...a quick but very informative report, thank you. I have decided that my collection needs a rose gold piece and the Master Memovox in 40mm or the Master Chronograph also in 40mm fit the bill exactly. It will be difficult but fun deciding which watch to b...

Will elaborate later, BUT: 1/ The Return of reasonnabily sized watches. 2/ In a certain way, the return of the Classicism, with the 2 pieces you mentionned. 3/ You don't have to sell your house to have a great piece. Those are very important points, and I...

Yes sir, 2010 is most certainly price winning for JLC

 
 By: Starman : January 19th, 2010-14:13
Can't wait to see some live pictures Nicolas. I personally adore the duometre; the moon phase gives it this fantastic extra touch. More in my financial league are the great Navy Seal with what I think is a perfect 42 mm case size. But actually the chrono ... 

Honestly, I hesitated a lot before posting this quick thread, my friend

 
 By: amanico : January 19th, 2010-14:19
But I was so excited to dhare these exciting novelties that I coldn't resist to the temptation. I can only tell you, for the moment, that there are great things to see and discover, and not necessarily unaffordable, which is really a GREAT point. Best, Ni... 

Blown away!

 
 By: pv45 : January 19th, 2010-14:17
JLC have managed something truly exceptional with the master compressor extreme Lab 2. It's range of functions and beauty makes it head and shoulders above anything else i've seen so far. Keen to see more of it. Many Thanks

I agree...

 
 By: amanico : January 19th, 2010-22:04
There is a lot to say ( and to write ) about this watch. A Technical, complex, and stunning watch. I think that it will take me a lot of time to make a post about it... Best, Nicolas

The Duo a QL steals the show!!!

 By: jml_watches : January 19th, 2010-14:33
Thanks. Great post. Have to say those Atmos look wonderful - not only those though! Memovoxes look very tempting. Do you know what the sound like & how they compare? Cheers JML

You're too kind! This is not what I call a post, though

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:07
It is just a short compilation of what I saw. BUT, it was just to give you an idea of the Richness of the collection, this year. As for the Memovoxes, I can tell you that they sound like a Polaris, if you heard them striking. A School bell. A Crystaline o... 

Fantastic Nico....

About the Duomètre, you lost, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:10
It isn't that pricey at all... What did I win? A Duomètre? Best, Nicolas

Its like Christmas around here this week!!!!!

 
 By: doubleup : January 19th, 2010-16:55
JLC my hat is off to you

Yes, it is exactly my feeling.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:37
I was amazed by all these new watches, indeed. And I even kept some surprises for later... Best, Nicolas

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! [nt]

Well, I visited several booths, as every year, and

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:42
There are some nice surprises, here and there, but JLC is DA KING this year. The offer is as wide as it is interesting, and to say all, very tempting. I can't say it is a surprise, as JLC use to surprise us almost each year, but this year is a STRONG year... 

Thanks for the quick preview...

 
 By: Goh : January 19th, 2010-18:49
What a line up... Within my budget, the Master Chrono and Master Memovox Int'l appeal to me. Do they comes with bracelet? Goh

The Master Chrono and the Memos are far from being second choices, Goh

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:44
They are authentic JLCs. I really love and appreciate to see such offers this year. Will of course come back to them very soon. Best, Nicolas

Sure, Nicolas.

 
 By: Goh : January 20th, 2010-18:13
They are not second choices. It is just that I am smitten by the Duometre Lunaire which is out of my budget. I also haven't get used to a watch on leather strap. I just wish that the Master Memovox (not int'l) as well as the Master Chrono are available in... 

I must confess that I didn't ask for the bracelet option, Goh.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-22:31
But I will! No display back on the Master Chrono, which doesn't have a new movement, as there were some change in the structure of the movement, but nothing major. Best, Nicolas

Thank you. [nt]

thanks and big congrats to JLC!. A really well done job made by the Grande Maison! Waiting for your great reviews about all these marvels! Descansa, hermano, que debes estar exhausto Un abrazo Emilio

Yep, Emilio... JLC has to be congratulated, IMO.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:51
If I had to sum in a few words my feelings, I would say that everybody won't like ALL the watches introduced this year, BUT everybody shold find and support his champion, among these novelties. That is an impressive presentation and offer... Best, Hermano... 

Thanks, Nicolas, for putting all the press pictures...

 
 By: dxboon : January 19th, 2010-23:28
...and immediately available information into one post. I empathize, as it does take time, time, TIME to put together these strings of photos. I'm not complaining mind you, just expressing sympathy for your large task now at hand -- particularly because y... 

