then get the other one Cheers
Very nice.
It seems all too often JLC (and others) are lumped into the category of ONLY producing more discreet and formal watches, and when something a little more brash and large comes out, it is dismissed as being impure. Why not do both!?
Well, Canonken,
I don't think JLC offers only discrete watches. Look, for example, at the Master Compressor Family, or at the Squadra WT. They are not really discrete watches, to me, or not really classics. But I do agree with you, why not both?!!! Best, Nicolas
I was more implying people associate JLC...
...with these classic pieces, and when something like this comes along, it can throw people off of their perceptions of what the brand offers, hence the luke-warm reception. I like how JLC does everything from time-only ultra-thin pieces, to grand complic...
I'm not crazy about writing on the back. But the watch looks great.
And it seems to fit your wrist very nicely. Did you intentionally wear a blue shirt to match it? Ruckdee
Quite interesting post Nico, thank you.. Only downside for me is, that the post does not..
