She, under Jerome's leadership, made some wonderful, cutting-edge products! I really hope JLC will re-visit the Compressors since no other brand has infringed on that water-proofing patent yet.

Haven’t worn the Master Compressor Memovox for too long…

My first JLC and a reminder of the Magali Metrailler era at the maison 😍 ...  

Lovely pairing here with this strap!

That red car is giving me 959 vibes!

So it is 😁

All 4 cars in the shot are Teutonic πŸ˜‰ There’s an air-Quattro directly underneath the wrist, a Phaeton next to it and a /8 Coupe in blue next to that 😊

Lovely collection!

Slowly managed to unpack most of them 😁

1:18 car models being another collecting theme πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ»

Cool and original.

I can imagine it most have been quite exciting, when it came out…

The crowns are still a blast, so much more user friendly than a screw down one πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Super timepiece

Very nice

Glad you enjoy it πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»

So much about it that was right and innovative about it at the time (apart from the non-quick set date πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ). And back then one made new pieces that were a homage to historical ones, rather than re-editions πŸ˜‰

The watch is as beautiful as the designer,

she also designed the Ballwatch & BMW collaboration. If only Ballwatch partner with Benz…

So she did…

 
 By: KMII : February 8th, 2024-05:05
Not sure who she’s working for nowadays πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

She an independent designer/consultant like her peers.

She is talented, for sure.

Difficult for me to picture…

 
 By: KMII : February 17th, 2024-11:53
Given that I wasn’t around at the time and when I first saw it it was modern but not shockingly so 😊

;)

Always liked this great JLC a lot .

Excellent strap choice πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Always nice to see this watch but when I see it I feel a bit sad.

 
 By: kev09 : February 8th, 2024-10:54
When it was introduced I loved the look of it and lusted after it. Eventually I managed to get one and was delighted with the size, design of the dial, ease of operation of the alarm function. In fact everything about it was great. Unfortunately, for me, ... 

I second that.

 
 By: Berkeleygis : February 8th, 2024-15:36
I agree with Nico. It was my first JLC. I still love it but man o man, that gold medallion really bothered me.

Alas...

 
 By: amanico : February 9th, 2024-09:24

Oh yes…

 
 By: KMII : February 17th, 2024-12:34
I wear it a little looser as a result 😊

Even that I tried... In vain.

 
 By: amanico : February 17th, 2024-18:30

A real pity.

 
 By: amanico : February 17th, 2024-18:30

For me it’s the case back, which could be more comfortable…

 
 By: KMII : February 17th, 2024-12:33
Not a deal breaker but definitely not the most comfortable of watches I own πŸ˜ŠπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Superb capture my friend! Great strap pairing as always!

I would think that if

JLC were to revive/reissue the compressor line of watches there just might be a slale or two there for them.

Could not agree more!

 
 By: KMII : February 17th, 2024-12:36
If they don’t go all bananas with their idea of what these are then worth πŸ˜‰

Golden times!

Beauty! Love the strap

These Master Compressor bring me nice memories from the past

I never got one, but was at the edge multiple times. The Momovox could be my favorite, and yours look uber cool! πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

great watch, great strap
