Master Compressor Chronograph...
Unluckily I don't have a MCC, but I find it interesting and sometimes I think I should buy it...
I cannot provide you pics or wristshots (there are a lot in the forum database, however) but I can tell you what I think about it, as I had it on my wrist.
First of all, I think it is a good watch with a great movement, with interesting features such as a vertical friction to start the chronograph, free sprung balance and ceramic ball bearings to avoid manteinence of the rotor. I also like the 72 hour power reserve, according to me it provides enough power to keep a good timing evenf if you don't wear it for a day or more or if you don't move often your wrist.
Aestethically, it's a watch that not everyone likes, mainly because of the crowns (considered too big) or its not classic design.
While I think the crowns are ok, the only thing I don't like is the hour counter. It's a watch that you have to try on your wrist before you can tell if you like it or not.
yeah, i realized later on...

Hi David, I am one the people that really liked this watch from the moment I saw it, the crown and compression buttons look fine to me on this watch . It fit what I was looking for as far as size (not to big, not too small), a modern manufacturer chrono m...
You're correct, David

We don't often see the MC Chrono, here, and there. Actually, I know some owners who are / were very happy with them! My guess is that the MCC lived in the shadow of 2 monsters: The Amvox II, and the EWC. That may explain the situation. BUT, those who own ...

Hi Guys, Thanks for all your informed responses. This too is one of my favourite JLC watches, as most said understated, yet a technically brilliant and well styled chronograph. I think the crown and pushers are just fine, I have no issue with the Compress...
