I think C stands for
Chapter ring - as it stands out here around the globe. It is not on the current Master series, nor on the Geomatic. It is also a bit odd in that it doesn't look like a minute chapter ring (60 per 360 degrees). It looks about 120 per 360 degrees. A "C"ompass, perhaps?
Am I close?
Interesting!

I meant not on the watch face
but the engraving on the back. Isn't the chapter ring around the globe a clue?

Damn, I forgot to answer...
As for the compass, yes, on the case bac, it would be great!
Ah ah ! A teasing !
Eh eh !
Well, I have no idea, that's the sad true !

LOL, FX... At the contrary, I think that most of the JLC fans will be happy!
As I am!

Very cruel indeed..
Very cruel indeed Nicolas. My guess, or maybe wish, is a M C Memovex Geographic in Titanium, someting between 42mm and 44mm. It is my best shot with the clues you showed us.
It never hurts to dream.Cheers,

No that Cruel, Mark, because I will end the teaser soon
Interesting answer, Mar...But it is not that.
Best,
Nicolas
It is rumoured that...
I think "C" is for Chronometer that legendary 1958 Geophysic undoubtedly had been present
Interesting, but be careful with rumors...
This moment is very propice to rumors...
Wait a bit, please, the answer ( and it won't be a rumor
) will come soon.Best,
Nicolas
I won't ruin the teasing....
All you have to do is be patient now !
Well, Nico teasing again......:o)
with a little help from Franco Cologni I have narrowed it down to 2 choices....
1) The Geophysic Chronometer originally from 1959 - stunning, simple and elegant and certainly a look that is missing from the current line up.
2) Memovox originally from 1950 with 2 crowns instead of the Polaris' 3 - again stunning and also missing from the current line up and JLC do make the best alarms around.
So my money is on the Memovox as the AMVOX 1 is (I believe) being discontinued so there would be no alarm piece which is historic to JLC..!!!
Am I close..??
Andy.
That was.....
also my guess but I think that Nicolas, indirectly, said no.....
pity....
Cheers
Me? Teasing AGAIN, Andy? :)
The Geomatic, the Future Matic and a few others can also be considered...
Best, my friend.
Nicolas
LOL.....more hints needed....
I did consider those too but I think I was really hoping for an alarm piece not associated with anybody else.
A sneak hint of the dial would be nice...???!!!
Pretty please...
Yours my cheeky friend,
Andy.
Master control
On the first picture, we can see "control"
So it' a master control
Simple
It's easy then:
The 40mm Master Control Memovox. It'll have an added, 'new' feature. Tell us more about this, please.
I know !!! I went to the Boutique, they told me...
Just kidding, I don't know anything.
You're a lawyer I'm a liar
