Extreme Lab 2 - always a pleasure

Just want to share some pictures of this special watch.
I see it as an expression of the JLC savoir-faire or maybe vouloir-faire in the sense that they wanted to demonstrate their capabilities to the world. Even today, some 12-14 years later it still mamages to surprise and delight people…well, maybe more surprise than delight. Quite a few people always think it’s a Mille or an Hublot and are shocked to find that it is ‘just’ a JLC.
Anyway, I love it.

Just hoping that one day they step back a bit from their recent oligarch watch designs (triple tourbillons etc) and dial color-driven business development
I stand corrected. Thank you, very true.

Let me try to rephrase my thinking. I find that the balance between halo-watches and watches for more normal budgets has shifted. I (seem to) remember ia time where you were able to choose between a number of Master Controls, Master Compressors, Amvoxes a...
“Just a JLC” 😂

It’s a crazy statement but also perfectly understandable. This one is so cool.
Clearly driven by different approaches to our watch hobby

Which is all fine. I certainly have my prejudices too against certain brands - and once in a while I do get a wake-up call making me realize that they actually do great stuff, just coming at it from a different perspective.
Just a JLC

While Mille can be, but Hublot is just a Hublot. Hublot wins my watch brand of the day contest by be surfing on the WPS App.
Great shots.

I likewise think very highly of these watches from their most inspired era.... Much enjoyment, Filip
Thank you.

Struggling to accept JLC’s current focus/direction - but again, probably lots of things I don’t know about JLC as a business.
True, it is a massive watch

It always takes me a bit of time adjusting to its size in all dimensions. But then I always end up smiling. .
Great photos! Aways so much to see.

Mine has been back in Switzerland for a full service since the beginning of Jan. I'm getting impatient wanting it back on the wrist. Your photos have helped tide me over haha.
