I am definitely in for an EL3...
you know my choice when it comes to the EL1 and EL2 Nico. While I absolutely LOVE and appreciate the technology of the EL1 I prefer the functionality of the EL2 which I consider one of the best, if not the best, sports watches made. Nothing comes close to it in form, function, design, durability, concept, execution, wearability, and comfort for less than 100k !! I have worn mine non-stop for the past few weeks and if I had to choose 1 watch, which is impossible, it would be the EL2 for all the reasons I mentioned.
Now if JLC decides to make an EL3, I would like to see them implement the ZERO oil concept from the EL1 as well as incorporate an alarm which is a function JLC has mastered throughout it's history. I really am hard pressed to think of something else JLC could do to improve the EL2 when it comes to function and practicality since it ALREADY has every function I would want and need (chronograph, GMT, power reserve, 100m water resistance, capable of withstanding RIDICULOUS shock due to the case inside another case, ceramic bezel, etc...)
Again, the only thing I could think of is an alarm, zero oil tech, and maybe more watch resistance (deeper depth rating) which is just for bragging rights since 99.9% of people will not go down pass 50m anyways.
I wore my EL2 while scuba diving and snorkeling in Hawaii with my wife and it did not skip a beat. I took turns wearing the EL2, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, and D Blue. All performed exactly the same although the dedicated divers had a rotating bezel in the case my dive computer failed.
Forgot to say that I have worn my EL2 while playing golf, squash, tennis, basketball, skiing, snowboarding, diving, sky-diving, bungey jumping, mountain climbing, trekking, cycling, and probably several other things I am forgeting. I have put it through it's intended use and I can give an honest testimonial for it's durability and practicality. It is a watch I am not afraid to wear in ANY active occasion.
I, like you, and a few others here would love to see JLC produce an EL3 and hopefully they will surprise us yet again with another MONSTER of a watch. Here is hoping for the best.
Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor Extreme Lab One and Two. What about a Three?
The funny thing when you compare the Extreme Lab One and the Two, is that the most innovative watch is not the one you think it is... The One has a clear sporty look, even with its Tourbillon and its open dial. It looks less " technical " than the Two, wh...
The first time I saw the MEL1, I knew this would be the ultimate watch to get.
Dreams about Lab 3? Just a slightly smaller case with 42 mm at maximum and less than $35,000 MRSP... :‘D
The thing with me is, that most times it's just the size. I have a very strict idea of the size for a specific watch.
For me, a watch has to be 37-42 mm in diameter, if not I give a fuck about it's beauty and rant all the time.
No, thanks. Aesthetics, aesthetics, aesthetics...
In this matter I'm very conservative.
Extreme Lab1.The most innovative watch from JLC in 21th century.
As for the ExtremeLab3 I would like to see a new "zero oil" watch with countdown digital display chronograph alarm diver. Best, Yannis
I too would love to see a ExtremeLab3 with
Zero oil, countdown digital display Chronograph and of course a epic tourbillon that can handle anything that is thrown at it... Smaller case size than the 1 and I too think we should let the design team run wild! I would rather it was hard for us to be a...
That’s the challenge!
I do prefer the LAB1 over LAB2 and as you know very well I generally prefer complicated over simplicity when it comes to these LABs especially.
I believe all Extreme LAB watches are intended for extreme conditions of use.
At least that is the idea and that is what the JLC marketing want us to believe. F1 champion Jenson Button wearing an Extreme LAB 1 Stephane Schaffte wearing an extreme LAB 1 on mount Antoine LeCoultre. Logically, if JLC were to make an Extreme LAB 3, it ...
I remember these two pictures very well, David. Funnily, we are several to think about a superlative dive watch! Something ala X Fathoms, but ala JC. You will tell me that the Pro Geo already does that.
So we'll need something a bit different though... Best, Nicolas
I somewhat miss the Extreme-Lab-Collection – it really showed the sophistication and capabilities of Jaeger-LeCoultre!
P.S.: I forgot to mention this in my early post.

Just thought of something Nico...
JLC has put an enormous amount of R&D in the EL1 and EL2. Just think if Richard Mille or AP produced a watch like the EL1 or EL2 and the exorbitant price it would command. We are actually lucky JLC has developed these watches since we can enjoy them for a...
Yes, but these costs would command a suite to the Extreme Lab Saga! This is the great interest and raison d'être of the Extreme Lab One. A laboratory watch for the production to come.
BUT other watches have to see the light, in hommage to the Lab One. They know how to do it. They have to do it, now. Best, Nicolas
What about...
a PC? Think of it as their answer to the PP 5740 and AP 15305. Elements incorporated from the EL 1 & 2, and possibly something that would make setting the watch less tedious than the norm. Sincerely and Respectfully Joseph
Very advanced watches
What would you like for a third iteration? An alarm? A diver? (Though I think the One is kind of) A triple calendar with moon phases? Thanks for sharing. René
I love your idea! 😍😍😍
Kind of an extremed out Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic (still my grail) or Navy Seals??? That would be awesome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Let’s hope. René
Does anyone know the reason
for the notch in the date indicator arrow on the first watch? I've often wondered and can come up with no logical explanation myself.
