Well, the Amvox 3 is totally different.
Both the 3 and the 5 share this sporty look, and the ceramic case.
But I'd say that the 3 is more sober, when the 5 is more dynamic.
Difficult to put in words, indeed.
I'd also say that the 3 has the " magic " of a Tourbilon, which is unexpected on a sports watch, but not unpleasant at all.
I can understand your fascination ofr the 3!
Best,

A view on the Amvox 5 Racing Editions.
I posted earlier this year a topic about the Amvox 5, which was one of the 2010 novelties. For those who want to know more about this watch, here is the link: jlc.watchprosite.com What I didn't mention was the existence of a Racing version of this new mod...
Great reading Nicolas and the pictures really get me
thinking about this one. I would say the Paris edition is my favorite for sure and I think they did not color the pushers blue because it would just be too much blue. This is a Paris exclusive and I think we must make it a little "unique" too. Many thanks...
Really, Tim?
I saw you more inclined to Vintage watches, my friend. Yes, it may be a good explanation for the lack of color on the Racing PBE Amvox 5. Best and thanks for your input, Tim. Nicolas
Hi Nicolas. Yes to both, vintage is a pivotal part
of what I like, but I must balance it out with new watches that are going to become classics--that's fun too. Thanks for all you do, Tim
Ha! We have the same problem, I see...
A big pivotal part, indeed. Love both the Vintage and the Modern, too. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Big fan

Both interesting pieces, ik2000
I know the GP WWTC very well, as I owned it for several years, and I loved it a lot. The JLC is in the same vein, but in an even sportier way, in a Racing way. I love the association of a Chrono and a WT compication, so, yes, I can totaly share your enthu...
nice!
They're so beautiful, thanks for the review. I still prefer the Amvox3 for some reason.. I don't know what it is.. Either way I look forward to getting my Amvox3 shipped to Seattle this week. I just need time to get out there to pick it up.

Thanks for sharing! Not for me though
This design language really doesn't speak to me - way too busy and colorful. Cheers, Patrick
I can understand that, too.
That is the problem when you dare... It can't please to everybody. But I think it is a good think. How boring would be our world with consensual watches only. Best, Patrick, and thanks for your sincere reaction. Nicolas This message has been edited by ama...
Nice work Nico!
the Paris edition are so special (i wonder why I would type this right now...LOL)... I was drooling over the Paris AMVOX 2 that Pinkpanther placed in the CM... JLC is such an innovative company...
You're under the Charm of Paris, my friend.
You will end with one of these... One day. Best, Nicolas
Thanks for posting the photos of the A5 editions
Always welcome information. Best, respo
Thanks, Respo.
I feel you're still more convinced by your Champion ( I mean your EWC ). Best, my friend. Nicolas
Yes.
I remain more convinced by the EWC and by the AMVOX2. But the AMVOX 5 offers a lot. Best, respo
its a shame they didnt keep the 'glass operating chrono' like the Amvox II
there are so many Amvox models and varieties of models that my mind is reeling. when i get in the position to hunt an Amvox II i'll have to ask you for lots of Advice Nicolas. i do really like the ceramic cases and the change of London or GMT to Gaydon is...
Well, Graham, I have to say that the Amvox II is my favourite Amvox.
The concept of the pivoting case is so brilliant, so original, that I think that any other Chrono is tasteless, compared to the Amvox. But this " extremist " point of view is not fair the the A 5, which has its own qualities, and will certainly find its f...
I haven't seen the orange limited edition...
...in person, so perhaps I cannot yet choose a favorite between the two limited versions you show, but I do love the blue color on the Paris Boutique Edition. As you know, this is not my favorite Amvox, but the Paris variant is attractive on the wrist. I ...
Great review Nicolas!
I always like the AMVOX... Especially AMVOX2 & AMVOX 3... I like the way JLC designed such a modern looking timepiece... The dial to me is beautiful... Very modern yet still have a classic sophistication to it... And I have to say this one looks cool too....
Well Sam, you pointed out an interesting detail.
2,3mm less may be a serious option for those who ever thought that the EWC was a tad too big for them. Indeed. The black case may be tasteful for some of us, too. And the racing look definitely makes the difference with the EWC. Similar, but on several im...
2,3mm doesn't sound a lot... But it does make a difference...
Especially that the crowns on the EWC are huge... And I always love watches that is related to motor racing... One thing you didn't know about me is that I first got attracted into watches because of motor racing.. So watches with motor racing theme will ...
Some mixed feelings on this watch...
I stopped by the local boutique yesterday to look at these pieces. They had both the orange and blue versions to see. First, I do like the look of the watch. The color is not overdone, and does make the pieces interesting. They are well made as one would ...
Interesting input, Dave.
Like you, I think that the owner of an Amvox II will always have some reserves when seeing that a ater chrono comes back to the traditional pushers. We love so much the original Amvox II! But think about the addition of a WT on an Amvox II: What does char...
Hi Nicolas
Just wanted to know that the Amvox 5 Racing edition in blue is only made for Paris boutique as I have seen one in the Dubai Mall boutique. It's a limited series of 24 pcs worldwide and they have 2 of them. Thanks, Raman.
