When it was unveiled in 2002, the Master Compressor Memovox (please allow me to call it MCM ) was a revolution in the traditional ( by all meanings ) JLC usual landscape. - A first sports watch, well, since the diving series from the end of the Fifties ti...
Still, I love & wear mine with great pleasure ! Also I like the patent & characteristic of the compressor crowns which give her an unmistakeable look. These crowns with seal & gasket & clear white/red markings are a functional signature, apart from being ...
Hard booze drinks: An old picture, from 2011. I made a mistake and let it go. Currently it is owned by a dear friend. Someday he sells me back, who knows. Thanks for the memories. Cheers, Nilo ...
With some incoherences, from my side. For example, I won several Cal 956: TT Polaris 65, 68, NSA, TT DSA US... Tssss, rules and exceptions... Best, Nicolas
Mr. Riedo (through Amanico), Here is a watch family that COULD become a sport marketing wunderkind if MJLC would do the following: (1) Make ALL Compressors 42mm (2) Make them all with a Compressor Crown at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock (immediately identifiable...
I agree with your point 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7. As for Point 5, I never felt the crocodile strap was " at its place " on a Master Compressor. I would rather have a cordura band, a rubber, and why not, a bracelet for the fans. As for Point 6, I don't feel the re...
I cannot wait to see what JLC bring with the new line ... I have always been a sucker for the pivoting chronograph case. I wonder what else they could do with it? I hope they do something mad and push the creativity!
I love the high level priced pieces as they tend to house and show the most innovative and complex developments which are only ever a dream for me. I would like to see something really concept and expensive which shows JLC continuity of producing some of ...
also, as mentionned earlier, i really love the super high priced JLC which are amazing demonstrator of their skills. The aim being not to own one but to make people dream. For example, the duomètre à grande sonnerie leaves me speachless. Amazing!!! JLC, k...
... is that despite calling their products "luxury watches" (well they are not cheap for something that gives time), they are innovative, they look for new technologies and regularly challenge themselves technically. They also make some models in steel wh...
With a high priority, too - hope to bag one within two years In exactly the combination you have shown, with the honey coloured strap. Tried it on once and seemed to fit like a glove but the seller wanted what I felt was too much, so I did not pull the tr...
That's why it is always a good thing to remember these times when judging very original novelties. Very particular, very bold move with these MCMs and, aside from the aesthetics, the technical features were fully effective. Are you making this post as a p...
When everyone else was jumping into the larger-sized sports watch craze with pieces heavily influenced by the Royal Oak, the Submariner/Sea Dweller, and/or the Panerai pieces, JLC took a bold step and came up with a wearable (41.5mm) sport watch with a un...
Maybe it is time to work on the sports line? Interestingly, I was not very fan of some elements of design, such as the large circular alarm window on the MC Memovox. But I got used to it after a while. I miss them. Best, Nicolas
