What a lineup
Thank you so much , Nicolas, for this quick overview.
Your press pictures show much more than the "europa star" issue available at JLC's web site (regrettably the resolution of the pdf file is quite poor).
And they let me realize even better what JLC has achieved during the last year. It's simply overwhelming.
Just take your time to work on the information you have. I will need that time to grab and understand that overload of great new timepieces. I did not have much time so far to look at and think about them, but each one needs and deserves a close examination.
I already made a note in another post that I am happy to see how JLC did not forget to create new watches in the "realistic budget" range. (However we must not forget what we mean when we are are talking about "realistic budget" or " reasonably priced".) The new "simple" pieces like the Masters and the Navy Seals (LE...) seem to be rock solid watches in the best sense of the word. It is great to hear that you hav got the same impression and that maybe the pricing will be even more reasonable than I would suspect.
That combined with pieces like the DuoMètre or the Grande Tradition (have not made up my mind about the Extreme Lab 2 yet) shows the whole potential and the charted course of JLC in a most impressive way. I love the Grand Tradition for its refinement that look so simple at the first glance. Looks just like a watch. But what a watch!
I am craving and drooling for more input, so take your time!
Best my friend,
Martin
JLC SIHH 2010: The new watches you wanted to see.
Here we are, the curtain finally fell, and JLC revealed the 2010 Collection with several interesting novelties. 1/ The Master Compressor Extrem Lab 2, Tribute to Géophysic: Amagnetic Watch, Silicon Escapement, Chronograph, 2d Time Zone, Reset to Zero Seco...
The man is back !!!
Great galore from JLC all 3 Atmos clocks are just sublime So anyone for bank robbery? Thank you for report Damian
The man is ...exhausted.
Wow, what a pair of days we had! To say all, and to try to sum it up...I' very proud to be a moderator for this Brand. There is a lot to say, and to try to say it well, I need some time to make up my mind, and to put my ideas in order. We had a BLAST, Hor...
You exhausted ..... no way ...
come on what they did to you ... but hey wait I just saw what they did to you Glad that all is OK Few hours of sleep and we expect at least 2 posts for every new piece from SIHH LOL!!! Best Damian
So many marvels to see, so many pictures to take
So many friends to meet, So many ...Glasses to drink. So many posts to do. So much pleasure to share... Best, Damian. Nicolas
Take all the time that you need...
...a quick but very informative report, thank you. I have decided that my collection needs a rose gold piece and the Master Memovox in 40mm or the Master Chronograph also in 40mm fit the bill exactly. It will be difficult but fun deciding which watch to b...
I can only tell you, Neil, that there are some strong an great " tendances " this year.
Will elaborate later, BUT: 1/ The Return of reasonnabily sized watches. 2/ In a certain way, the return of the Classicism, with the 2 pieces you mentionned. 3/ You don't have to sell your house to have a great piece. Those are very important points, and I...
Yes sir, 2010 is most certainly price winning for JLC
Can't wait to see some live pictures Nicolas. I personally adore the duometre; the moon phase gives it this fantastic extra touch. More in my financial league are the great Navy Seal with what I think is a perfect 42 mm case size. But actually the chrono ...
Honestly, I hesitated a lot before posting this quick thread, my friend
But I was so excited to dhare these exciting novelties that I coldn't resist to the temptation. I can only tell you, for the moment, that there are great things to see and discover, and not necessarily unaffordable, which is really a GREAT point. Best, Ni...
Blown away!
JLC have managed something truly exceptional with the master compressor extreme Lab 2. It's range of functions and beauty makes it head and shoulders above anything else i've seen so far. Keen to see more of it. Many Thanks
I agree...
There is a lot to say ( and to write ) about this watch. A Technical, complex, and stunning watch. I think that it will take me a lot of time to make a post about it... Best, Nicolas
The Duo a QL steals the show!!!
Just wrote it in thr SIHH forum.My jaw dropped yesterday when I saw it.No contest for me here.Well done JLC always on top.Mo PS The Atmos are sublime!!
