In recent years, Jaeger Lecoultre’s Extreme Lab 2 always steal the show whereever it apprears. At 39,000€, I afraid you can not get another watch that has been equipped with as many as complications like Extreme Lab 2. Aside from having a technically competitive price, it may start a brand new direction for the brand, which I think is much more important. And the controversy on this piece never stop these years, which, in my humble opinion, proves that it is really a successful piece. In fact, it is indeed a hot seller
The watch, composed of more than 500 parts, has a TiVan 15 case, an adjustable buckle and a ceramic bezel. The watch functions/complications include a radial power reserve indicator, digital minutes 24-hour chrono, date, GMT, function selector, anti-magnetic mechanism, reset to zero seconds. And you may feel you have a bargain after browsing the long list above. And the watch is limited to just 500 pieces, 300 pieces in titanium and 200 pieces in rose gold.
Based on the first Extreme Lab, the Extreme Lab 2 carried not a few the original design and technical features. The size has been increased to 46mm, which may make most Jaeger customers a bit difficult to accept. Luckily , it has two lovely features that can make up the size issue. Firstly, it inherits the Extreme Lab 1’s strap ball-bearing mechanism; Secondly, the case bottom has comfortable curvature. These two features ensure the wearer an idea fit and comfortable wearing experience
And the watch actually looks much better on the wrist than o=off the wrist. And the watch has other flaws. The is not easy to read the time clear at night though it has large hands and indices. I think the problem comes from the fact that the minutes hand is too long and its tip just cover the indices. At night due to the lack of Luminova, the tip just disappears when in front of any of the indices making the hours and minutes almost indistinguishable. And the white and red color combination is not clear enough for the power reserve. Personally, I think white and black should be a much better option.
Despite the above mentioned flaws and regrets, The Extreme Lab 2 is still a great watch deserve attention and the price tag.
