Nicolas (amanico) revisits the Jaeger-LeCoultre Extreme Lab II Blue, a technical marvel he first tested in 2015. His original post highlights its unique digital chronograph and radial power reserve, positioning it as one of the few modern JLCs on his personal wish list. This article delves into why this particular reference continues to captivate collectors and stands out in the brand's contemporary offerings.

A technical watch, this Extreme Lab II and one of the most original, with its digital chronograph and its radial power reserve. 

A watch I had the pleasure to test in 2015, when it was issued, and one of these " test watches " I loved the most. 



One of the four or five modern Jaeger Lecoultre which are in my wish list, definitely. 

Best,

Nicolas

Rolling Stone. I used the Dylan song to point that it is the first non Ulysse Nardin watch which i found it have something in it that looks like a Freak. The digital chrono function is such a complication that is fine a maison thinks different and pull chronograph skippers like me that are bored a chronograph must have hands at the sub dials. Or a static hand that paused at the 12 mark when no button pushed. When the hand is almost invisible, i can live with it. A clear 12 o’clock gives so much

Like others have said, the Duometre, Gyro, and EL2 are strong examples of how far JLC can push their tech. And I love that there is a core group of EL2 fans here.

I just love all 3 iterations of the EL2, let’s hope they issue an EL3 in the future.

I have not even wanted to buy ANY recent JLC models EXCEPT the super "haute horlogerie" pieces like the Gyro 5 or recent Quadriptyque, everything else is just boring besides the occasional colored dial Reverso 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Let's hope I am wrong as I would LOVE an EL3 in Ti and tantalum/vanadium mix and even a Duometre Rattrapante or DOUBLE Rattrapante of some kind 😉🙏🙏 We can dream 🤣😜
