Well the master compressor 2 is officially off their website

I wonder what is going on with JLC. I feel like they are slowly getting rid of models, dropping prices and repositioning themselves. Was the master compressor line not doing well?

They seem inconsistent...

The Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph is still listed on their US site but I was told over a month ago that the watch is no longer being produced and there are no US ADs that have one in stock. So they seem to remove some pieces that are no longer available bu... 

Yea it's very strange

A few months I got the deep sea chrono but am considering selling now with this uncertainty of the brand. I usually wear a watch for a year and then like to sell and get something new. With this current trend the deep sea might be selling for 65% less tha... 

Not surprised. The Master compressor line of watches has been waning for quite some time.

I think it was initially popular upon release, but then just like many product life cycles, the popularity ultimately declined. I don't see any issue here whatsoever, except perhaps JLCs dilatory website update practices. Products come and products go. Li... 

It was indeed launched in 2002 with a great watch... The Master Compressor Memovox.

Tradition, with some elements of style borrowed to the Polaris, and Modernity, with the Compressor Key. Since then, we had good and less good offers. 15 years after, maybe it is time to turn the page... Best, Nicolas

The Compressor line was AWESOME!...

But, alas, JLC was told by many markets, "We don't want these thick, clunky watches, we something more 'classic'!" So, JLC responded, but now there is an increased demand for a sport line, and word has it there will be a new line...eventually. -Dean

But a nice sport line in JLC term could be part of the Geophysic family ...

... staying thus classic and innovant! This way, the family would be complete, from tribute to 1958 to the future and aiming at 2058! I look forward to seeing what is coming with excitement as always! All the best, É

I am also hoping that a new sport line, if offered, is within the Geophysic family.

A lot of possibilities there, and it seems like a natural extension of the line. Cheers, John

What defines 'sport' in the line...

JLC just released the platinum Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time which has a quite of sporty feel to it?

I would say that sport is what is not a dress watch.

So it could mean a diver, a chronograph but also colour, materials, strap, etc. I always thought that the amvox and the extreme series were amazing watches but somehow did not really fit well with the rest of the JLC lineup. There was obviously a link to ...
