JaegerLe-Coultre Master Compressor Extreme
W-Alarm '46'
The Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm, in essence a generously sized alarm watch with world time function. It is the same size as the Extreme World Chronograph and measures 46.3mm wide in diameter.
Despite the massive case, the alarm buzz is clear and easily audible, quite a feat given its large size. JLC achieves this by running the gong around the circumference of the movement, instead of attaching it to the caseback as in earlier Memovox alarm watches.
Three versions of this watch will be available, one is the normal production steel and titanium model, while the other two are Valentino Rossi “46” limited editions, available in pink gold and titanium version or titanium.

JaegerLe-Coultre Master Compressor
Diving Pro Geographic
A new Master Compressor Diving range was premiered at SIHH. The flagship model is the Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic (try saying that underwater!), a serious-looking diver’s watch with a mechanical barometer. The depth gauge is contained in the chamber on the side of at the case at 9 o’clock. It works via a membrane that reacts to the pressure applied to the top of the chamber, similar to the principles of the Atmos clock that runs on changes in atmospheric pressure. Pressure is then indicated by the blue hand on the dial. This watch also has a world time function, though I struggle to understand why it is necessary.
