Explore Jaeger-LeCoultre's 1958 Jubilée Collection, featuring the Geophysic, Memovox, and Ref. 2233. A look back at JLC's 125th anniversary.

Nicolas (amanico) revisits Jaeger-LeCoultre's significant 1958 'Jubilée' collection, celebrating the brand's 125th anniversary. He highlights key pieces like the Geophysic, Memovox Parking, and the elegant flat Ref. 2233, alongside unique table clocks. This post offers a nostalgic look at a pivotal year for JLC and its diverse horological offerings.

1958 was an important and good year for Jaeger-Lecoultre. They celebrated their 125th anniversary with a " Jubilée " collection and some important watches.

Everybody knows one of them, the Geophysic, of course, but there also was a Memovox Parking, and the Memovox World Time. Less famous, but beautiful, the flat 2233, here in rose gold, and also a series of clocks, such as this alarm, thermometer and barometer.

Here is what I had:

I let the 2233 in Rose Gold go, but I added this superb double face table clock, which was also part of the Jubilée collection, here featured in the 1958 Catalog under the reference 380:

Here, its Lecoultre sister:

Yes, it was a great year!

Best,

Nicolas
