Watches like this made me wish I didn't have the wrist/hand size of a 12 year old girl :\
Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor Extreme Lab Two. A super high definition picture.
I reworked the resolution and the size of this photo, as the watch deserves it. Certainly one of the most original creation from Jaeger Lecoultre from these last 13 years. Almost an Independent Creation! Best, Nicolas ...
Fantastic shot & post processing !
One almost can feel it’s a 3-D feature - Great ! Thx for sharing ! 🙂🙂
I really see how the numerals float off the dial.
Super cool and original design by JLC. Question - in total, across all of the versions of this watch, how many do you guess the brand produced?
The Rose Gold numbers always throw me but I think it is 950 total?
300 red ti, 300 blue ti, 200 black rg, 150 brown rg?
Amazing piece and an incredible relative value nowadays.
If RM was on the dial it would be 10x the price.
What’s a super looking thing.
For me, it’s the engineering that has gone into that whole chrono pusher assembly, from the way the guards jut out of the evacuated case sides to the way the actual pushers are both clearly protected and operated. JLC sure does know how to pull all the st...
This is futuristic and contemporary all at once.
Great photo of this. Need to see it in person some day. The size is large but guessing wearable with the shorter lugs. Very compelling!
The EL2 is super wearable, even for smaller wrist sizes due to the short and articulating lugs. See below on my 16.5cm (6.5 inch wrist)...
Normally with larger watches, there is a float between where the strap meets the case and how it wraps around the wrist. Due to the articulating lugs of the EL2, there is NO strap float and it is also extremely comfortable as well. Even though it is a hug...
Thanks, helpful explanation. The wearability factor makes a big difference. I need to find one of these to try in person since it would be totally different from anything else I own.
By the way, the breadth of your collection never ceases to amaze me!
Down the arm shot of the crazy short lugs and thick strap that flares at the case
Very very comfortable and mega secure! ...
Worth a revisit.
The Extreme Lab 2 just keeps giving. Hard to imagine the model is nearly 10 years old.
When you look at the list of complications, it is hard to believe it is a mechanical timepiece! Lovely shot! Glad I saw it on a big screen :)
On the same compressor topic, I was listing the JLC alarm models: Memovox, AMVOX, Compressor, Extreme W Alarm, Polaris, etc. and the Extreme W Alarm popped up! What do you think about the wrist alarm version? Looking forward to reading you! Best, E.
This one?
I love it! I owned it when it was issued, sold it three years after, but this is one I really regret. ...
Yes, this one is very nice, but I meant the Extreme Compressor W Alarm.
Photo from Xupes ...
Exactly, it looks and must feel big!
A side by side photo with the Master Compressor Alarm would shock! Best, E.
