My wish would be…
Nicolas, my friend – these kind of wishing games are always heartbreaking…
Because you fill your head with a lot of things that may we may never see.
But I do wish for;
A: TT Geophysic, manual, solid case back, not too big. With the same miss formed print on the dial but engraved instead of the Globe sticker – in blue.
B: TT Futurematic, fully automatic like the original, smaller then 40mm, SS case, silver dial, sub-dials no port holes.
C: A Reverso Memovox in a GT case.
D: A Funky Memo in the spirit of the 70’s Memovox’s, not a TT.
E: A classic Minute Repeater that I can afford.
But only one of the above…
Because this year will be a very lean watch year…
Am I asking too much..?!

JLC SIHH 2012: What are you expecting?
Ok, let's have a small game, to help us to wait till the 16th of January. What do you think we'll have, this year? We already saw two pieces from the 2012 collection: The Duometre à Q.L 40, 5 mm: And the Reverso UT Red Dial: What would be the tendance, ac...
A day and month addition to the master moon ultra thin and a bracelet for the TT1931 :)
and a steel MR reverso in the GT case for 30,000 euro......... LOL you did ask but...BUT most of all.....I want that steel reverso with enamel dial you had in the conspiracy from 2011 LMAO Best, cant wait Imran
You are faithful to your ideas, and I love that, my friend.
Who knows? Even if I doubt JLC will release a SS Reverso with an enamel dial, I still think that the more we are to want that, the more we'll have the chance to see such a project becoming truth, one day. But I would be very happy with a white enamel / wh...
Similar to imran but different case. I'd be interested to acquire a Grande Reverso ...
... with complete calendar and moonphase in the same or similar layout as the Master Moon but possibly the date around the moonphase because of the rectangular dial. Oh, I am really obsessive... Ruckdee
Yes, that would be a great one. The Reverso case
Would sublimate such a nice complication. Nice idea, Ruckdee, and, by the way, you are totally right to be obsessive. Best, Nicolas.
Definately an addition to the MUT line
Maybe something new in the compressor line? We've seen some subtle tweeks (changes to the dial of the chrono, for eg) but nothing really new. Maybe a Compressor QP? A
I'm not even sure it would be possible
dunno how they would handle the corrector button...
Thinner & more elegant watches.
I'd like to see an expansion of the Ultra Thin line or continued changes in the Master Control line to reduce bezel size & watch thickness. The original Master Control watches had great proportions & I'd like to see a reasonably sized (& priced) perpetual...
As for the perpetual calendar, JLC released a new one, in 2011.
1 mm less big ( 40 mm, now ) with some other cosmetic changes... In SS or in RG case. Like you, I would like to see JLC go on with their new cases... We'll soon know! Best, Nicolas
MUT 38 mm,
white gold, dark blue dial. In general I would like to see as many white gold/platinum offerings as there are red gold versions. Best, Kari
Just forget ruthenium and stick on blue!
Perhaps you could have a chat with JLC. A success-fee of a beer will be guaranteed and I would be among the first ones to pick up such a beauty! Best, Kari
Just beer? Hmmm.... Not a great motviation! ;)
Will try to talk to the Man... Best, Nicolas.
If you bother to come to Estonia,
some other goodies are available too. You know the Paris prices... even one beer is an investment. Best, Kari
More variations
I agree. Beyond new models & revised models, if JLC offered their line with a greater variety of dials in all metals, it would be nice. I think that the entire Master Control line should be offered with a choice of light or dark dial (as some pieces a...
Simple answer.
I want a TT Geophysic, but I would settle for Imram's SS Reveso with the enamel dial. As you can see nothing ostentatious. Best regards, George
Can we dream...?
Firstly a ludicrous dream of an affordable minute repeater then I would leave yours alone But I would settle for a sporty alarm which is only linked to JLC with no third party advertisment. Finally last years very affordable master perpetual with either a...
I can already realize one dream ...
An affordable minute repeater... You can hunt a Reverso Minute Repeater in Rose Gold, they come out at an indecent low price. A Black dialed perpetual, that would be something! I totally concur. As for the sporty Alarm, try to find the MC Memovox... Funni...
A new alarm would be great.
I'd like to see an alarm watch in the standard (not Navy Seals) Compressor Diving line.
In the diving line, you had ...
The MC Memo, the NSA, the Tribute To Polaris, and the Tribute To Deep Sea Alarm... I doubt there is something more, in the tube, at least in a close horizon... But who knows, except JLC? Best, Nicolas.
I wish for NOTHING!
I am in trouble already to catch up with whats available from JLC!And please stop the press pic of the red Reverso.....That is a cooool watch. Jokes apart. I hope no more Duometre creations or too many declination for a year or two(just to catch breath )....
I know this feeling.
I am still running after a Duometre, now that I don't have it anymore.... Then, I have to get a TT DSA Europe, a TT R 1931 ( vut which color, I don't know... ), A Memo Black Cal 914, as well as a MC Memo ( Damn stupid, I should not have sold it! ), plus a...
Focus on the Master Control series...
Not sure what their bread and butter watches are in this line BUT... If I were to equate forum popularity with sales (and that is dangerously stupid, i know, but humor me), I'd say the Master Control model isn't quite as "popular" for an entry level JLC v...
I totally agree with you on the Master Control.
I would slightly improve it, on the aesthetical field... The case and the dial. I also think it is a matter of education, about the Master Control, and about JLC watches in general, when you compare them to the holy monster Rolex. On the Vintage ( but it ...
