Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor Extreme Lab One. An Extreme Dream.
The Sea Snake of the Compressor Line. A guess estimate would lead me to think that circa 50 were made. Most probably a bit less. The " Oil Free " watch, by JLC. There are few chances you can see one " in the wild ". Yes, a dream, a fantasy. Best, Nicolas ...
Very cool one.
I remember panerai also producing an oil free watch with a 50yrs warranty 😎.
Nicolas everytime I look your posts about EL One my heart beats faster.
My absolute favorite watch all brands included. Watches like this made JLC my most loved watch brand. Time for an new EL3.I hope JLC read us. Best Yannis
Every time JLC announces something new I always think that this will be the time for a new more affordable version of the Extreme Lab.
So far neither affordable nor new. well.. hopefully, one day. Best, Fernando
My eye fell
at your words ‘oil free’. This is remarkable. Oil free running of a mechanical movement. Waauw. Beside of this, the watch looks stunning also.
Saw that piece when it was first released and was truly stunned!
A high Tech piece for sure. If my memory serves well, even the Titanium alloy used by JLC is a TiVan 15%. A very hard metal Used for maximum scratch and wear/tear resistance.
Definitely my favorite in the Compressor line and perhaps my favorite JLC.
I'm not holding my breath that I'll ever see one. M4
My recollection is that the EL1 is a more manageable size, perhaps 41mm? [nt]
The EL2 is very cool, but quite large I believe. M4
Definitely one of JLC's greatest!
Very unfortunate that this tech hasn't found its way into more watches, especially considering this was released over a decade ago. Is there a particular reason it's so hard to produce an oil-free watch?
