This is a picture I wanted to take for a long time: My Amvox One on its signed papers, signed by its designer, Magali Metrailler. A signature, and a sketch of the compressor crown which was her first challenge. The text says: " My first challenge: Working...  

Obviously her avantgarde spirit & flexible mind influenced & designed a whole series of sports watches ! Still also love the compressor principle , eg in the MCM (crown), the TTP Polaris and also in the subsequent Amvox-2 ( I assume). A great period for J... 

Which still is an unique detail! As for the TT Polaris, no compressor crowns as well. Yes, Magali brought some fresh air in the JLC collections, indeed. This Amvox One is a good example. How an iconic watch can be revisited, in an original way. Best, my d... 

The last few recent design I know from her highness are BALL Watch BMW models and etc. Rather surprise she work with BALL watch. Not sure if she is still there.

I think some were quite successful, such as the MC Memovox and the Amvox I and II. As to redo the past, well, quite a lot of modern watches have a strong link with the past: Master Calendar, Master Control, Master Memovox, well, most of them in the Master... 

This was from a magazine that is more than a decade. She said-" watch design to me has never been solely about technicality or aesthetics. But what it had always got to be about is inciting emotion and giving pleasure." . Which I guess it true given the w...  

My third favorite AMVOX after the II and III, and in no way do I look at it in any lesser way than the others....

... which makes a lovely summer watch in contrast to a tanned skin. Very nice watch! You got a true historic document here in a picture with those sketches as background!! Thanks for sharing my friend! Abrazos desde las Pampas! Abel
