Hi there,

Just waiting for the review to be consume and digest.LOLOL...

Initial look from the review would give me a kind of complex  feeling towards this watch.Black,grey and pink gold contrast some say special some say odd.One thing for sure the tourbi's bridge is too large in my opinion.There should be a better way of constructing the bridge in order for it to look sporty and at the same time revealing the tourbi in action.

Well,still too early to predict the verdict would researve my conclusion on this AMVOX3.

Thanks Jerome for the fast report and Nicolas thanks for remebering me.

This Amvox III is for me like a Baby Extrem Lab...Esthetically sepaking, but lso mechaniccaly, as you will see on the case back something you saw in the Extrem Lab...The Rotor.



As for the bridge of the Tourbillon, too big or not too big, that is the question.

Personally, I don't think it's too big.

Look at this pic:



I rather think that the size is very coherent due to the dimension of the dial...And its look, borrowed to the vehicle world, is very well adapted for this Amvox, IMHO.

It reminds me the 1st thoughts on the Amvox II...A lot of pepole were criticizing the design of the watch, and finally, when they get used to, or when they was it in the flesh, the same people changed their mind.

Well, im' waiting for you on the 14th of april! LOL

Hi Moderator,

Thanks for paying attention to me.Appreciate it so much....

The Rg part in the watch will they replace it with stainless steel ot titanium in long run on normal production pieces???

On the 14th of April...LOLOL....we will see.LOLOL....

Thanks for the clarification,seems better impression must coherent with Aston Martin,thats the background//

MetSi..my friend.

As it seems that this Amvox III will be a LE of 300 pieces, with no further development...
So it will be the one and only one version.
And, the strange thing is, that normally, I'm not a colored gold guy, I don't like it, but this one brings a stunning contrast, and I appreciate it a lot.

It was a real chock for me.

But only the idiots never change their mind! LOL

Hope to see you on the 14 of April...A word is a word. LOLOLOL

Best.

Hi Nicolas,

I am afraid that Amvox 3 has disappointed me,just like i will disappoint you on the coming 14th April.LOLOL.....

Anyway,thanks for the invitation,due to my hectic schedule lately,i need to cancel all my trips in order to give ways to my work.Therefore,can buy more watches in the future.LOLOL....

produce a generation ZZZ watch.  JLC are not alone in this, but perhaps the most visible exponent of the technique.  I do not wish to pour scorn on other's hard work, but this is about as far away from my taste as it is possible to get (of course Zenith are still out there blazing a trail)....

Hi Andrew,

Honestly I find this watch true to JLC! This is a glamorous JLC but a great one!

Still that's of course your right not to like it!

Cheers

"The rotor obviously turns on ceramic ball bearings to reduce friction. This feature is now nearly generalized to all JLC auto calibres."

When did this feature start??  Without opening it, does my MC Memovox (bought new in January) use this ceramic ball bearing technology??

Hi,

In fact I think that the "older" Memovox calibre in the Amvox1 and the Master Compressor Memovox is the only auto calibre left without ceramic ball bearings.

I may be wrong but probably no.

Cheers

a big difference, Oui. I think this watch has testosterone and will be a great car watch, the tourbillon bridge is big but adds to the bold nature of the watch. I like it and can't wait for my AD to get it in. Best, Tim

Like " un air de famille"...

Extrem Lab:
The Dial:



Same GMT Hand, quite the same bridge for the tourbillon...Quite the same design for the dial...

The Case Back:



The same Rotor.

Interesting, no?

Best.

A beautiful watch, my fav Amvox !

Fr.Xavier

But how much is it? LOL
I actually wanted a AMVOX with design elements from the LAB but did not expect the tourb or rose gold!
I think I will need to when the lottery for this piece as well! DAMN.
Would have liked to have seen this piece with more black/silve/titanium, so it did not look so dressy.
I do like it but it is a little flash fro me with the rose gold!


C

excuse my typos but I am working and looking at watches at the same time on one computer!
Please, please do another addition of this piece without the Rose gold and keep the red
in there, I liked this in the earlier development stages.... any chance of a re addition without
the bling! ie gold. LOVE the cermaic casing. Nice work.

As everybody knows, here, I don' own any colored gold watch...But Maybe this one will be the 1st!

The touches of Rose Gold are very subtle,I like it.

I saw the proto with the SS hands, and crown...This definitive version is nicer, IMHO

Best.

Nicolas

Do you know and are you allowed to give a ball park figure for this piece?
I think I am dreaming unless I win lotto!
I do love the watch and I love the LAB elements within this piece....
completely innovative!

Do you know the price of an Amvox II in titanium?
If yes, it's a bit less than 6 times this price...
Well, if you know the good numbers for the newt Lottery, please Email me! LOL
Best.

... when you are writing this new Amvox3 comes to embody the values of

Jaeger-LeCoultre : innovation, craftmanship, and pursuit of excellence !

But I do not see where there is innovation. The AMVOX3 looks like an

Extreme Lab styled AMVOX with ceramic case to me and has nothing

new or innovative inside - or did I miss something? Where shall there

be innovation?

I did expect more from it that being just another tourbillon by JLC.

Christian

Hi Christian,

There is innovation in materials (first real production piece with iridium platinum rotor weight, first JLC with ceramic case with the new Squadra).

There's innovation in design: that's the first modern black and  pink JLC!  And it doesn't look like an Extreme Lab either, out of the rotor!

And the watch is a new Amvox, with obvious Amvox DNA, and still a new overall design and treatment of nearly all parts.

If you don't see all that as innovation, you probably don't see innovation often!

Cheers

Dje