To be honest, I'm lost in my pics and texts, right now.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-07:04
Will take some time to well think about it... I saw 2 or 3 watches I'd like to include to my already vast collection, and I can tell you that I feel very lucky to own the pices I own, because the list may be even longer! I'm sure that 2010 will be an exce... 

What a lineup

 
 By: stromer : January 20th, 2010-00:30
Thank you so much , Nicolas, for this quick overview. Your press pictures show much more than the "europa star" issue available at JLC's web site (regrettably the resolution of the pdf file is quite poor). And they let me realize even better what JLC has ... 

We're surfing on the same wave, Martin

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-07:11
The most impressive, to me, is that JLC managed to conciliate which is often presented as impossible to conciliate: The Appeal and the affordability. Of course, The MGT Grande Complication is a hell of a watch ( and to say all , I wad laughting when I saw... 

Where is the recession? :-)

 
 By: AT : January 20th, 2010-04:54
Incredible pieces, I thought brand were going to show simpler version but it looks like it is full steam ahead starting with JLC!

From the simpler to the most complicated, AT

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:02
There are watches for everybody's taste and budget... And the simpler are not the less appealing. Wait a bit, you're gonna be convinced. Best, Nicolas

Agreed, Nico . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 20th, 2010-06:35
. . . the modestly priced steel MUT that I saw a few weeks ago was an eye opener and then some. Easily one of the most sensible watches I've come across in a while . . . impressed, Art

The example of the MUT is perfect to illustrate this, Art.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-07:15
And you will have the same feeling with the Master Chrono or the Memovoxes... Some great Classics are back, for our greatest pleasure. Some very innovative pieces, too. High Horology is here... What can I say...? I'm fighting to not stay ...Speechless, wh...

I knew you would love them, Marcelo.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-05:58
But wait, my friend, there are so many you will fall in love with... Best, Nicolas

Big Suprise and well done JLC.

 
 By: terenceho : January 20th, 2010-06:37
Love the extreme lab (I am expecting a very high MRSP) and very good Atmos. Good work JLC.

I have the feeling we'll speak a lot about the Extrem Lab II

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-06:39
It is a VERY interesting watch, technical and complex at the same time. Best, Nicolas

Thanks Nicolas, what an outstanding lineup

 
 By: emcquillan : January 20th, 2010-07:46
from JLC. The master chrono is just what the doctor ordered for me, but I think I will have to settle for a painting or a nice photograph of the Astronomical masterpiece. Wha a beauty! Thanks again. best wishes,

Your Doctor is good, emcquillan. :)

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-08:45
You may also have a nice surprise, as we speak of the Chrono... Best, Nicolas

Nice overall view/report of what to be expected from JLC thanks again to YOU. My fav. has to be the new Extreme Lab 2! In titanium. Insane! B well and post more pics when you're well rested my friend, Matrix.

Thanks for your nice words, Matrix.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-13:42
I'm sure that you will adore this technical piece! Best, Nicolas

Where is the 'small seconds' indicator on Extreme lab 2?

 
 By: pv45 : January 20th, 2010-14:18
I understand the functions of Master Compressor extreme lab 2 states it has a small seconds indicator and was wondering where exactly it is on the dial? many thanks

You'll have to wait a bit, as if I give all the details right now

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2010-14:23
There will not be any interest to make a post about it... Best, Nicolas

I must say JLC has done it well.

Question on the Navy Seals Automatic

 
 By: south : January 20th, 2010-15:47

Solid case back on the 2 Memovoxes. But it is a cool idea, and I will elaborate my answer later, my friend. Best! Nicolas

Perhaps the only question we should ask is: Can JLC do no wrong? Every year they amaze with new watches and movements. Surely JLC must be the most exciting and dynamic brand of all watch companies. I am really glad about their reintroduction of the Master... 

Thanks, Bill, for your words.

Honestly, this was a great SIHH with some nice and strong surprises. Some other brands released interesting watches, like Panerai, and Lange, without forgetting GP, which has a SUBLIME Automatic Chrono. But, IN MY OPINION, JLC is above... In terms of Crea... 

I think the extreme lab in rose

 
 By: Mostel : January 21st, 2010-11:15
is MAYBE one of the coolest, most exciting watches ever produced on earth??? I bristle at the word 'extreme' on the case, very silly!!! But the more I look at the watch, it's innovative features, design, specs, etc--it's just such an extraordinary feat!!!... 

Extremely intriguing, Extremely Complex, too.

 
 By: amanico : January 21st, 2010-12:43
Will need some time to prepare something on this watch, but for sure, it will make the buzz. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-01-21 12:50:19

And it is even more amazing if you think that JLC does it each year since 2004,well, except 2009 which was more a consolidation year. As for the Atmos, I will try to post the thread quite quickly. It is not too complicated nor too long. Best, Nicolas
