Amanico celebrates a personal 'double Jubilé' by gathering three rare Jaeger-LeCoultre watches from the 1958 Jubilé collection: the Geophysic E 168, Memovox Parking 3161, and Memovox World Time 3160, alongside the stainless steel 2233. His post offers a unique glimpse into these historically significant and exceptionally rare timepieces, highlighting their collective importance.
and 3161 ( Parking ). 
I will not post pictures of the Geophysic alone, as you well know it, but what seems to be a first on the net is the famous trio, sude by side, on the same picture.
Steel Geophysic and Parking, yellow gold Word Time Memovox.
Maybe one day I will be able to take the steel trio, but as the Devil can't suffer imperfection, I also took a picture of the whole trio in yellow gold!
Yes, for a double jubilé, nothing can beat a Jubilé theme!
Best,
Nicolas

This particular model is distinguished by its robust construction and precision engineering, designed for scientific observation and accuracy. It represents a period when watch manufacturers focused on creating instruments capable of performing reliably in challenging environments, emphasizing technical merit over decorative embellishments. The E168 is recognized for its clean dial layout and functional aesthetic, reflecting its purpose-built origins.
The case of the Geophysic E168 is crafted from stainless steel, measuring 35mm in diameter. It houses the manual-winding Caliber 478BWS, a movement known for its precision and anti-magnetic properties, featuring a hacking seconds function for accurate time setting. The watch is fitted with a domed acrylic crystal, contributing to its vintage character and period-appropriate design. The solid case back further underscores its utilitarian design, protecting the movement from external influences.
For collectors, the Geophysic E168 holds significance as an early example of a highly technical watch from Jaeger LeCoultre. Its appeal lies in its historical context and the engineering principles it embodies. Variants of the Geophysic line are sought after for their understated design and the quality of their movements, making the E168 a key reference for those interested in mid-20th century precision timekeeping instruments.
As to your hopes to make the 3 steel trio picture, I think we could achieve this quite soon, certainly before your next Jubilé ! All the best and thank you for the great pictures as ever
Which will come in 24 years, 11 months and 28 days... ;) It was great to see you with all the usual suspects and buddies. Even if I suspected NOTHING. Thank you. Nicolas
Stunning line up! Yes, my friend - the Jubilé is hard to beat. Best Blomman
The real may be pretty Lucky... An unforgettable moment, shared between friends. With friends. Best, Nicolas
I like the "look" of the International version, although it's only an "instantaneous world time" and not a "running world time." But it is easier to read than the current version. -Dean
... a bit behind the exact date but with much "afecto" for sure. About the trio of watches, it is awesome to see these three legendary timepieces together. Thank you for sharing them my friend! Un fuerte abrazo mi amigo! Abel.
