A good old friend.: Amvox One Titanium.

 
 By: amanico : April 6th, 2012-04:30
Jaeger Lecoultre tired twice to modernize the legendary Polaris. Once, with the Master Compressor Memovox, introduced in 2002. And, three years after, with the Amvox One, which is even closer to the spirit of the Polaris. The Ruthenium dial gives a fatal ...

One of the first JLCs I fell in love with

 
 By: respo : April 6th, 2012-07:11
I surely would have gotten one had I not been fortunate enough to be "led" to the Tribute to Polaris. Not that there is not room enough for both in a collection. ;-) One of the most useful complications delivered in a gorgeous package. And the titanium so... 

How many of us succombed to its charm?

Most interestingly, how many came to JLC thank to this one? The Amvox One was a very nice first step into the brand. Best, nicolas

Subtle in it's Beauty

and therein lies it's bewitching appeal. thanks for sharing yours

Subtle, certainly, but the ruthenium dial is really something.

Depending on the light conditions, the color changes from grey to almost brown... Magic. Thanks for voicing in! Best, Nicolas

Nico, i love mine as much as you do...

Of a wonderful watch! Same experiacne for me and my SS version... Not that often on the wrist, but every time I wear it... Love is in the air! Thank you for the reminder, my friend! Will have to bring her out for a "spinn"... Best Blomman

Just got my NOS Amvox I

 
 By: RDSChicago : April 7th, 2012-06:03
I found a new old stock Amvox I from an authorized dealer in Germany. Just put it on my wrist last Monday and it has been competing for wrist time all week solely with my 1961 (my year of birth) Tudor 7928 PCG with gilt chapter dial, which arrived on the ... 

Congrats, Robert!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 7th, 2012-06:12
It's a great watch! How the bezel works? When you want to start - turn the "0" to the tip of minute hand. From there you can check how long time has past since "setting" the time. Persoanlly I don't use the bezel thet much - I prefer to set the alarm to k... 

It works like on your Tudor 7928, Robert.

 
 By: amanico : April 7th, 2012-06:15
You use the crown at 3 o clock to adjust the 60 minute bezel index to your minute hand. Then you know when you strated to measure the time. Enjoy your Amvox One! Best, Nicolas.

Thanks for the instructions!

Could be useful in measuring the length of phone calls with clients so I charge them the correct amount!! ))

Love it, but the one I'd like to see you cover is...

 
 By: watchme : April 7th, 2012-08:48
the AmVox1 Racing: 44mm titanium, green dial with yellow accents on the green strap. It might be the loudest of any JLC alarm I've ever heard as the larger case seemed to allow the vibrations from the gong to resonate well before leaving the case. In case... 

In my memory, the Amvox I Racing in titanium didn't ring louder

 
 By: amanico : April 7th, 2012-08:50
Than the non racing version. But I promise you that if I fall on one, I will take the pictures and prepare a review... If only you asked me that some 3 years ago!!! Best, Dean. Nicolas

I was in the Zurich airport in September...

 
 By: watchme : April 9th, 2012-06:20
and saw one for sale in the duty free shop. I couldn't believe it! It may still be there. -Dean

It wasn't an easy seller, to say the least.

I remember how many years the Paris Boutique had one for sale... In Titanium, but also in platinum. Best, Nicolas

And I own a single Ti watch (Omega solar impulse) but your Amvox I Ti is the definition of a cool watch. The design and the subdue colors matches perfect. One day I will do a pair SS/Ti and then I will be done. Cheers, Nilo

Go for it ...

 
 By: nilomis : April 9th, 2012-11:06
Got a new strap for my SS and I'm in love. TI is great but SS is also cool. Cheers Nilo
