He invites the community to weigh in on the aesthetic and conceptual differences between these unique timepieces, known for their innovative pivoting case chronograph pushers.

I dare say it, the Amvox II is a watch which will count, in the History. It is unique, with its pivoting case used as a chronograph pusher, it is young, fresh, and audacious. 

Now,Jaeger Lecoultre has made too many variations of this watch, in my opinion. Two different styles would have been enough, the first, of course, and one open dial series. 

One would have been even better, the first edition. 

I owned the Black Paris Boutique Edition, limited to 24 pieces, and the 1st generation in platinum. 

At the end, I kept the platinum, and let the PBE go. 

To make it more à propos, I " built " a side by side picture of the Black Concept, first generation, then, and the Paris Boutique Edition. 





Which one do you prefer? 

The conceptual look of the first generation, or the racing look of the Paris Boutique Edition? 

Looking forward to reading your opinion,

Best,

Nicolas

Now, the question is to guess which way JLC will take with its new sports line. Something very technical and quite expensive ala Extreme Lab II? Something much more affordable, but with which complication? Something without complication at all, just a working horse bullet proof? All of that? Round, square? End of the Compressor Series? So many questions, so few answers. Best, Nicolas

A good friend had the original black concept, traded it, missed it, bought his back! I saw it, newly decked out with the red stitch strap. Just lovely! So I have vacillated over these two pieces. My friend keeps reminding me that you had and sold the open dial piece. Keeping platinum. As you know I have the platinum Amvox1. So for an Amvox2 I want d the concept So which one? I am looking for the Paris boutique one. For a few reasons. I really like the waffle dial. I like the orange details, as s

Yes, I owned it, and was very happy when I bought it. Now, there are two things: 1/ I am reluctant to have two of the ( almost ) same watch. 2/ The PBE is eye catching. You immediately fall in love with it. But with time passing, I much prefer the more classic 1st generation. If I didn't have the platinum, I would have gone for the Black Concept. Now, I am very happy with the platinum, for its grey dial. Heavy yes, but ho pleasing! Best, Joe. Nicolas
