This WS-week - no real chips to play.. Well, unless..
May 23, 2014,03:14 AM
.. some sort of a patchwork entry may be allowed ;
as one of our common focus-points are Vintages, and many also like old ads & catalogs,
- here one well known ad from Jaeger vs a contemporary vehicle of that time period
Thus, very close dates for the ad, the car and the link to Jaeger..
- hope that's an acceptable chip-in, although nothing contemporary modern..
Some of you might have read my previous post here (JLCs Forum) about
" Tides of Times passing- some old ads & catalogs look for roots", - so I thought something along these lines .
Voitures.. Tres interessantes.. Instrument maker Jaeger
The Year is 1931.. also the yr of the Reverso
These instruments, with dashboard watches included, were widely used, representing high quality standards..

Jaeger dashboard instruments.. in a Bentley.. Note the watch's cathedral hands
And here such a car, originating from this very time: Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Tourer, 1931
- on an oldtimer Rallye in India,( here at a Maharadjas garden);
(Credit: owned and piloted by a friend of mine..)
Rolls Royce Ghost Tourer, in India
I simply adore the car, the surroundings and the formidable ambiance;
as if the tides of time are touching us...
- something for passionate people.
Well, all this not quite within the theme, but in a way I thought, you may
enjoy the historical link between cars, to one of our watch icons ( the Reverso),
- and the instruments, essential for these cars.
If I look on these pics, I always feel like being in a time capsule..
Hope you enjoyed this entry a little bit,
- just all I could offer and therefore pls take here my humble 2 cents...
Best, hs
