My first JLC and a reminder of the Magali Metrailler era at the maison 😍 ...  

That red car is giving me 959 vibes!

All 4 cars in the shot are Teutonic 😉 There’s an air-Quattro directly underneath the wrist, a Phaeton next to it and a /8 Coupe in blue next to that 😊

1:18 car models being another collecting theme 😉👍🏻

The crowns are still a blast, so much more user friendly than a screw down one 👏🏻👍🏻

Very nice

So much about it that was right and innovative about it at the time (apart from the non-quick set date 🤷🏻‍♂️). And back then one made new pieces that were a homage to historical ones, rather than re-editions 😉

she also designed the Ballwatch & BMW collaboration. If only Ballwatch partner with Benz…

Not sure who she’s working for nowadays 🤷🏻‍♂️

Given that I wasn’t around at the time and when I first saw it it was modern but not shockingly so 😊

Excellent strap choice 👌🏻

When it was introduced I loved the look of it and lusted after it. Eventually I managed to get one and was delighted with the size, design of the dial, ease of operation of the alarm function. In fact everything about it was great. Unfortunately, for me, ... 

I agree with Nico. It was my first JLC. I still love it but man o man, that gold medallion really bothered me.

I wear it a little looser as a result 😊

Not a deal breaker but definitely not the most comfortable of watches I own 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

JLC were to revive/reissue the compressor line of watches there just might be a slale or two there for them.

If they don’t go all bananas with their idea of what these are then worth 😉

She, under Jerome's leadership, made some wonderful, cutting-edge products! I really hope JLC will re-visit the Compressors since no other brand has infringed on that water-proofing patent yet. -Dean

I never got one, but was at the edge multiple times. The Momovox could be my favorite, and yours look uber cool! 👌🏻

love the combo, can you tell us something about the strap?
