Aaaah, Blomman...
Now you know why it took me some time before posting it. I asked my contact at the Manufacture many informations about that Watch.
You know me, I very rarely post Press Files without thinking a bit about them.
My contact, very honestly, as well as the Manufacture, answered me that these 3 pièces were added to the LE of 959 pièces.
The OOR thing crossed my mind... ( Out Of Range, for the No Paneristi among us. )
I am not surprised that you thought so.
Best,
Nicolas
Sotheby's New York, on November 23rd: The " Red " Auction. ( Press File, with a big PLUS )
( Red ) was founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver to engage business and people in the fight against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. For this occasion, Sotheby's will auction two interesting pièces, made by JLC: - A Tribute To Deep Sea Alarm European with a R...
Actaully, I quite like it...
but would like it more if there was MATCHING red stitching on the straps. -Dean
Totally agree. A nice Cordovan or Calf strap, with some evilish
Red stitching would have been perfect. But they would have called it the Vlad's Edition ". :) Best, Dean. Nicolas.
Well before perhaps some negative comments
To start on a positive note before anyone posts a negative, I personally think that the Tribute to Deep Sea European here with the red alarm disc is nicer than any of the watches recently presented in Monaco for Only Watch 2013. This will surely draw a pr...
My take
Thank you Nicolas for the post. I think red works well on the Atmos. Its fresh, cool, and perhaps a little daring but in a good way. As to the Deep Sea Alarm- I think it 'breaks' the watch. I would personally be paranoid that everyone would be staring at ...
Well even with the normal, everybody wonders what you are wearing.
;) It is not a Rolex, and when you wear anything else than a Rolex, everybody wonders what you are wearing. One day, a cop at the Court saw my JLC MMR and told me " Hey, what a beuatiful Swatch you have here "! ... Best, Nicolas
Well, there was one or tow nice watches, at the Monaco 2013 auction
But this one is really cool... Daring and suprising, but cool. Best, Nicolas
Red Hot TT matter.
Well Nicolas, thanks for this news, I find it interesting. Personally I'm not someone who walked along the different TTs history and thus I can easily look at this one with a brand new vision. And I must say: it looks really really nice in this oufit. Wou...
There is no chance I get it. I think it will go quite high during the auction.
And certainly too high for me. Best, Nicolas

love it..
Officine-LeCoultre... I am sure it will garner great attention... I am a bit tired of the tweak-this-a-little-and-call-it-limited game.. glad there is only 3...
Honestly, I Iove red....
I normally love red accents in a watch. It gives a watch a 'sporty' accent. That's why I love the Atmos. The TT Deep Sea Alarm is IMHO RED in capitals. I think it's too much and also to dangerous when there is a bull in the vicinity. Maybe I'll like it to...
To add to the 'big' discussion..
For a good cause - why not? Three extra pieces in red is unlikely to cause too much concern for the collectors of the DSA. It is unlikely that I will ever come across one and I prefer the original non-coloured version anyway. However, if this is the start...
Adding to the Limited Edition is NEVER a good thing, it is a question of principle.
I am exactly on the same line than you. If it is limited to these 3 pièces, it is regrettable, but ok, it is for the cause. But if it is the start of a new TT DSA invasion, in blue, Brown, pink, green, purple, it is lamentable. Jaeger-Lecoultre is not Pan...
To tell you the truth,I am not impressed nor disappointed..
The watch is just nice....but not my cup of tea,I prefer the original. As for JLC politic,we'll we discussed many times:such a great brand able to produce an amount of stunning pieces second to none in the last 10 15 years,and such a poor attitude to prot...
JLC just told me that they will not release a blue a yellow and orange one.
Nor in any other color. It was a one shot for the auction. But I do agree with you, JLC might more defend their iconic products, and we know that there are several which can reach this status... Best, Mo, and thanks for your input! Nicolas.
Gents, I did sleep well and I'm fully awake...
This big red dot is not my cup of tea, and imo does not win the Red dot award. Lets just say it's for a good cause and that's it for me. Plz JLC don't make this fabulous watch in a rainbow-colors.
icolas, you just made my day!!
It is so good to hear this kind of information, merci beaucoup...
You were right, some folks are seeing red
Well, I have had my feelings about how JLC has added to limited editions in the past (e.g., AMVOX2, TTR 1931 US Edition), but as Mo said, the addition of 2-3 pieces is the least of our concerns. And this was for a good cause, and should be considered an e...
Aaah, THE Rouge... Not yet on your wrist, Respo?
Good argument about the Amvox II... JLC should think about that, and I know they are reading us! Best, Nicolas
