The Extreme Lab 2 is a watch I never owned, but which I had the pleasure to test for some weeks in 2015. A watch which is in my short list, for what it is: Technical, original, very modern, yet, and incredibly attractive. 

Its dial is super busy, a real mess, but it has this artistic dimension which pleases me so much. 



Yes, pure modern Art! And great horological content. 

Best,

Nicolas

Indeed, this is a very attractive JLC -- messy but somehow in great harmony! ;-) Thanks for sharing.

That is a great way to put it: an artistic mess...but it all comes together so nicely.