The new Duomètre is a ...Star.
I will make it short, as I previously said...I'm on this watch. Is it really a surprise for you? Best, my friend. Nicolas
It is....
only coloured metal!!!!Nico Nico,you are being seduced by an exotic beauty.I'll PM you when back !I have an idea.Yours,Mo.
For the moment, Mo...
I don't desesperate to see a white metal version coming... Just the time to fund the watch... Best, Nicolas
Well some nice pieces here Nicolas
was wandering where you were you have been busy thx for the post some nice watches i would love to see
Now, you know, Garry...
I'm just dying with some photoshop work... Stay tuned, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thanks
Thanks. Great post. Have to say those Atmos look wonderful - not only those though! Memovoxes look very tempting. Do you know what the sound like & how they compare? Cheers JML
You're too kind! This is not what I call a post, though
It is just a short compilation of what I saw. BUT, it was just to give you an idea of the Richness of the collection, this year. As for the Memovoxes, I can tell you that they sound like a Polaris, if you heard them striking. A School bell. A Crystaline o...
Fantastic Nico....
looking forward to the full Navy Seals Diver report.....this and the AP Diver are my 2 favourites of the show..!! Yours, Andy.
Amazing !!!!
Hi Nicolas, thanks for this preview !!! What happened at JLC? Looks like they decided to work double as hard ro be able to relaese this diversity of watches .... the new duometre , master memovox and the MarcNewson Atmos are stunning ... well, so is the r...
About the Duomètre, you lost, my friend.
It isn't that pricey at all... What did I win? A Duomètre? Best, Nicolas
Yes, it is exactly my feeling.
I was amazed by all these new watches, indeed. And I even kept some surprises for later... Best, Nicolas
Kudos to JLC !!
Absolutely takes the cake ........ undoubtly star of the SIHH for me personally .... besides Lange of course Thanks for Sharing Nico !!
Well, I visited several booths, as every year, and
There are some nice surprises, here and there, but JLC is DA KING this year. The offer is as wide as it is interesting, and to say all, very tempting. I can't say it is a surprise, as JLC use to surprise us almost each year, but this year is a STRONG year...
Thanks for the quick preview...
What a line up... Within my budget, the Master Chrono and Master Memovox Int'l appeal to me. Do they comes with bracelet? Goh
The Master Chrono and the Memos are far from being second choices, Goh
They are authentic JLCs. I really love and appreciate to see such offers this year. Will of course come back to them very soon. Best, Nicolas
Sure, Nicolas.
They are not second choices. It is just that I am smitten by the Duometre Lunaire which is out of my budget. I also haven't get used to a watch on leather strap. I just wish that the Master Memovox (not int'l) as well as the Master Chrono are available in...
I must confess that I didn't ask for the bracelet option, Goh.
But I will! No display back on the Master Chrono, which doesn't have a new movement, as there were some change in the structure of the movement, but nothing major. Best, Nicolas
thanks mate
thanks alot for the report, well done. stunning time pieces though i didnt like the writing or name stating on some. Faisal
Really thanks, Nicolas.... and
thanks and big congrats to JLC!. A really well done job made by the Grande Maison! Waiting for your great reviews about all these marvels! Descansa, hermano, que debes estar exhausto Un abrazo Emilio
Yep, Emilio... JLC has to be congratulated, IMO.
If I had to sum in a few words my feelings, I would say that everybody won't like ALL the watches introduced this year, BUT everybody shold find and support his champion, among these novelties. That is an impressive presentation and offer... Best, Hermano...
Thanks, Nicolas, for putting all the press pictures...
...and immediately available information into one post. I empathize, as it does take time, time, TIME to put together these strings of photos. I'm not complaining mind you, just expressing sympathy for your large task now at hand -- particularly because y...
To be honest, I'm lost in my pics and texts, right now.
Will take some time to well think about it... I saw 2 or 3 watches I'd like to include to my already vast collection, and I can tell you that I feel very lucky to own the pices I own, because the list may be even longer! I'm sure that 2010 will be an exce...
