Haven’t worn the Master Compressor Memovox for too long…
My first JLC and a reminder of the Magali Metrailler era at the maison 😍
So it is 😁
All 4 cars in the shot are Teutonic 😉 There’s an air-Quattro directly underneath the wrist, a Phaeton next to it and a /8 Coupe in blue next to that 😊
Slowly managed to unpack most of them 😁
1:18 car models being another collecting theme 😉👍🏻
I can imagine it most have been quite exciting, when it came out…
The crowns are still a blast, so much more user friendly than a screw down one 👏🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoy it 😊👍🏻
So much about it that was right and innovative about it at the time (apart from the non-quick set date 🤷🏻♂️). And back then one made new pieces that were a homage to historical ones, rather than re-editions 😉
The watch is as beautiful as the designer,
she also designed the Ballwatch & BMW collaboration. If only Ballwatch partner with Benz…
Yes, that was a lovely one, indeed. Original, full of character. not everyone's watch, but that was a very good thing for me.
Difficult for me to picture…
Given that I wasn’t around at the time and when I first saw it it was modern but not shockingly so 😊
Always nice to see this watch but when I see it I feel a bit sad.
When it was introduced I loved the look of it and lusted after it. Eventually I managed to get one and was delighted with the size, design of the dial, ease of operation of the alarm function. In fact everything about it was great. Unfortunately, for me, it became very uncomfortable to wear owing to the size of the compressor crowns which used to dig in almost constantly to the back of my hand. This gradually became unacceptable and I had to let the watch go. I still miss it but enjoy seeing others enjoying theirs. Regards Kev.
The problem for me what the back, with the engraved sphere... Not too comfortable to wear...
I second that.
I agree with Nico. It was my first JLC. I still love it but man o man, that gold medallion really bothered me.
