Nah ... Gyrolab in the new sports dream piece would be welcomed. [nt]
To go back to the 'dream watches' subject, what i love with JLC in general...
... 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 which make the achievements afforable for people like me. And one last thing, they have such a huge background and history that their innovation is nearly all the time based on past successes (as Nicolas mention, you can see the Polaris in this model, etc.).
This is far from the world of pure luxury where innovation is only in design (sometimes beautiful of course), but not in techniques.
All the best,
Etienne
(PS: I just got really into the AMVOX2, pure technical beauty, oh dear....)
I cannot disagree with you, Etienne. And as for the Amvox II, yes, you should have an eye
OK, skip point 6...
Mr. Riedo! Help!!!
There should be a "LIKE" button some where for me to click
Definitely on my wanted list
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 trigger. But continuing the prowl
Not too tough to find. And not too costly, too... I see one in your future. Now, which one? The Steel? [nt]
Yes, steel with leather strap
I can imagine the reactions back then...
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 preliminary to news to come ?
Thanks for the reminder.
Cheers, Mark
I am pushing with my own means, and with you all, to show to JLC that we are all expecting something. ;) [nt]
Agreed, the Compressors were a great step forward for JLC IMO
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 unique look and some real usability in the compressor crowns.
The case and compressor crowns are well balanced, although large. They are unmistakably JLC given the compressor crowns' unique look. The pieces are large when taking into account the compressor crowns, but they are surprisingly comfortable on the wrist.
I'm not enamored of some of the dial designs (the chrono is my favorite), but JLC did an overall great job on these issuances.
I hope JLC doesn't let the compressor series die, although I understand that the focus of late has been tributes. But eventually the ability to make tributes wanes and new designs need to carry the brand. Perhaps that's when JLC will revive the compressor series. I certainly would buy another if it was the right piece.
Cheers,
John
Well, I asked if the Tribute Saga will go on, it doesn't seem so.
Well, I have the feeling JLC needs to make a pause on that matter...
No, just kidding.
Best,
Nicolas
