Here some autumnal greetings with my JLC Triple Dates ; Yin and Yang sort of..

For me these Calendars represent on of the finest JLC watchmaking periods with elegance and style.

(They also had come as Double Dates some 10-20 yrs earlier)..

Thus here without much further ado,

some shots after a walk in the park..

Black & white - lucky me to find the pair..

This one thanks to a very good friend, ( you know, who you are..). Now already some years with me..

True love: case, teardrop lugs, dial - you name it

Always I look on one of these, it makes me smile..

Also a pleasure on the wrist & joy to look down on it !..

Have a good further week and Cheers !

Key Points from the Discussion

The 'Yin and Yang' moniker is fitting for the contrasting black and white dial JLC Triple Dates, which emerged during the turbulent 1940s, yet exude timeless elegance with their distinctive lugs and charming dials.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Triple Date models represent a generic and foundational DNA for the brand, with their design and watchmaking prowess remaining highly regarded even 70-80 years after their original production.
The exceptional condition of hs111's JLC Triple Date watches is a testament to their inherent quality and the care they have received over decades.

The Yiin and Yang is a most appropriate name for them. Absolutely agree with you in your comments about these beauties which were born in the middle of some turbulent days for Humankind in the 1940’s. The sexy lugs and charming dials make for the joy of wearing them on the wrist. Mine wishes to say hello! Keep enjoying and loving your timepieces so much my dear friend! Abel

A design language that just oozes romance and happiness - which is even more incredible considering the time period from which they come.

And yes, these Triple Dates are a generic DNA for JLC; even more so if one considers they are of around 70-80 yrs back in time ! Timeless pleasure for me ! Best, hs
