Hi all, Dualmatic newbie here.....
Hi there, been searching the web for more information on my new pre-owned purchase - a Master Compressor Dualmatic, and there's really not much about. Personally i love the watch but it was something of a spur of the moment purchase and I'm wondering why there's not much information about, and there also appear to very few for sale. Can anyone comment please?

Welcome to PuristSPro, Chelmersmudge!
The JLC experts will be around shortly to answer with more detail Your Dualmatic is part of the Magali Metrailler designed range of Master Compressor watches and its Master Compressor Memovox \'sister\' is one of the more popular watches here (on my shopp...
In the early 2000's ( 2002 to be precise ), Jaeger Lecoultre launched a new line of products, the Master Compressor.

My collecting so far has involved trying to spot a reasonable deal on a more basic model of watch, then when I spot something else that takes my fancy and have the spare cash trading 'up'. So sold my first watch (Speedy obviously ) when i spotted a deal o...
Congrats!
It's worth it to read the review of the 975 "Autotractor" movement that's posted somewhere here. I owned the Hometime, and after it was stolen managed eventually to replace it with a Dualmatic, which I have now owned for...over 7 years. It is extremely ro...
