Jaeger-LeCoultre

A fresh shot of the Lecoultre Polaris 1968.

A watch which will have some serious wrist time, this summer. 





As we often discuss " king of cool " watches, this one is a serious contender, in this category. 

A legend, with a great presence on the wrist. 

Best,

Nicolas

This one is neck to neck with the Memovox (Tribute to Deep Sea) as "king of cool" for me! [nt]

What about the vintage Deep Sea Alarm, then?

I've just one word initially. "Wow." I don't think I'd casually run into that watch in my lifetime! [nt]

Who knows? The US version comes out in the different collectors markets, from time to time. [nt]

Something about that lone triangle in the center of the dial... looks like it's communicating with the other triangles! [nt]

The wandering triangle, since it turns as an alarm repere on the disk. [nt]

I'm not really into vintage watches, but JLC has by far the most vintage watches and also re-editions I like.

Including this one.

I can't disagree. Add some cool other Memovoxes, the Geophysic, the Shark, some chronographs and reversos, Triple Calendars and you have a huge family of great vintage watches. [nt]

I really have trouble telling them apart. Perfect execution by JLC. [nt]

The re editions are very close to the original, yes. Thanks, Bill. [nt]

Oh yes, cool, strong, beautiful and charming. [nt]

A Four Seasons watch. Yes. Thanks, my friend. [nt]