Agree with both of you
The Master Control needs and deserves an aestetical touch up to the recent Master line... But please keep my beloved Alpha Hands! As over the past years many tributes have been paid, the Geophysic would be in order! Despite its age,still a stunning watch ...
We share many common targets. Geophysic and Broad Arrow.
Hope JLC will take our prays in count! As for the Master Control, the improvements will come, one day or another... The revolution of the fine case has arrived, with some models like the Hometime, the Memovox, the Perpetual Calendar, and the introduction ...
The skeleton Minute Repeater...
There is something which is very colse to that: The Reverso Repetition Minutes à Rideau... Which was released in 2011. Not a skeleton, though, but a nice open dial. A for the Amvox, I do agree with you... I am waiting for something exciting and well ...
I think we'll see one, one day. Like other complications, such as ...
An alarm, a delicious one, or maybe a World Time, a greeat perpetual calendar, well, the sky is the only limit! Best, Nicolas.
Not expecting but dreaming ...
On a SS sport/diver watch that the rest of us can wear that includes: a) Minute hand that come closer to the minute marks. b) An external bezel that protects the crystal. c) Enough lume (think about Omega recent lume) d) Does not requires the selling of a...
Hmmm. I like your criterias... Specially when it comes to manual movements.
Without Date. Best, Nicolas
It's not what I want but
I suspect we'll see one or more of those movement recasings - eg master control world chronograph (non-extreme) ala amvox-5. This seems to be a trend amongst many brands. What I would like is something hand wound like a new Reverso chrono or a new Reverso...
To be honest, I didn't ( and still don't like ) the Amvox 5.
Too much of a double badged EWC, here, without inspiration, I find. BUT sometimes, improvements on the case are good. An example? The 2011 perpetual calendar, whose case is now elegant. Let's wait and see... 13 days to wait! Best, Damien. Nicolas.
You already have several...
The Duometre à Chronographe, the MMR, the Septantieme, the Reverso Pt Nr 2, the ... and the... Your dream has come true, for several years, now. And maybe on or two things to come.... Best, Nicolas.
i expect ...
... like Damien mentioned, a Reverso with perpetual calendar would be great and timely. but i have another wild thought, why MJLC could consider to reissue Futurematic, or invert another Future-Futurematic that can lead the future trend again as they did ...
Funny that you mention the Futurematic.
I am working on a post dedicated to the Future of The Tribute Family. And of course, I think that the Futurematic has its place... Naturally. I feel- a guess or a dream?- that JLC will still explore the chapter of the " Tributes ". The question, or the ma...
My wish would be…
Nicolas, my friend – these kind of wishing games are always heartbreaking… Because you fill your head with a lot of things that may we may never see. But I do wish for; A: TT Geophysic, manual, solid case back, not too big. With the same miss formed print...
One more voice for the Geophysic. Thanks for your support!
The Reverso Memovox is a real sea snake... Will we see one, one day? A classic minute repeater AND affordable? Wow, this is like if you play the lottery. A very lean watch year? YOU??? Come on... YOU? Best, my friend. Nicolas.
+1 on a TT Geophysic .. and maybe ..
.. After quite some time, what about a Chronograph with real character ? (black/ black or maybe white subdials ?) -- the "Daytona" for JLC (?) - I tend to go along with a Memovox, as according to Blomman, also the idea of a Futurematic is interesting. Oth...
Weelll.. How right you are.. The point is ..
A) 1/ As I mentioned : ".. OTHER than that.." - and that included already two top wishes at least ( Geophysic & a Chronograph) 2/ and if I think of a MC Memovox - hmmm... 3/ and if, and ONLY if - a Minute Repeater would be affordable 4/ AND there still is...
The only thing I am allowed to tell you is ...
Prepare your pills! All the best, my young Padawan friend. 666.
A reverso memovox!!!!!
I can clearly see it with it's two tinny crowns on the same side of the case.... maybe a very classic champagne dial... a clear case back that lets you see the alarm mechanism... Oh my God!
561 Atmos Watch!?
How about a Atmos watch.... just to throw it out there... I would be impressed if it could be done.
I was wondering...
whether or not it could be possible? It would be amazing!!!! I have been dreaming about it all morning... perhaps we should approach JLC and MN with the proposal? JLC can do anything!!!! Love ya work Amanico
Please do Amanico,,,
It would certainly be a dream come true for me... I love the ATMOS concept and the aesthetics of the 561. As a watch, it would be friggin hot.... I hope it happens one day very soon. Thanks for asking them A.
Something like this... l
Lots of sapphire glass and not a circular case... more retro/TV? I had to use the beautifull 5711 to illustrate.... naughty I know. What do you reckon?...
Ok... let´s see...
... a little wishful dreaming... ... absolutely not larger than 40 mm! A big proud center seconds hand. A superclean dial focusing on precision; hours, minutes, seconds and also the markings between seconds. The secondshand perfectly touching those (print...
If you change the solid case back for a sapphire; you loose amagnetism.
But there was also a " non amagnetic " Geophysic: The De Luxe Version. Interesting points, though. Thanks for elaborating. Nicolas.
An Ultrathin Reverso with sapphire caseback
I do not think I am asking too much. Best regards, Baxter
Naaah, but two questions...
1/ Would it still be as thin as it is with a sahhpire case back? 2/ Would the outcome not be too disappointing, as the Cal 822 is really small, in such a case? Best, Nicolas.
