Jaeger-LeCoultre

Here is coming the first sight of the spring. This is not SIHH yet but a first preview is always a pleasure. Please take some time to discover the new Master Compressor Extreme, the second model in the heavy duty range from Jaeger-LeCoultre. You can’t liv...  

I couldn't resist the EWC, and this one is even better !! thx for sharing this preview !! Patrick

Great news that JLC has finally updated its memovox movement (roughly unchanged over ~30 years and which had several very perfectible functionnal flaws). It seems that all the improvements I have always wanted to see (i.e. the possibility to match the old... 

...I couldn't agree with you more. The over-sized watch-on-steroids is out of control. This watch looks so busy I dont even know where to look for the actual time. It gives me a headache. I'm saddened that JLC even got into the large watch race, along wit... 

.. this on ThePuristS you have no idea. Bravo Jerome. The geo-vox combo has been a long time coming and I thought it was cancelled last year; well at least delayed then. Anyhow, I hope this movement gets exploited in a more -ahem- classic set of clothes. ... 

... though this watch is a nice improvement technologically and with respect to the dial design (the alarm aperture should have been much smaller for the sake of the balance of the dial and as there is no reason to make ist such big) it definitely is a sp... 

Thanks for your support. I see what you mean with sport watches and suits, for me that’s like sneakers and suits. But the problem is not the watch but the wearer. Cheers Dje

What are they doing? Too busy of a look. Seems out of character for them. I truly think the original EWC "Rossi" is the best looking out of all of these... (Picture borrowed from Asi) No "46" on the dial - very tasteful and the combination of functions wo...  

I have said that my Master Compressor Chrongraph was big when I got it, no not the Extreme, just the Chronograph. As time pass on, and it has had a good deal of it's time on my wrist, it keeps getting smaller... But anyhow it's a big watch, in mine and so... 

Hi Doc my friend, Don?t ask me I don?t know. You know VC does the same IMO with the 40 mm and more Patrimony new models (at least they keep more normal/smaller sizes). As you point we get used to some larger watches (I?m just wearing a 43 mm Ikepod Hemipo... 

No message body

to the EWC Rossi,,,,,one being the sports and the other a perfect travel watch,,,, Order already placed BIG SCORE for JLC Cheers, Asi

Any pics of the standard "non-limited" steel/titanium version?

I have longed for a Geographique with alarm, this takes it one step further! -Dean

Great fun that on the city disc, many of the locations (Mugello, Donington, my home track at Laguna Seca, etc.) are famous race tracks! I love the appearance of the GR version, and have long wanted a JLC alarm watch, but this one is too big for me. Like m... 

i god i was ofline 2 days and coming back i read that there was some news on JLC (probably EWC related)....gosh... i´m waiting on my EWC to come back from the Factory (24h ring play problem) and would really love to hear the news....(whers the "cry" smile... 

more comments later, when I have REAL net access. tap tap tap'ing on virtual PDA keyboard - AAARGH!!!! nice one, MJLC!

It looks like an amazing piece of engineering, but, to me, a chronograph makes more sense for an "extreme" sports watch. An alarm is something I'd use to remind me of appointments, or perhaps that the opera is about to start. i.e. a watch to be worn with ...

Maybe I'm too old school but I'd love the original Master Geographigue with an alarm as when one is travelling , a worldtime as well as an alarm is most practical in a watch that can be worn for official functions in a suit. However having said that anoth... 

Well, I just hope there is a transparent back.

The pygmy penguins will be pleased......
