cool looking strap and buckle thankyou for the pics much appreciated

-MW...  

Is it camera angle or is the date not square in the date window?

Hello ktowngreg! The watches pictured are prototypes. Part of what you are seeing is an optical illusion from the camera angle. Please take a look at our PIAGET moderator Daos aka dxboon pics below for another camera angle. So, of the three which one is y... 

Is that moonphase on the new Duometre screen printed? That was fast! Beverly Hills got to show the SIHH pieces almost immediately after the actual SIHH Show! Thanks for the report!

" That was fast! Beverly Hills got to show the SIHH pieces almost immediately after the actual SIHH Show! " Yep, that's why the JLC Boutique Beverly Hills is so awesome! They have a complete selection, unique custom ordered factory OEM straps, and IMO top...

Have a great weekend aldossari_faisel! -MW

It's actually wearable even though it's almost 47mm.

And your explanations on this piece, too... So, do what do you think about the watches you saw? Best, Nicolas

"So, do what do you think about the watches you saw?" Well Nicolas, with these pieces shown IMO it reflects JLC's exciting innovations and variety as described in your wonderful SIHH reporting. The Extreme Lab II's strap changing and buckle extension func... 

Even after a few hours of presentation and explanations, I'm not sure I understood all the details about this Extrem Lab II... I was just testing you, to see if I was such a bad JLC moderator. Best, Nicolas

Nicolas, Bad? I would say you're a bada$$ moderator and I'm sure everyone would agree! And you're right, so many details for the Extreme Lab II! -MW

Team PuristSPro was out in force at Jaeger-LeCoultre Beverly Hills to see some highlights from the Manufacture's SIHH 2010 presentation. As always, JLC BH put on a great event. Let's take a look at some pictures! What's in the box?! Pretty cool, IMO! What...  

My thanks to you and Ming for the, as ever, amazing and timely reporting. That BH Boutique seesm to have a very direct pipeline from Le Sentier. So, what did yoiu think of the pieces you saw? That Extreme LAB looks incredible, especially now in your photo... 

I think JLC had a fantastic showing at SIHH this year. They continue to channel their considerable knowledge and creativity in new and interesting ways. I love that they can release a watch like the Extreme Lab 2 in the same breath as something like the M... 

...and stir emotions unexpectedly. Even from seeing just the photos, whereas you have been able to actually handle these watches, I must admit to feeling similarly to you with regard to these three pieces, although perhaps for somewhat different reasons. ... 

...so we can take an excursion to JLC BH together! Fun! Daos

digital chrono display isnt new as Breitling were doing it in 1998-2000 ish, but i still love it. its a much better way of displaying elapsed time. add that to the 24 hour totaliser, GMT plus all the other things the extreme lab must have under the surfac... 

Goodness knows with the ease of removing and replacing straps on this model I wouldn't be surprised if JLC and others started offering straps for the Extreme Lab 2. I'm sure we'll be learning even more in these next few months. Cheers, Daos

Pretty cool stuff, right?! Thanks for taking a look. Cheers, Daos

The strap alone on the Master Compressor Extreme Lab 2 Tribute to Geophysic was worth the drive over the hill in rush hour traffic to Beverly Hills. It's one of the coolest features about the watch. The strap has leather facings on both sides and these no...  

It does not look like tis strap will work on any other watch but this one. Correct? So, hopefully there will be a few strap/bracelet offerings intended for this Extreme LAB...? The quick strap release mechanism is quite different looking from that offered... 

I mean, the strap. Pretty cool and comfortable to wear, indeed. In theory, I was a bit skeptic, in real, totally convinced. Best, Nicolas

...at the moment, but perhaps we will hear differently as time progresses. I'm sure if there are to be additional straps offered, we will see them at the BH Boutique. They are great about ordering new and festive straps. It has been a busy, busy week. Che...

Not as good as yours, but hopefully high on charm. It was nice to hang with the usual suspects, but your presence was missed. Cheers, Daos

Thanks for the detail pictures of the strap system. I'm glad it's a lot more affordable than the Extreme Lab 1.

The watch certainly has a strong presence, and looks both sporty and technical. I hope to see it again soon. Thanks for reading! Cheers, Daos

for the join effort, appreciate it

Which of the new JLC novelties are you enjoying the most, so far? I very much like the Memovox, although I haven't seen the model I'm most interested in yet (steel version). Cheers, Daos

I had a great time at the JLC Beverly Hills Boutique seeing a few of this year's novelties, as well as hanging out with fellow PuristS and making new friends too! JLC Beverly Hills always has the best snacks at their parties! Small fancy hamburgers. Vanil...  

Mon Cher Confrere was obviously with you! A Dato just beside the Duometre à Chronograph...A Premonition? Best, Nicolas

Though only for a first date! Here's hoping for a short courtship! Best, Jed

So this Duo is unavoidable... Best! Nicolas

...pickup an original Duometre at some point. I know it would make a handsome addition to his already classy collection. I only wish you could've been with us! Cheers, Daos

Frivolity, a glass of wine and amazing pieces from JLC, all shared with friends, proved a great relief after an unpleasant day at the office. Good to see you and our fellow Purists there. Thanks to Seth, Kate and JLC for hosting the evening. Best, Jed

...so I also welcomed the short break. Mingling with fellow PuristS and making new friends is always fun. The good folks at JLC BH are thoughtful hosts. I'm looking forward to learning more about JLC's 2010 releases. Cheers, Daos

for this pics that break from the sometimes monotony of a cold report pics!!!JLC is coming to London next week for the same event.Seems like JLC is not wasting time at all and started a travelling circus very early after SIHH and with a lot of vigor.No ti... 

Hi Mo! Yes, it was gratifying for us to be able to see some of the watches so soon after being announced. I was impresssed. I look forward to reading your thoughts after you have a chance to play with the new models. There is a lot to enjoy and much to be... 

It captures the fun and camaraderie of the night! Cheers, Daos

Thanks for sharing.

I wish I could have made it Your report is full of energy that I felt that I was with you guys though, so I don't feel as horrible I guess :P Those are some great watches, and that one picture with the watch in the wood crate is awesome! Lovely event JLC!... 

Hello Anthony, I was in a rush but Daos has some captured some great photos, thanks for looking! -MW

I did however have a momentary internal flashback to that one scene in the movie Seven. I won't ruin it for everyone who hasn't seen the film, but suffice it to say, the phrase, "What's in the box," ran right through my noggin'! I wish you could've been t... 

Thanks DRMW and Daos for capturing the event at the JLC BH boutique. That buckle system is pretty cool and innovative. I wonder if JLC will introduce this concept to other watches? Regards, ED-209

...IMO. Obviously, none of us have yet put the piece through its paces in the real world, but the concept seems solid. I'd like to see similar on a smaller watch. Cheers, Daos

Wish i was there! Cheers and thanks for sharing! Stephen

...and I hope you get to handle the new JLCs in the metal soon, Stephen! Thanks for checking out the post! Cheers, Daos

It was a great event and even better getting to meet Daos and a few of the fellow Purists in person. The new Duometre is truly a work of art. Mark

It was fun to meet you! I'm glad we had a chance to talk! So your favorite of the night was the new Duometre? The movement on that watch does get my heart beating! Hope to see you around the forum, and again in person soon! Cheers, Daos

Hi Daos, Yes, the Duometre was clearly my favorite of the night. It was truly a work of art and i love the partial skeleton face. Hope you are well. Mark