What a lineup
Thank you so much , Nicolas, for this quick overview. Your press pictures show much more than the "europa star" issue available at JLC's web site (regrettably the resolution of the pdf file is quite poor). And they let me realize even better what JLC has ...
We're surfing on the same wave, Martin
The most impressive, to me, is that JLC managed to conciliate which is often presented as impossible to conciliate: The Appeal and the affordability. Of course, The MGT Grande Complication is a hell of a watch ( and to say all , I wad laughting when I saw...
Where is the recession? :-)
Incredible pieces, I thought brand were going to show simpler version but it looks like it is full steam ahead starting with JLC!
From the simpler to the most complicated, AT
There are watches for everybody's taste and budget... And the simpler are not the less appealing. Wait a bit, you're gonna be convinced. Best, Nicolas
Agreed, Nico . . .
. . . the modestly priced steel MUT that I saw a few weeks ago was an eye opener and then some. Easily one of the most sensible watches I've come across in a while . . . impressed, Art
The example of the MUT is perfect to illustrate this, Art.
And you will have the same feeling with the Master Chrono or the Memovoxes... Some great Classics are back, for our greatest pleasure. Some very innovative pieces, too. High Horology is here... What can I say...? I'm fighting to not stay ...Speechless, wh...
Love the innovative power reserve indicators of the Extreme-Lab...
and the Duomètre Lunaire And what about that Atmos 1930?! WOW!!! Looking forward to the detailed info, Nicolas. Thank you!!! Marcelo
I knew you would love them, Marcelo.
But wait, my friend, there are so many you will fall in love with... Best, Nicolas
Big Suprise and well done JLC.
Love the extreme lab (I am expecting a very high MRSP) and very good Atmos. Good work JLC.
I have the feeling we'll speak a lot about the Extrem Lab II
It is a VERY interesting watch, technical and complex at the same time. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas, what an outstanding lineup
from JLC. The master chrono is just what the doctor ordered for me, but I think I will have to settle for a painting or a nice photograph of the Astronomical masterpiece. Wha a beauty! Thanks again. best wishes,
Your Doctor is good, emcquillan. :)
You may also have a nice surprise, as we speak of the Chrono... Best, Nicolas
speechless...JLC did it again...
WOW, finally all these very nice and new JLC watches are launched and landed to SIHH 2010. again, this year JLC did not upset us and disappointed to us at all. i love quickly to be able to see all of them now, hopefully they can come to Singapore very soo...
These new watches will travel a lot, Stefan ...
Today: Geneva. 27th of Janauary: Paris. 11th of February: London. I'm pretty sure they will come to you soon. One advice, just one advice: Take your pills... Best, my friend. Nicolas
don't think any pill can help, LOL!
Nico, man thanks for the info. it seems they likely travel to Singapore late Feb or early March stefan
I thought I was not YG nor RG but...
The Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire (YG) is...maybe my choice, if any, for 2010 (or The Master Memovox, will depend $$$) Thanks Nicolas for those pictures, they are even nicer than the ones on JLC web site One question: any reason not to see pictures of the ...
With these 3, you can't go wrong, Pascal ...
The Memo is also in my wish list, as well as the Duomètre à QL and I'm also thinking about the Navy Seals Automatic... As for the Navy Seals pictures, I will post some very soon, there is no particular reasons, except that my computer had a small problem ...
If I can be of any help regarding your computer issue....
...let me know. That would be my pleasure if I can help (this is somehow my stuff ) Best, Pascal
Thank you...
for the quick post... Like you, I will reserve my commends.... I will just note that I must admit that some newbies are gorgeous...... Cheers
Superb collection!
I have to say that I think JLC have excelled this year. There's something for everyone. I can see my wallet lightening......!
I think you will make the plunge, my friend...
There are 2 or 3 things for you... Best, Nicolas
Thanks a lot N!
