A new version of the Extrem World Compressor: The INVERSSOR!

You all know this watch:





Or more dressy with its crocodile strap:





There were some special EWC, in Limited Edition:

- The Paris Boutique: ( Credit pic: Jester )



- The Emmanuel Coindre version: ( Pic : Ravination )



- The Rossi: ( Pic: Asi )



SS, RG or Platinum, yellow, white or orange parts, black or ruthenium dial ( only the platinum EWC received ruthenium dials ), you had till now an extraordinary choice, but the EWC always came with a right handed watch.

NOW, things are changing, as JLC just introduced a left handed version of the E.W.C.

Announced in Geneva, during the 2009 SIHH, this was has just landed.

The Caliber is, of course, the same ( Cal 752 ), as well as the layout of the dial and the dimensions, BUT while the ruthenium dial only came on the Platinum E.W.C, now it is introduced on this special version.

As a left handed watch it is, the most spectacular change is the location of the 3 crowns:

On the right, the world time crown.

On the left, the chrono pushers, and the crown which is used for the setting of the time.

Would you like to see some pics, maybe?



Here they are:







Don't you find this combo is elegant?

The ruthenium dial is really gorgeous, and looks better in real than in pic ( a Hell to take in pic...)

Compared to the normal Black dialed EWC, this new one looses in strenght what it gains in elegance.

Well, at least this is my personal perception of this watch.

The pushers and crown on the left of the watch give it an unusual look, too, almost original, even if we can immediately recognize an E.W.C.

Here, the mandatory wrist shot:



Only one visible crown, in this configuration, when worn on the left hand...

Not bad, eeeeh?

This is a Limited Edition of 100 pieces, in SS, and only avalaible at the JLC Boutiques.



What do you think?

Best,

Nicolas
