Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm Tides of Time
Limited series of 350 in grade 5 titanium and 200 in 18-carat pink gold and grade 5 titanium

Symbolising the "Tides of Time" partnership between Jaeger-LeCoultre, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and the International Herald Tribune this timepiece associates two of the Manufacture’s most emblematic complications: an alarm and the simultaneous display of the time in 24 time zones. Three of the cities on its outer dial ring have been replaced by three natural sites appearing on the World Heritage list benefiting from a dedicated preservation programme supported by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The shock-absorbing system built into its case protects the movement from impacts and jarring during use in extreme conditions. It features a fast and clever wristband-change system that serves to switch from a rubber or leather strap to a metal bracelet in a matter of moments.

Watch tested for 1000 hours and water-resistant to 10 ATM

Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 912, created in 2007
Mechanical automatic movement with an alarm distinguished by a dual hour and minute display, and world time. 45-hour power reserve, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 28 jewels, 315 parts, 7.78 mm thick

Gorgeous! I have the standard red version and love it, but that one is even nicer I think!

Get a nice calf strap with blue stitching or a blue croc on that bad boy ASAP!

Thank you. I love the stainless steel version with red accents but I prefer the coloring and full titanium case of the Tides of Time.

I remember seeing you post pics of your Extreme World Alarm on a custom croc strap. May I ask you where did purchase the strap? I was thinking of contacting ABP Paris.

It's nice, it tells the time, and it's probably expensive ( And I like it)....(Lots)

BUT

Did you have a nice holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bow: :bow:

I hope that was only one of the high points.

Very sharp, particularly on that blue strap, suits the watch well. Definitely a beauty!

I'll echo Altair's response also, would add variety to have a nice leather strap to interchange once in a while.

Cheers

He's not making me want to go on holiday, I already am! 30 odd degrees here in Lindos, Rhodes, needed a bit of time out or in depending on how to look at it so hence a few posts today!

I also have the red EWA, with a red stitched ABP vintage brown croco on. Here's a few quick pics - it's night in Tokyo so the lighting is way off. I can highly recommend ABP. They're great to work with and deliver great straps. I have a few from them...

I had a wonderful time! I originally went down for a wedding but my AD in the USVI informed me that he had this piece at a great price so I had to pick it up. :mrgreen:

Then the following pics will not help. :(

Here is the view from my suite at the Ritz.

And this little guy woke me up on the last day of the trip.
