Sunday family reunion
Sat down and took stock of my JLC watches today.
This collection started with the inheritance of my father’s Polaris back as well as his E873 gold memovox in 2004. Next one was the Master Compressor Memovox - and the rest is history. 
I have let three JLCs go over the years, all to fund other purchases - a Master Control Hometime,a Master Control Geographic and the first Memovox with a sapphire back (I forget the exact reference).
Why so many JLC? I just love their no-nonsense approach to watchmaking - and I am obviously attracted to watches with slightly ‘off-piste’ complications, eg. the Amvox 2.
Thanks for looking!

Thank you - and the E873 is….
…such a cool and rare watch. The gold case gives it a strong wrist presence - and the design just adds character on top. Claus
Wow Claus, amazing collection, we've got the same taste and like JLC for the same reason! Thanks for sharing and wear them in good health! Best, E.
Ps: which hometime did you sell? White Dial? The Aston Martin is very tempting!
‘Just’ a normal version, 2 or 3 generations back.
But still one of my favorites. Got the 2nd timezone back with the EL2 but a totally different vibe. Thank you for your kind words. Claus
Thank you! And yes, the EL2 is worth striving for
To me the EL2 is a prime example of JLC stepping out from their normal approach to watch design. I can almost imagine the engineers rolling up the sleeves of their white coats and agreeing to go crazy for this one.
