JLC, the EWC and the Dakar Rally...

 
 By: amanico : January 6th, 2011-03:17
As we spoke about the resistance to the shocks virtues of the E.W.C, here is a press files I just received, mentionning the relation between JLC and the 2011 Dakar Rally: PRESS FILES: Jaeger-LeCoultre and Vasilis Orfanos at the Dakar Rally 2011 Master Com...  

wow

that is an unbelievable test - if the EWC can tolerate the shocks and abuse of this event, then it can go anywhere and do anything. I am really impressed. --Sancerre

What I hope is that JLC will check the entire watch after the Rallye.

And then see and mleasure the impact of the event on the watch. Now, that would be very meaningful. Best, Nicolas ( Day - 6 )

It would certainly be an interesting performance test!

I'd also like to see pictures from before and after -- imagine the wear and tear!

Always proud of mine!

I cannot tell which model Vasilis Orfanos is wearing in the photo, but I was surprised to see JLC publish a photo of the first generation in the press file (or was that inserted by you, Vlad?) rather than the new one with the carbon fiber dial. Way to go ...  

ewc might be might favorite daily...

I agree Stefan

I don't know about you, but I definitely need to get some JLC accessories, and that shirt and hat would be a good start. ;-) Best, respo

same as you...

It shows once again what a tough watch worthy of its name the EWC is! Thanks for sharing, my friend Best Blomman

 By: P@trick@Belgium : January 6th, 2011-14:46
I think you can call me an extreme addict ... I had 2 steel ones and the golden Rossi version, .... and lurking now for the newest version ......  

Aaah, much better! :)

No message body

No worries, Patrick

Not much time spent in the living room...the EWC begs to be taken out and about... But I looooove your snow photos. Best, respo...  

That's what these Extreme watches are made for.

Not sure how many times Mr Orfanos checked time during the rally. Best, Goh
