The Master Chrono is very compelling
May 14, 2010,05:38 AM
I love the hands. The superb dual finish of the main hands and blued subdial and seconds hands are wonderful. I also like the font used in the date window, although I would have preferred no date window at all.
It is great that JLC now has a Master Chronograph. I think it will be overshadowed by its brothers (the Duometre, the AMVOX II, and possibly the Compressors), but it really fills a gap as a dressier and more sober "simple" chronograph. It is a really worthy addition to the line up.
Wow, I really would like to see one of these in the metal now. I was not so intrigued by this model when it was first announced, but now...
Best,
respo

The new Texalium dial from Jaeger-LeCoultre! PART1
By: DRMW : May 14th, 2010-00:01
Hello all! I just returned from a happy outing taking photos of the new arrivals at the friendly neighborhood JLC Beverly Hills Boutique. Let's start with something that really caught my eye, a JLC Master Compressor Extreme World Chronograph with a Texali...

Agree...

Hello respo and thanks for looking! The design team at JLC did a great job with the hour and minute hands. I have to agree with you that the shape of the hands with the polish on one side and textured on the other goes really well with the blued subdial h...
Ming, do you know...

.... Ming, thanks very much for the nice reports with many beautiful pics. by the way, i find the Master Memovox is very charming as his predecessor, do you know they are black dial version? stefan
Hello Stefan!
By: DRMW : May 14th, 2010-08:27
Hello Stefan! AFAIK, the Master Memovox is available only in a silver dial and with a black dial on the Memovox International. What did you think of the Texalium dial? -MW
Lucky duck!

While I'm hard at work, you're at JLC seeing all the cool new stuff! The new Memovox is VERY convincing! I can't wait to see it in person! Maybe I'll swing by this weekend. Thanks for all the pictures! Cheers, Daos
So, Daos, where are you with your next watch?
By: amanico : May 14th, 2010-23:15
Do you have a more precise idea on your next watch, now that you saw them again? No, no, don't thank me...For this Evilesque Reminder. Best, VLAD 666.
Haven't seen the Memovox...

...in the flesh yet (only the Memo Int'l and that one is not for me). I feel I am nearing a conclusion, however. As to the two JLC from this year's SIHH that I was considering, I am favoring the Memovox over the chrono. Things would not be so complex if t...

I love that! The Master Memo is an iconic watch, Sister... You will see how friendly is an Alarm watch, on daily basis. The G.O PanoInverse is another nice monster, indeed. Get then both, I don't see any other solution. Best, Vlad Dracul.
Thanks Ming,
By: Goh : May 15th, 2010-02:48
for these wonderful series of reports and pictures. The Texalium dial looks stunning indeed, let's hope that JLC expands it to more watches. Like many, I just wish that the Master Chrono and Memovox was offered in black dial as an option. Having said that...
Definitely stop by.....
By: DRMW : May 15th, 2010-07:57
Hello Goh! If you are into carbon fiber materials definitely stop by a boutique and check out the Texalium dials as my pics don't do it justice, it's very cool! I'm a fan of black dials too but when you see the silvered dials in person it might change you...
I saw it at the SIHH preview party...
By: Goh : May 15th, 2010-08:14
about 3 months back. I just find that the centred international disc is a little big resulting in a somewhat busy dial overall, although I like quick-set date enhancement. Since I already have the Master Reveil, I would want one with black dial. But you a...
IRON MAN and the Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX 3! PART3

So what is the real secret to superhero IRON MAN's new power source? A Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX 3!!! How cool is the AMVOX 3? Thanks for looking, hope you all get to see these pieces and enjoy them like I have! -MW...
Darn it, Ming!
By: respo : May 14th, 2010-04:56
Just when I thought I had talked myself down from the ledge on this AMVOX III, you have to post these photos of that amazing watch! You will not be easily forgiven this time, my friend. Thanks for the, as always, great photos and reporting from the "other...

Thanks, Ming!

Great report and photos – as always! I am still waiting to see the “Normal” Memovox IRL. But it looks good! Maybe I have to add a silver dial to the memo collection..? Best Blomman
Hello Blomman!
By: DRMW : May 14th, 2010-08:38
Glad you liked the photos and appreciate you looking and commenting. Hope you are enjoying your new Memovox International! How's that double clasp working out? -MW
Very much! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : May 14th, 2010-10:14
Thanks for asking. Yes, I am enjoying the new Memo very much! There are several that have been curious about the new double folding clasp. I will try to put something together soon. Best Blomman
Nice texturized dials.
By: VMM : May 14th, 2010-02:24
I've always loved those carbon, kevlar, and similar dial because of the texture. So this is not the exception. Cool dial, not my kind of watch (too big), but I like the dial. Vte
Same here...
By: DRMW : May 14th, 2010-08:43
Hello Vte! I'm also a fan of carbon/kevlar type of materials so for me this dial is awesome! -MW
Agreed that the dial is much better in real than in pictures.
By: amanico : May 14th, 2010-03:01
Another great detail on this new EWC is the way JLC re designed the subdials, in a very classic way... Elegant, and sporty, a bit surprising at the first contact. A watch to think and re think about. Best, Nicolas
re: dial...
By: DRMW : May 14th, 2010-08:46
Hello Nicolas! The way JLC did the dial is really eye catching, I wonder what they will do next with it. Thanks for looking! -MW
