JLC Extrem Lab One. A few pictures.
2007 was an excellent millesime, for Jaeger Lecoultre. They unveiled, this very same year, the Duometre Chronograph, The Master 8 Days Perpetual Skeleton, the Amvox II DBS, and last but not least, the... Extrem Lab One. Of course, the two stars were the...
Initial hope.. Looking into future.. Quite compelling.. Hope prevails tomorrow ! ;))
.. Maybe a conceptual contender, +1 on waiting for a III .. Best, hs
Your pics better than JLC, comme d'habitude, Nico. I LOVE all but the tourbillon.
I don't understand why it belongs on here. And I could very well have missed that reason, beyond citing precision. Don't get me wrong, tourbillons have their place, but without knowing a very good reason for it, I fear it feels forced on what is otherwise...
I totally understand your point, but we could also argue on the contrary point.
A Tourbillon is, par nature, a fragile element. Cannot we consider it as a true and demanding challenge, in a sports Watch? Even more in an Extreme Watch? JLC is proving, here, that they don't fear this fragility in such a Watch. But, per nature, I do und...
Rugged tourbillon was not considered, and I will think about this. Overall, even if it's
not a perfect success, I think Extreme Lab is a very important direction for JLC, I think it has great potential, and this being the first release, this gives it a real significance beyond the tech breakthroughs.
To be more precise, Tourbillons in sports or diving watches always made me laugh.
But on that one, its concept Watch character makes me think and consider it differently. Best, Nicolas
The comparison was inevitable.
Judging from this year SIHH,with no real new movements,and that of 2007 with two major innovations(Duometre and Extreme Lab) makes me feel pessimistic. Let's wait to see what JLC has in the tube for the following months. Regards Yiannis
No major novelties, I agree. Till now. Let's wait a bit more.
Let's wait a bit later this year, and we'll also judge JLC with the 2016 collection. It is a bit too soon to be pessimistic. Let's first be realistic. :) Best, Nicolas
