Jaeger-LeCoultre

There are a lot of IF here, for the project to see the light... - IF that idea doesn't violate any copyright. Indeed, Jaeger Lecoultre issued three TT Deep Sea Alarm Europe RED in 2013. One had been auctioned by Sotheby's, the two others are the property ...  

When? How? Where?

I'd definitely be interested! My vote is for the lume. It's good to see the time throughout the night if the alarm is being used to wake up in the morning. Kind regards, Dan

I understand the tribute, but why Red? May be following the colors codes / tendencies could be more successful ?

Trend setters sometimes, often, take the existing trends ad with a touch of je ne sais quoi turn it into A Trend!

Hi Nico, great idea 👍 I find that “alarm” and “red” go hand in hand. I would be in for a lume version! Best, Jan

...  

I find it very attractive, and prefer the lume version, due to more balance with the lume on bezel and on hands. Hopefully this beauty can come true and I can have one. Best, Henry

What a poll!! Never thought such a brut majority support for your idea.... But that can't be limited to 50-100 pieces only. We have more buyers here than those numbers. JLC must listen to the vote here.

Regards

Lume version would be very cool. Count me in - Many thanks! Excellent idea, Nicolas.

Would love it. Lume for me as well.

I agree with most other repliers -- the lume version is the winner. However, I could do without the extra text -- just "LeCoultre" would look fantastic and really clean, in my personal opinion -- though it certainly isn't a dealbreaker for me either way. ...

Jesus this is beautiful, shut up and take my money

Like those old school dive watches. And in the lume, perhaps a tiny negative space with “L.E Purists” Cool idea with the DSA.

Would be very glad to make it my first JLC!

LUME Thank you Seb

Would you also work on the strap? ...  

...  

Interesting project Nicolas.

I would go with either

Thats an amazingly looking photoshop. I would love to go with the lume version and the white text on the dial.

I would be intereseted. just fyi

is there any chance to have another project for the European edition :P

Thank you for showing this.

For one model, but happy to be wrong.

What’s the case material? Steel? Is it possible to make in titanium ?

I like the with lume version too. Not that I would have the chance to buy one, but if this gets approved, I'm sure it would make for some very happy forum members.

.. in all honesty, I don‘t really see the nessecity for such an undertaking ,. IMHO, we should not fumble with an otherwise already great dial.. Havng said so, as a Lucky man, I started with both DSA models, EU US, but if you want a „What if“ opinion, I a... 

As T3F said: just “LeCoultre” writing on the dial, please!!!

It’s not a deal killer but I think the watch has always looked better without. I think the Le Coultre I can deal with, but the rest I don’t like it’s position and it adds some clutter. What is the significance of the red (colour)? It’s been a long time si...

Thanks for the groundwork on this. It's a cool idea.

No message body

Lume version for sure, but I’d prefer the triangular hour marker, it’s more balanced with the hands shape and thickness. Also better readability. Go for it!

The more colours are in it the better it will lokk: with lume! Please make it happen! Please ...

Maybe “ifs” in the project but I am a fan.

Proper lume over fake lume is great. Christian

Sports watches should have lume. M4

I cannot remember the details: -what‘s the size -what‘s the expected price?

happy to put a word in!

We can order more? if not, how to decide who gets it?

Timed release with unlimited quantity available for only 1 or 2 minutes would be great ! Everybody really interested could get one without flooding the market

1) I prefer lume but don't like "fauxtina" as I like the look of the no lume to be honest 2) the red disc and the black bezel might be too contrasty for me.. wondering if ghost bezels are a possibility 3) the red disc might be distracting over the long te... 

Food for thought, my friend. It is just a first " esquisse " and I have to see with JLC if they are ok for that. Will keep you posted, and we'll see IF they are ok, what is our margin of action. Best, Nicolas ...  

..

..

And I echo the lume version. Also intrigued by option of doing something with the strap. I’d be in!

Merci beaucoup 🙏🏻

What about the movement? Which one would it be?

Would it be the original type of 956 or the new generation?

