That looks great Tinker
I understand what you mean, my thoughts are the same. The master compressor line is not for everyone but I think it was a well conceived cross over between a sportswatch and a dress watch. Perhaps that's also a part of the problem that it's not pure one or the other. But we don't care. We love our watches and that's all that really matters.

So where are we?
Can you guess where I am with my Master Compressor Memovox? I have been travelling a lot lately. My go-to travel watch in my collection is my old trusted love, the Master Compressor Memovox. It was also my first JLC. It is very versatile as it is rugged b...
I don't know where you are Christian...
But I do share all your feelings for the Master Compressor Memovox! It is also my go to watch, my beater that never falls out of love! Best Blomman...

All good! :)
All good, my friend! And from the looks of your photos, you are too! Will put a rubber strap on my MCM now - ready for Summer activities! Best Blomman
Great idea
The quality of that strap is really nice and it's very comfortable. Take care my friend Christian
I don't know where you are, but I know where you will soon be. ;)
I would not confront the MC Memo and the Amvox I. The Targets are different, even if they both have in common a modern expression of the Polaris. The weird elements of design ( mainly the crown at 10 and the large alarm window ) are the signature of their...
Indeed so you do
My friend It will be fantastic to see you soon... You are right that the MCM and amvox 1 are different but the reason behind putting them side by side, is that they came with only a few years apart adm where offered in the collection at the same time, so ...
hmmm
don't know where u are-- But I am wearing your watch's close cousin myself today. Humid here, so also the rubber strap. That woman sure could design a watch... she will be sorely missed!...
BTW
My GMT is a watch that I think is woefully under-appreciated. There is a balance, elegance, as well as a contemporary feel that I think makes it something quite special....

Minimum 250 km north of the Polar Circle
In those areas you do not know this time of the year if it's day or night. And you need a water proof watch if you happen to drop to the river/lake/sea while fishing. Best, Kari
You are right!
I have been living now for 3 years in Estonia and have forgotten that we don't have so SMALL buildings in Finland. Anyhow, in two weeks I'll drive to northern Lapland to enjoy the midnight sun. I might also be tempted to take a couple of watch pictures at...
you have almost nailed it, guys :-)
Because you are so good I will let you guess the rest and give you this pic to help. Foversta, your analysis is quite correct. - It is a copy of Arch de Triomphe. our "guide" made a great deal of effort to explain that it is 6 meters taller than the origi...
MC Line
The Master Compressor is what originally introduced me to the brand. I am not a dress watch guy, and while I love some of JLCs tool watches, those weren't for me either (tho I now have an Amvox 2). The Compressor was "just right" for me. Can dress it up o...
I think some of the Master Compressor will have the " Heure de Gloire ".
Especially the Memovox... Yes. It seems that it is already the case, if you look at the evolution of the market for this watch. Best, Nicolas
Hmm,you might be right
It has developed a bit. I just think it , it's to quirky to have big appeal, unless you are in to collecting memovoxes. But it has some unique qualities that, from my wearing experience is worth taking notice of Thanks for your thoughts, Nicholas.
I used it in Shanghai last month too! A great travel watch wit GMT and Alarm.
Here a pic taken at Peace hotel. cheers PAt...
Hi Pat
Great company you keep there yes, isnt it great as a travel watch what do you mean by GMT by the way? Thank you for sharing your pic Best Christian
The inner rotating bezel can be used as GMT function.
Or if you are not using the Alarm, the markings can be used as GMT function as well. Kinda like a triple timezone watch. cheers PAt
