that it will go the exact other way...

the watch will be big (like in "very big" at least for my taste) and complicated.

that's all I know (or that I can say smile )

Jaeger-LeCoultre forges a new extreme path and sets off to conquer a virgin Himalayan peak

Press Release Jaeger-LeCoultre forges a new extreme path The Antoine LeCoultre expedition sets off to conquer a virgin Himalayan peak Under the patronage of the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux, a team of three seasoned mountaineers, headed by the Swis...  

A third new creation being prepared at the Manufacture?

What a teasing! Well, we have the Extrem Lab, the Géophysic, and ??? What can it be??? Up to you, Guys! Best, Nicolas

O o o o o... I know I know....

Mechanical depth gauge for MC Diving Pro Geographic... so for this climb... the 3rd creation will be "mechanical altimeter MC Ascent Pro Geograhic" The Flipper

Unusual Tease from JLC, The Flipper

 
 By: amanico : October 7th, 2009-22:35
I really have no idea... Best, Nicolas

When do we find out what the third watch is?????

 
 By: respo : October 7th, 2009-19:35
Another Extreme???? I can't wait too long. Gasp! respo

I was sure you would ask that, Respo

 
 By: amanico : October 7th, 2009-22:40
Really don't know, but my guess is that if JLC makes such a tease, it is because they are close to communicate on it... Let's wait and see! I'd love to see a very simple Extrem Compressor, with some chronometric virtues... Is that why they make a link wit... 

For once I sincerely hope you're wrong!

 
 By: Dje : October 8th, 2009-02:51
Hi Nicolas, I hope you're wrong. I hope to see a new Geophysic next year. But an Extreme version, in a huge case (large and thick), would mean a wasted year for me. I'd like to see a reasonable size (40 to 42 max, 38 or 39 would be better), would be happy... 

We'll see, Jerome

 
 By: amanico : October 8th, 2009-03:23
I'm still dreaming of an updated Geophysic, in a sober case... I hope we'll have an answer soon! Best, Nicolas

I definitely hope for a geophysic

 
 By: Cookies : October 8th, 2009-04:28
What a good teaser.

I am afraid ...

I agree completely with Dje...

 
 By: nwp627 : October 8th, 2009-17:16
...a simple Geophysic of reasonable size with a 200 meter depth rating would be fantastic. From this forum to the eyes of JLC! N

That is an awesome idea...

I bet JLC will do the reveal at the summit :-) [nt]

sure that you want to find out?? lol Cheers

No, but I figure it is better to face the devil head on

 
 By: respo : October 12th, 2009-11:29
As I am currently osessing over another maste Compressor, why not add another into the mix? You know I need help, Pink. respo

I know....

 
 By: MiniCooper : October 12th, 2009-11:40
exactly what you mean.... I have the same feeling with the AMVOXes...... Cheers ps PM sent

More adventures from the maison! [nt]

It has to be...

 
 By: david.graham : October 8th, 2009-05:47
Another watch in the Extreme range, based on the location of the adventure. How intruiging. Cheers David

Doesn't the first picture show an EWC?

 
 By: expwmbat : October 8th, 2009-06:46
It certainly looks like he's using the chronograph, and it's not a 1958 Geo or Extreme Lab. Oh, I dream of a day when the Extreme Lab is attainable for the average collector... DJK

Not only a problem of affordability, my friend

 
 By: amanico : October 8th, 2009-06:49
But also of scarcity... This Extrem Lab will be made in a very few pieces ( maybe 3 or 4 ) each year for 4 or 5 years. It may really be the rarest modern JLC! Best, Nicolas

How about the Amvox3, as the calibre is a sibling ...

 
 By: sw-rick : October 8th, 2009-14:40
but the look is a different matter of course ... Cheers, Rick

I love the A III, Rick!

 
 By: amanico : October 8th, 2009-21:42
To me it is a very appealing watch, but it has a price... Best, Nicolas

It does look suspiciously like an EWC...

 
 By: respo : October 8th, 2009-11:32
...and the EWC is not mentioned in the press release, right? So, perhaps it is a new version of the EWC to be expected or perhaps some other Extreme that has pushers/crowns in the same positions on the dial. It is so fruitless to speculate, and yet I cann... 

Don't count on me for any help, Respo

 
 By: amanico : October 8th, 2009-11:36
At least for the moment... A part of Mystery is so delicious, don't you think? Best, Nicolas

No, I don't think...

Will have to wait till Geneva...I fear! Best, Nicolas

Personally I find this association more to my liking ...

 
 By: sw-rick : October 8th, 2009-14:44
along with the Tides of Time and Aston Martin, compared to the Navy Seals ... It will indeed be interesting to see if there are any plans for the "Geophysic". Rick

Interesting input, Rick

 
 By: amanico : October 9th, 2009-08:18
I agree that the association between JLC, and Aston Martin or Tides of Time is really interesting, as it reflects a common philosophy in both cases. With the Navy Seals, the story is to be written, still, IMO. Let's be clear, the watches which were born f... 

Thanks, Rick

 
 By: amanico : October 9th, 2009-13:41
I'm very excited by this perspective, indeed. If only I could be in the Secrets of God... Best, Nicolas