I wish you a nice evening. 😉

LeCoultre fine but the other stuff is too large and too distracting. Cazalea

That first plain red dial one is so stunning! ...  

I guess it also helps to differentiate between the Project Red charity piece. Still doesn’t make it prettiest though !!!

nt

This watch was so cool in 2013 and it still is in 2020 Thank you for the project!

And would also go with the lume version - it blends really nicely with the red. Sign me up!

Lume version preference but with very thin margin.... ideally fitted on a strap that can handle water... perhaps with some red details even! Most exciting project if it happens! Ideally less text at the bottom as well on dial... perhaps word automatic can... 

And with the lume.

Looks great! Definitely interested.

heck, I would be in for the non lume version as well so put me down for BOTH 🤣😂 No really, you don't even need to ask me frérot. I am so in and would even ask if we could engrave or names or initials on the back to commemorate the occasion 😁

The red dial really pops. My vote would be with the lume version as it brings the other parts of the dial and bezel together. Looking forward to hearing more about this project!

With Lume would be my choice!

I was just looking at the Red Wine Reverso for my wife, maybe I can make the case this would be like a matched set I vote for the lumed version! One suggestion I have might be to shorten the minute & seconds hands or expand the dial a bit to keep both han...

I find that with the Lume, the watch dial has too many color going on. Less is more sometimes.

..

...  

Lume amicu ;-)

Good luck with JLC, my friend. This would be very nice. I hope that the same font can again be used for the “LeCoultre” text. A.N.

Count me in Nicolas. Lume would be my preference.

Really hope it will happen. May the force be with you. ;-)

And with lume please. Why? Because it’s meant to be a dive watch. The more lume the better.

I’m in. Lume.

Like Echi, I would LOVE it with a ghost bezel and I would prefer no fauxtina. Thanks for putting the effort in on this.

That would look subtle and very cool. Just my 2 cents.

..

I have to say your design, including the patina, in growing on me. I’ve read about the RED event and I can see why you are going in this direction with the US version of the deep sea. I think I’d like to be on the list!

Wow, Nico. I have been thinking of this watch ever since I saw the original back in 2013. If this could become reality, I would be very happy. Lume it is!! ...  

With Lume!

This would be an amazing edition. I've been looking for a US edition myself but if this is in the works I might wait and see. Love it! Would a brown dial be in the cards? A simulated tropical look perhaps?

A tropical dial would be amazing. I would actually be a fan of other colors too since red’s been released already. Having said that, it all sounds fantastic to me. Thanks for floating this idea. I’m a pro-lume. Thanks, Brian

The red dial is awsome, one of my favorite editions. This would look great next to my AMVOX2 Agree on Lume

but I can firmly commit to one with lume. Great idea! Best Andreas

Now how do we pressure JLC into making this reference for WPS members frérot? Whatever you need, I volunteer my services to get it done 😉😁 And just want to say that the poll is silly at this point with the lume version dominating like never before 😳 ... 

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Ano “Yes, I’m 5 years old.” Nuevo

Bonne chance, mon ami. I hope that JLC will be receptive, cooperative and understanding, regarding your wonderful idea. Ano “Impatience is my middle name” Nuevo

Lume please. All the best, Niall

Is it a “Go” or “No-go” on the Nico Project JLC Deep Sea Alarm US Edition Red? Let’s just call it the “NPJLCDSAUSER” for short! Ano “More acronyms, please” Nuevo

I suppose I could use the NPJLCDSAUSER funds to get two of the colorful new Rolex OP 36mms. They wouldn’t have the cachet of a Purist JLC, but I’d have two watches instead of one! Coral! Green! Ano “Looking on the bright side” Nuevo

... La la.

Indeed, a very cool project for the community....

Looks great. I do like the “Euro” version a bit more though.

Before I spend my 2021 watch allowance. I’m lusting after chal0072’s Cartier Tank.🙂

a darker shade of red (maroon) should be considered, unless the inner disk color is completely revisited. Regardless, I love the idea and would want to be included, especially if we can get JLC to update the movement to 70 hour power reserve!! Since the o... 

JLC seems to listen… hope they will ear 😜
