Given that I wasnโ€™t around at the time and when I first saw it it was modern but not shockingly so ๐Ÿ˜Š

My first JLC and a reminder of the Magali Metrailler era at the maison ๐Ÿ˜ ...  

Lovely pairing here with this strap!

That red car is giving me 959 vibes!

So it is ๐Ÿ˜

All 4 cars in the shot are Teutonic ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thereโ€™s an air-Quattro directly underneath the wrist, a Phaeton next to it and a /8 Coupe in blue next to that ๐Ÿ˜Š

Lovely collection!

I can imagine it most have been quite exciting, when it came outโ€ฆ

The crowns are still a blast, so much more user friendly than a screw down one ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Super timepiece

Very nice

Glad you enjoy it ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

So much about it that was right and innovative about it at the time (apart from the non-quick set date ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ). And back then one made new pieces that were a homage to historical ones, rather than re-editions ๐Ÿ˜‰

The watch is as beautiful as the designer,

she also designed the Ballwatch & BMW collaboration. If only Ballwatch partner with Benzโ€ฆ

So she didโ€ฆ

 
 By: KMII : February 8th, 2024-05:05
Not sure who sheโ€™s working for nowadays ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

She an independent designer/consultant like her peers.

Always liked this great JLC a lot .

Excellent strap choice ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

Always nice to see this watch but when I see it I feel a bit sad.

 
 By: kev09 : February 8th, 2024-10:54
When it was introduced I loved the look of it and lusted after it. Eventually I managed to get one and was delighted with the size, design of the dial, ease of operation of the alarm function. In fact everything about it was great. Unfortunately, for me, ... 

I second that.

 
 By: Berkeleygis : February 8th, 2024-15:36
I agree with Nico. It was my first JLC. I still love it but man o man, that gold medallion really bothered me.

Alas...

 
 By: amanico : February 9th, 2024-09:24

Oh yesโ€ฆ

 
 By: KMII : February 17th, 2024-12:34
I wear it a little looser as a result ๐Ÿ˜Š

Even that I tried... In vain.

 
 By: amanico : February 17th, 2024-18:30

A real pity.

 
 By: amanico : February 17th, 2024-18:30

For me itโ€™s the case back, which could be more comfortableโ€ฆ

 
 By: KMII : February 17th, 2024-12:33
Not a deal breaker but definitely not the most comfortable of watches I own ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Superb capture my friend! Great strap pairing as always!

I would think that if

JLC were to revive/reissue the compressor line of watches there just might be a slale or two there for them.

Could not agree more!

 
 By: KMII : February 17th, 2024-12:36
If they donโ€™t go all bananas with their idea of what these are then worth ๐Ÿ˜‰

Golden times!

She, under Jerome's leadership, made some wonderful, cutting-edge products! I really hope JLC will re-visit the Compressors since no other brand has infringed on that water-proofing patent yet. -Dean

Beauty! Love the strap

These Master Compressor bring me nice memories from the past

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 9th, 2024-13:49
I never got one, but was at the edge multiple times. The Momovox could be my favorite, and yours look uber cool! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

great watch, great strap
