Well, as it is, it is already a winner, IMO, Dean.
And it is also a good deal, even if it belongs to the category of expensive watches.
I'm not really sure we'll see other declinations of the E.L 2.
In fact, I would like to see JLC keeping a certain exclusivity for this watch.
Thanks for your input, Dean.
Best.

Let's come back to the Master Compressor Extrem Lab
3 years after its introduction at the 2007 SIHH, I wanted to come back to this piece, and asked the Manufacture to show me it once again. I won't go in some deep technical explanations, as Jerome made an EXTRAORDINARY post about it, I highly recommend to ...
A stunning and interesting display, Nicolas!
Thank you for this reminder that JLC not only have great vintage and modern watches but also that they develop themselves in to the future!!! As you know I had the fortune to see some of these watches live not long ago. An absolutely fantastic experience!...
No doubt that JLC's Future will be interesting, Blomman.
As you can guess, the EL 1 is a watch which captivates me a lot, for its sum of innovation, but also for its look. Not everyone's taste, indeed, but I must confess a certain weakness for these concept watches, which are a kind of " tomorrow's window ". Bu...
Phew, a gallery of dreams!
I'm all dizzy after reading though this very nice and informative post. All the pictured watches are absolutely fantastic in my book and range very high on my "In my wildest dreams list". My current taste is absolutely in favour of the EL2! Thanks Nicolas...
For all those who are running after the EL 1
The EL 2 is the next best thing, indeed, Nikolaj... I appreciate a lot the idea to develop watches from the EL 1. Keep on dreaming! Best, Nicolas
Whew! I am breathless after that histroical survey
Two of my favorite watches profiled -- the Extreme LAB and the AMVOX III. I love that the E. LAB is part of the Compressor line -- a great JLC product line, don't you think? It really is great to see the technical developments made with the E. LAB trickle...
So, we are 2, Respo...
I had the chance to see a definitive EL 1 on a friend's wrist, during the last SIHH.... I even put it on my wrist. An unforgettable experience. Aaah, the price? It is so vulgar to speak about money... Best, my friend. Nicolas
I think I might be too nervous to even try that one on
You are brave! I am too afraid it would become the next obsession and who knows what I woulod do to get one... Best, respo
Wonderful review!
Maybe some day these innovations will filter down to the models we mere mortals can obtain!
For sure, Ray...
We'll certainly see them on even more affordable watches than the EL 2... It is just a question of time. Good news for our wallets, and for our passion, too. Best, Nicolas
HQ post. Thank you.
As usual, my friend, you did a great job. As I told you, I consider the LAB Series as outstanding timepieces technically speaking. Not a fan of the design, but I guess it's a matter of time to get used to their look. Would love to "own" the Extreme Lab To...
My pleasure, Vicente.
If I remember well, one of the very few EL 1 is in Spain... Someone you know? A milestone in JLC Modern History, without doubt. In France we call it a " Première ". Best, my friend. Nicolas
Great review...
I'd like to go to the factory and try on the EL in person (a prototype, at least). What I'm waiting to see is this: if I take the EL2 (Tribute) and fill in the dial, then imagine it in steel or polished titanium, I see a stunning, extremely legible dual t...

Why not? Wonderful watch and post!
Could you please give the master grand tradition grande complication photo's a rest though. There is only so much temptation a man can take. Best Christian
Ask, and you will receive... :)
Well, sometimes, it takes time to gather all the informations and pictures, then to think about the way you gonna organize your post... But, it is always a pleasure. If not, I wouldn't do it. Best, and thanks. Nicolas
The Extreme Lab and the Amvox III...
...are watches that have grown on me, but I don't think it will ever be a full-blown love affair with either of them. However, without the Extreme Lab we'd never have seen the Extreme Lab II. I don't know what it is about that watch, but I am so smitten w...
You would be surprised by its size, Daos.
It is much easier to wear than you think. Really surprising. I don't know why, but I think you gonna love it a lot... Best, VLAAAAD.
