During our last get together, we had the opportunity to gather some vintage Jaeger Lecoultre legends. And some of us even added some in their collections. Legends, rare birds, sea snake, it is hard to find the right word to describe what we saw. I will sl...
After the Geophysics, let's see some other superb vintage JLCs. A Futurematic has just found a new home, and this one, with this dial, is quite a rare bird: It is the 4th I see with this dial. It is just mesmerizing. ...
I must say that I have a fascination for the Futurematic. The fact that it does not have a crown makes it a very nice and balanced symmetrical look! That\'s one I\'ll have to find at some point! Thanks for sharing all these magnificent pictures! All the b...
Another find, during this GTG, a Polaris 1965, not a Lecoultre, but a Jaeger Lecoultre. As you can guess, our friend was quite thrilled to get it. I've seen several Lecoultre, but less often Jaeger Lecoultre signed. ...
As we are into diving watches, a couple of Deep Sea Alarms, US and Europe, belonging to our dear Blomman: This Europe is just gorgeous. Some will point out that the hands are not the same, but both are correct for the two Deep Sea Alarm. How many of us ar...
The one which has gone in sad circumstances: My current one, american version. My European, as I got it. Sadly, the correct insert has gone, too. Now, mine in its current condition: ...
Am happily chipping-in with the WWW & Mark-7: WWW with a P on the dial ( probably for Promethium) A very special piece Mark-7 Weems Here a Military Trio Left: JLC- WWW, Middle: IWC Mark-11, Rt: LC Mark-7 Weems Best, hs ...
A Triple Date Black has found a new home, too: One of the most elegant vintage Jaeger Lecoultre ever made. Tear drop lugs, 36 mm case, superb movement. And this black dial is such a feast for the eyes! ...
A simple Memovox can be an extraordinary find... This one, housing a manual winding movement, from the Mid Fifties, is in great shape, and comes with its original tag. On the tag, it is written Ref 1282A, white gold numbers. No wonder why one of us immedi...
To see one Cross-hair is a treat, to see two.... To see one in steel is a joy, to see one in Steel one in Yellow Gold and one in Rose Gold side-by-side... To see both the regular and the Cross-hair side-by-side is awesome, to see five in a row - MINDBLOWI...
The top stars of this get together were certainly The Memovox World Time, Ref 3160. It took me 15 years to see one in the flesh, it was past year, and it was a gold one. It took me one more year to see its steel sister. No need to say that this reference ...
There is a lot of charm and pleasure to live with these old pieces. This one adds a small touch of humour which is always welcomed. Best, my friend. Nicolas
... I will need the week end to devote the time this post deserves to fully enjoy it: lots of information and great photography, plus the adtition of the participation of our friends showing their own collections. In the meantime I just gave a quick look ...
Thought I start with some Memovoxes, which are one of the central themes of my JLC interests. Some may have been shown herein the thread above, eg: E861, but hope there is enough to chew on.. Voilá : Upper Duo: LC 3072, JLC E872 Middle group of 6 ( left t...
.. 2 Chronos, for Diving only TT + DSA, but your treasure box is still well filled: ( 4ATM, Dolphin, Master Mariner, etc) -- ok.. - You have a point ! Cheers & Best, hs
I need to digest this thread over the weekend. Currently at work but all those Geophysics will be on my mind all day. Especially love that NOS condition one!
If you are more after big watches, then all the militaries and the Geophysic are not for you. From 39 mm to 43 mm, then the choice is a bit shorter. Best, Nicolas
Humble start.. Chrono Ref 4623, " The Shark" It came with 2-3 bezel-insert options, here the WT, the most attractive IMO.. Jaeger Chronograph, Valjoux 72 Pretty sure, Nico will add up, hopefully soon.. Cheers & Best, hs ...
.. Never saw one in real, except yours - and I guess MattS has got one ! Guess, that Reference does complement a theme with Jaeger/JLC Chronos quite nicely ! So I am going to keep my eyes open, although currently other targets further up on the LOD ( List...
thanks for this thread, Amanico, Clavi, Blomman and all others... Definitely more beauties in this thread only than in many other ones on different fora altogether ! This brings me to a question on which I never found an answer: To your knowledge, are the...
For example did you ever see a picture of the 3160 Memovox World Time, pictured on the Jubilé documents? Did you ever see a picture of the 159 SHOM? Did you ever see a picture, on the catalogs of the Geophysic with Dauphine hands, which are correct, thoug...
Only 2500 pieces made during these 2 years. Steel case, black or white dial. One of the very time only to offer a display of the time on 24 hours. Its movement, the Cal 480 CW. 33 mm case. ...
... A complete JLC Madness!! I just wish to thank you and all our friends who participate here showing this awesome and stunning array of JLC beauties!! A celebration of JLC!! Thanks a lot gentlemen!! Cheers! Abel
I have been searching for quite some time for some explanation and history on a watch that was given to me. This watch was my grandfather's, given to me by my mother several years ago. I really did not know how old the watch was and I still have not been ...
