Simple, pure and elegant

Of course relatively small vs our today's standards but so pure and elegant!
"The time, what else ?..." so as to paraphrase the famous coffee ad...!
Thank you Nicolas for this beautiful review of a very classy dresswatch.
Best,
Mike

JLC Ref 1901, the Kingdom of the Flat.

There is a category we don't often discuss during our vintage trips: Flat watches from JLC. Which is quite surprising, as JLC had an interesting offer, in this domain. Basically, The Grande Maison released, in the Sixties, different references, such as th...
Thank you Nicolas for showing this very elegant watch...

Your quote "Not as famous as the icons of the brand, but not less appealing" sounds strange however for beside the size I find this watch absolutely a gem of elegance and simplicity, magnificent, yes I agree the mouvement is a little lost in this space, b...

It would certainly not refrain me

Do not misunderstand me, I have a "chicken's" wrist so I am used to (and I like) small size watches. With 36mm diameter, my former PP 2526 also was not having a large case. And specially for an elegant white gold dress watch with large aperture like this ...
Nice one. Simple looking but with charm and the secret 'white gold' appeal

A nice and classic watch at first sight. But the true 'detail' which makes it very appealing from a collectors perspective is that it is white gold. In the 1960's, this was an extremely rare feature, and in the JLC line-up, none of the 'classic' icons lik...
You know how much I like this one :-)

So very glad to see the very rare white gold example. Mine is SS but loved all the same. This watch and its modern simplicity is more relevant today than many of its modern iterations. The logos at 12:00 and 3:00 have a double function as markers to work ...
classic of the classics!

I've got one that has the dial of the Ref 1903, with the case similar to the Ref 1913 with the ultra small crown but with lugs without access holes similar to the Ref 1901. I wear it daily, I originally bought it used for $50 in Jamaica as a gift for my f...
