Was thinking / hoping the same, David
Funny how a dial makes a watch looking different.
To me, the ruthenium dial works very well and nicely with this big watch.
I saw it on the platinum Boutique Edition, and was already thinking the same, at this moment.
In SS?
Why not in Titanium?
Do you imagine the killing combo between the ruthenium dial and the light grey titanium case???
WOW.
Best, my friend.

A new version of the Extrem World Compressor: The INVERSSOR!
You all know this watch: Or more dressy with its crocodile strap: There were some special EWC, in Limited Edition: - The Paris Boutique: ( Credit pic: Jester ) - The Emmanuel Coindre version: ( Pic : Ravination ) - The Rossi: ( Pic: Asi ) SS, RG or Platin...
They are nice...Nicolas
I like the first one best though. What is the size of the watch? 44mm? Warm regards, iAn
All the EWC are 46,3 mm, Ian
The EWC is a watch to be seen in the flesh. As I previously wrote, I didn't like it on the pics, and even in the flesh, when I saw it first. Then, my mind changed... So, Truth is a very relative concept... Best, Nicolas
That's true Nicolas
Speaking from personal experience, I didn't like the Patek Aquanaut in picture. And I still wasn't impressed when it was laid out before my eyes. I was prodded to try it on and all of a sudden the watch looked different on the wrist. It just grew on me......
A cleaner look
achieved through the 'motion indicator' moved from 6 to 12 and in a narrow version. Very very nice indeed! Asi
In Love, Bijo?
Not bad, eeeh? It's curious how a dial can change the perception of a watch... Best, Nicolas
what is even more surprising ...
is that the case mentions: "edition speciale" instead of "edition limitee". interesting ... (especially for me who is left handed
THe appellation is better suited for Boutique Edition, IMO.
So you're left handed? You're done! This watch is for you! Best, Nicolas
EWC rules
In an airport lounge, looking at my EWC Rossi while typing this. This version is very interesting, almost make me want to get another one just for fun!
It would make an awesome pair, AT
A Fiddy and a Destro... Seriously, this is an awesome version of the EWC, my friend. The layout and the color of the dial make all! Best, Nicolas
Lefty EWC...
I love this dial - please JLC release this dial in the stainless steel right-haded version - pplleeaassee!!!!! Thanks Nicolas David

EWC, ruthenium dial, titanium case...
Nicolas, you should work for JLC's design department!! lol. What a great combination that would be, if the case looked like the Tides of Time EWC Alarm with this new ruthenium dial - WOW. Maybe I should hold off my next purchase for the time being and see...
LOL, David..I fear they don't need me. :)
Yes, it would be great to see such a combo. The weight will be fantasticly light, and the chromatic association certainly great. Sometimes, Dreams come true! Best, Nicolas
Indeed, a winning combination...
That would be really exciting. I love the EWC, it is top of my hit list currently. Cheers David
i just love the ruthenium dial!
Thanks Nicolas for sharing the pictures. And yes, the ruthenium dials certainly look better in the metal. i just might have to head down to the boutique to check it out! Cheers, MosesL
Indeed, to be seen in the flesh
To not only appreciate the ruthenium dial, but also the volumes of the watch, and its particular look, due to the letf handed location of the pushers and crowns. Special, appealing and spicy at the same time. Best, Nicolas.
What a relief.
I thought there might be yet another watch to add to the list. LOL. But I don't need a lefty EWC. Nice idea to add a south paw version of the watch. I think U.S. President Obama should have one now. The ruthenium dial is a nice change. Not crazy about the...
WOT NO AMVOX RESPO...
I thought the Amvox would have exclusive rights to your wrist!!! lol Cheers David
I don't like to neglect other family members
You tease me, David! LOL. Not to worry, both JLCs have been getting ample wrist time. Interestingly, the AMVOX has made me appreciate the EWC even more, and vice versa, for all their differences and similarities. I remain quite in love with the EWC as a w...
Wrist time...
I'm sure both your wonderful JLC chrono's get ample wrist time. As for me, my daily wearer is generally my Squadra HT. Since I purchased my JLC, my Omega's don't seem to get any wrist time whatsoever. I am still deliberating about my next purchase, but I ...
Aaah, Respo, was waiting for your observations
The EWC was a bit misunderstood when presented the first time in 2005, certainly because it was a first for JLC to release such a big watch. BUT the EWC has some very interesting points, as a reliable caliber, a very solid construction, and friendly compl...
quite interesting...
I would prefer a black dial as it makes the watch sportier and a bit smaller cheers
You have the black dial on the " normal " version, Pink Panther
So you can choose YOUR EWC! Best, Nicolas
I am...
left handed However, I have to see it in person and maybe I will like this dial cheers
The future is indeed nigh.
A bit too big for me personally, but it is a nice looking contemporary piece from JLC. Though the left-handed version is something new but obviously impractical to the many right-handed people out there, I think that the RG version with rubber strap would...
Thanks for your input, my friend.
Well, we have to get used to this big size to appreciate it, indeed. If we are able to, this is a Chrono to consider. Best! Nicolas
A Question
The Inverssor is a great variation of already great EWC. I actually like the very first one though. The color combination of regular production EWC rules against SEs, IMHO. One thing I do not like about EWC is some dots at odd positions. My question is wh...
Frankly, don't know, JPSF
And to be honest, didn't even noticed... Will ask. Best, Nicolas
Well mon ami...
this watch is, indeed, a watch to be considered... Why?... because i think that these rutherium dials are so cool... the appereance of this dials makes a new watch, a new concept for a watch... and I love this look. Between black and rutherium dials, gene...
Thanks, Hermano
For your nice words, as always. Aaah, I have a surprise for you... Best, Nicolas
Thanks Hermano...
you know that I´m a "nice words" boy A surprise?.... umm.... estoy impaciente... Un fuerte abrazo emilio
minority opinion
I love JLC. I love the EWC. I have one word for this version: no. Please. This is all wrong: the modified seconds counter placed under the JLC name looks out of place, the 'leftie' look doesnt work (for me), and the name 'Inverssor' sounds sooo tacky. I c...
You won't be flamed for that, Xavier.
You express in a passionate way your opinion, and it is as valauable as those who like this watch. Therefore you explained why, which is important for all of us. Your answer helps to feel the watch, to weight it. Much better than a simply " I hate it ". T...
Thanks
Good to know i can freely express my opinions Love this forum... Cheers Xavier
That's the only way to feed our thoughts, Xavier
When you love a watch, why not saying it loud? When you don't why not the same, BUT, as when you love a watch, it is always better to expalin, to elaborate. And always in a polite way, which is your case. Best, Nicolas