Nice overall view/report of what to be expected from JLC thanks again to YOU. My fav. has to be the new Extreme Lab 2! In titanium. Insane! B well and post more pics when you're well rested my friend, Matrix.
Thanks for your nice words, Matrix.
I'm sure that you will adore this technical piece! Best, Nicolas
Where is the 'small seconds' indicator on Extreme lab 2?
I understand the functions of Master Compressor extreme lab 2 states it has a small seconds indicator and was wondering where exactly it is on the dial? many thanks
You'll have to wait a bit, as if I give all the details right now
There will not be any interest to make a post about it... Best, Nicolas
I must say JLC has done it well.
Thanks for the comprehensive pic coverage, Nic. I immediately fall in love to The Grande Master Tradition Grande Complication. It is both stunning and refreshing. Regards Ling
Question on the Navy Seals Automatic
Thanks for these pictures, Nicolas. Do you happen to have more information on the new Navy Seals? I'd especially be interested in information on its case height. Judging from some pictures, it seems to be slimmer than the other Navy Seals, right? Best reg...
The Duometre is a killer! It and the original duometre (caliber 380) would make an
an amazing pair. What is great is that the designers moved the time to the crown side of the dial so that it is more easily available when worn under the cuff. I would love to believe that this occurred as the result of a dinner conversation that I had wi...
Another YG for you would be perfect, Mitch!
*Cheering you on* I love this year's JLC offerings! Cheers, Daos
Encouragement like this is great for the ego and bad for my wallet. I did have
a list that I was trying to stay true to but..... Cheers, Mitch
Yes, Mitch!
Was thinking exactly the same when looking at it... Cal 380 with Cal 381... Huuuuummmmm. I'm certain that Mr Lambert heard you, as the clients feedback is an important thing for the Manufacture. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas !
Tha ExtremeLab 2 - a little too modern style, like Richard Mille Duométre Lunaire - very nice watch Master Grande Complication - lovely, all resoult perfect, awsome dial MC EWC - new, fresh lines, in RG case looks better for me The two new Memovox - class...
We'll have the opportunity to speak about each of these watches, Milan.
There are so many things to say... Thanks for sharing your first impressions, my friend. Best, Nicolas
No....
Solid case back on the 2 Memovoxes. But it is a cool idea, and I will elaborate my answer later, my friend. Best! Nicolas
Which one, Mr Gastby?
There are several: The Extrem Lab II, The Navy Seals, the EWC... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Yet another superb post Nicolas!
Perhaps the only question we should ask is: Can JLC do no wrong? Every year they amaze with new watches and movements. Surely JLC must be the most exciting and dynamic brand of all watch companies. I am really glad about their reintroduction of the Master...
Thanks, Bill, for your words.
Honestly, this was a great SIHH with some nice and strong surprises. Some other brands released interesting watches, like Panerai, and Lange, without forgetting GP, which has a SUBLIME Automatic Chrono. But, IN MY OPINION, JLC is above... In terms of Crea...
I think the extreme lab in rose
is MAYBE one of the coolest, most exciting watches ever produced on earth??? I bristle at the word 'extreme' on the case, very silly!!! But the more I look at the watch, it's innovative features, design, specs, etc--it's just such an extraordinary feat!!!...
Extremely intriguing, Extremely Complex, too.
Will need some time to prepare something on this watch, but for sure, it will make the buzz. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-01-21 12:50:19
Nicolas you did a great job!
Just take your time, I am sure all the members here will have lots of patience to wait for your detailed report. Best regards, Baxter
Thanks for your nice words, and patience, Baxter
Hope I won't deceive you,n as these new JLC watches are really stunning. Best, Nicolas
Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the report, see some very intresting and beautifull watches, enjoy overthere Best, Michel
Jaeger LeCoultre... how amazing!
Wow... absolutely earn even more respect from me now!! The guys at this manufacture are just geniuses! They can come up with so many innovative pieces in ONE YEAR ALONE! That's more than some other main houses innovations in a 5-year span! I particuarly l...
