Horological Meandering

Dear PuristS, If you would be looking for a world timer but with a touch of more; do you sometimes think of the following examples? a) Jaeger-LeCoultre - Master Compressor W-Alarm 46 Valentino Rossi b) Girard Perregaux - ww.tc Financial c) Zenith - Double...  

Than GP JLC last Best D

both with an alarm (very useful for travelling), but come in completely different design languages. The Zenith has the added chronograph and is a real bang for the buck. Best, Magnus

So I have a huge sweet-spot for the JLC. But it is certainly loud! These are hugely subjective and I am even arguing with myself on them but: Overall wearability (matching to clothes and occasions) I would go with: 1: GP 2: Zenith 3: JLC Movement: 1: Zeni... 

Loud is not always bad and I just wonder how much I am appealed by the fact that it is connected to Rossi. What would you do with it if Rossi is no longer racing? BR, Kolosstt

that Rossi will retire while you are still enjoying the watch, and that if you sell it on, it will be once Rossi has left MotoGP. But a) Rossi is a legend of the highest order and so his importance and relative collectability is like having a Schumacher A... 

what are you going for? sport? then jlc. and i have an extreme world chrono: they are great. if you're going for reserved and elegant: gp hands down. classic style with beautiful proportions. the zenith just doesn't come together for me. looks like a blob... 

Personally I am a BIG fan of JLC Memovox - but that model is one of the few modern Memovox I never went for due to its size and comfort... The Zenith doesn't do it for me, I find the dial unbalanced... This version of the Traveller is very high up on my ... 

I would go for the GP. It has more charm. Best, Nicolas

For me, I always liked the Zenith, but it's a little too "Kitchen-Sink" for me with all the oddly arranged elements and numerous crowns living on the case... though it is a lot of complication for the $$$. Love the LOUD and LONG school bell alarm of the J... 

as I own one, but the GP. The JLC and Zenith just look oversized for my tastes. The GP sits lovely on the wrist, is functional and has the added benefit of being as comfortable as a casual watch as it does formally. ...  

More reasonable size, and overall a more wearable presentation The Zenith is a mess from a design perspective IMO

Hoping for more, I send my best regards, Kolosstt

I think the dial is more balanced and coherent. Also I like the two crowns and the size is something that works better in most situations.

... like this one from Luis6? Regards, kolosstt ...  

Except that maybe the red and black can make it slant more toward casual.

... if I would either opt for the Zenith or the JLC. The latter, however, definitely not in this design and colour scheme - reminds me of a kid's sportsshoe ... Marcus

Hello Marcus, Thanks for the feedback. I think all W-Alarm came colourful; blue, red yellow. Which one would be your favorite? Guessing blue? BR, Kolosstt

... since I am a big fan of the Master Memovox, which is a wonderfully made and designed alarm watch. Marcus

I think this is a beautiful watch, a real bang for the buck. Second the GP, I like it been smaller. Third JLC, i dont like the color scheme André

My personal 1, 2, 3 would be Zenith, GP and the JLC. I love the balance of the Zenith, its one great looking watch indeed and suits my taste in watches. Cheers Andrew

Obviously Magnus if one had included that 'special' colour it would have been number 1 on the list, the others would have simply been blown out of the water. Cheers Andrew
