Congrats, Jerome, for this interview and this post.

 


Speculations?

Well...

There are some exciting answers, indeed...

1/ The possibility to use some parts of the Extrem Lab innovative solutions in an Alarm watch speaks very loud to me.

I'd like a lot to see JLC using some of these new technologies in an Alarm watch.

It would be a very nice Solution applied to an emblematic watch.

2/ New Alarm Watches?

I'm sure we'll see some, as this complication is very familiar to JLC, and, without speaking of a new alarm watch, the re introduction of the Master Reveil or a new Memovox would be fantastic!

Observations:

The Cal 912 / 956 is a very good movement, reliable, and providing an excellent Alarm.

It deserved a review, and you did, it, Jerome.

I would dream of a sapphire case back, to be able to see it, even if it is not the most nicely finished movement among all the calibers produced / used by JLC.

Do you imagine the same movement better finished, housed in a Super Memovox , with a sapphire case back???

Wowow!

Maybe we'll see smething like that in a future ...Duo Metre???

Best, Jerome, and once again, huge thanks for this post.

Nicolas

The new Memovox calibre, a few questions to Stephane Belmont!

Now that the Polaris has reached a few homes, I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you a short interview of Stephane Belmont, head of marketing and development of Jaeger-LeCoutre. I did this short interview nearly a year ago on the subject of th...  

Congratulations! Oh and great interview, too.

I enjoyed the interview AND seeing your new Polaris! Congratulations on both counts. You must be pleased. So, that was a pretty definitive "No" to producing a chrono with an alarm. I'll stop holding my breath now. And it sounds like they will keep the old...

Nicolas, Stop teasing. From now on I can only dream about this watch you just created. Imagine the looks........, the sound........ Just house it in the case of the new Hometime. Make a PuristsPro instead of Boutique version with a black dial. Put the new... 

Great post Dje

Thanks for the interview and many congrats on your new Polaris. I´m hoping to buy my first JLC alarm watch in 2009 and these kind of posts are a great inspiration. I almost fainted LOL hearing about the possability of a new Memovox or Master Reveil. Or ma... 

Thanks Dje ...

"New generation of alarm watches" ?? Sounds very nice Now, I'll get myself a cup of coffee, sit down and dream a bit. Thanks for the report Dje. Un saludo, Tony

So you were telling the truth !!

When waiting for the Polaris delivery, I often wondered about the cal 956 that would power it, and it turns we had a pic and descriptions in front of our noses !! jlc.watchprosite.com 8/ I did go hunting for it in the catalogue ... you devil you ... Thank... 

Thanks - a little confused...

I thought the Amvox 1 continaed the Cal. 918, not 916? The same as the Master Compressor Memovox? Cheers, Al...

The Cal 916 was born in 1969, if I'm not wrong...And lived something like 10 years... But The 916 was so reliable that it was replaced by the 918 ( Amvox I ) in 2005. So the 918 is derivated from the 916. Hope it's a bit clearer, now. Best. Nicolas

Thanks...

Then the caption below the 7th photo from the top is incorrect and should read Cal. 918? Thanks, Al

The alarm mechanism...

Are there a pictures of the caseback? I am trying to figure out how the hammer enagages the resonator through the movement of the rotor..... Thanks.

I undertand it does not have to clear the rotor ...

From what Dje has posted sometime ago on the EWA: "But you get more this time. Instead of the traditional case back fixed gong you get a special secret alloy gong that surrounds the whole movement and is fixed by two pins to the case middle. " click here ...  

Thanks DJE
