Rumours...rumours...rumours, but ...
... indeed Jerome Lambert stated in an interview with Christophe Roulet
earlier this year that JLC aims to apply the Extreme LAB technology to their
watches and „will go on producing six new calibres a year.”
As the RDM is the last not revamped watch in the Master Control series
powered by a movement that goes back to the 80s, it could be a natural
choice to apply parts of the LAB technology to an all new RDM movement.
For the case, dial and hands - well, I do not believe that we will be able to
stop JLC from "harmonising".

2008 RDM
Well with rumours of the demise of one of the most beautiful watches ever made, one has to wonder what JLC might announce in their traditional Autumn fest. The only remaining original Master Series that has not been Magalied or shall I say "revamped" is t...

... of course! I liked the old Geographic better than the new one and I also prefer dauphine hands to the ones JLC currently uses in their Master Control series. Moving with the times may not be a bad thing in general, but one should be carful not to go w...
Harmonsied watches
I agree with you Christian about unnecessary excess in the case. I have a 37mm Ø vintage memovox and I find it quite beautifully proportioned and I think a watch sized at 40/41mm is just about as big as any watch needs to be. In saying that, I do like the...
Harmonisation and proportions
I agree about the hands I much prefer dauphine to dagger. I think the new Geo is overdone, and yes I've seen it in the metal - all that was needed was not to apply the 9-12-3 numbers, it's those that Wisemoth (I think) pointed out that make it look like a...
That's my position too....
Hi Tim, I share your point about the thickness of the bezel and hope that the current proportions of the current Master RDM would be preserved. Actually my next JLC is going to be 42mm and it fits my wrist and my eye perfectly, but I would not buy one of ...
