Jaeger-LeCoultre

I was actually looking for a Master Reveil but quite rare on the pre-owned market.

Thanks Nicolas for the information, report and pictures.

Best,
Pascal

I was having some thought about this one (Reveil) and when I saw it in flesh (last Tuesday during L.U.C dinner), I've been convinced that I want one. And now a re-edition, so what could I expect more

Best,
Pascal

Can't agree more with you, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas

...to wake up!
A single one is not enough, so first one at 8AM, second one at 8.15AM and sometimes I would need another one at 8.30AM 

Any idea when JLC will propose a Répétition alarm watch?

The U.N Sonata, which is an Alarm which sounds like a Minute Repeater.

Best,

Nicolas

I can't wait to see it in the metal. It is very elegant and understated. I love it!

But the good thing was that I was able to take some pics of the proto, so we'll see the improvements on the definitive watch.

I share your excitement, emcquillan!

Best,

Nicolas

 

First thing that came to my mind.

It looks like it can be produced 15 years from now

or 15 years in past

and thank you for case back reminders :0)

now I look less ridiculous :0)

With this watch, you have a part of the JLC Patrimony, mixing the Past, the Present, and without doubt, the Future.

I'm very pleased to see this watch re introduced in the catalogue.

An Icon is back!

Best, my dear friend.

Nicolas

did anybody guess your teasing game??????

Cheers

And you gave me hard time to try to hide it, to save my teaser!

Well played, PP!

Fantastic report, I love it.

Every detail works in the pictures, can't wait to see it in person. I have always regretted missing out on the previous version.

Curious, it looks like they are moving away from the gold seal. It's been a long time since we've seen a Master with a solid back. Is this now standard?

-Patrick

The alarm most often went with a solid case back, except the 90ies Memo.

Why?

Because it is an automatic movement, first.

So there is nothing really interesting to see.

Then, because a sapphire case back would disturb the quality of the Alarm sound?

So, it is not a new standard for the Master Line.

Best, and thank you, Patrick.

Nicolas

...do you beleive they are moving away from using the (applied?) gold seal on solid Master case backs. I  have seen this in the compressor line, but I beleive all of the previous generation steel Master series watches with a solid back had a gold seal.

Is the applied gold seal a thing of the past in favor of an engraved back?

It's understandable from a cost perspective, and either way I agree with you that the engraving is quite nice.

...for the photos now I only have one question does it come with a black dial?

But this is another story...and post!



Thank you, my friend.

...for the next post. Thank you again Nicolas.

This watch must have lots of lovers. But, I must admit, that IMO, nothing can beat your two Deeps Sea Alarms.

I love them, I think that them are two of the most nice and appealing watches that I´ve never seen... And I was a lucky man being able to admire them in the flesh... I thank your for it!

Best and thanks for sharing, Hermano

Emilio

Of course, the D.S.A are stunning.

But my problem is that I also love this one...

Damn, I need some serious diet!



Best, Hermano.

Nicolas

Thanks for a great report Nicolas. We discussed this topic a long while and I suppose all JLC lovers would like to see a new Memovox or Reveil. To me the old Reveil is a real beauty. It has quite a solid case IMO a nice bezel and a wonderfull 38 mm. Combined with its case hight it's a real chunky watch. Oh yes and I adore dauphine styled hands too. So I guess I'm happy with the old Reveil except one thing. I think the new movement is much better than the old 918. So if they just bring it out with a black dial it's definately a yes. Otherwise I'd opt for the Navy Seal version.

So now we know JLC answers our praiers. Does this mean there is a chance for a new version of the Geophysic? Please?

Best,

Starman

I hear you perfectly on your arguments on the former Master Reveil.

What you said is true, it looks chunkier, and it may please to some, without any doubts.

Will a black dialed Memo come?

The answer is ...YES!

Do I already have a pic of it?

NO.

Sometimes, JLC hears our crazy prays, indeed.



Best,

Nicolas

Thanks a lot for the pictures Nicolas.

It's good to have real picture of an steel watch.

Now, i want to compare the new memovox with my old réveil in the same hand.

Nicolas too

As soon as possible, we'll take a pic of your Master Reveil, aside with the new Memo.

Thanks for having let me play with yours, and for having allowed me to tae pics of yours.

Best, my friend.

Nicolas ( too ).

Phone me when we can do this.

I think that this picture will interest a lot of people.

if only you had known before that you were going to have the new memovox in hand, I would have spent you my master réveil

No message body

I really like the crowns, which are very similar to the low profile crowns found on EPSA cases.... and that seconds hand is magnificent.

Well seen, about the crowns!

So, just rather nice?



Best, my friend.
