From the Jaeger-LeCoultre 125 Year Jubilé 1958:

In 2011 I posted this ad: English – “Where the unusual is commonplace”…

In 2016 I posted this ad: Spanish – “Los altos lugares de la alta precisión”…

…and said that “if I ever find this ad in a third language I might pass”…

Yeah right, we all know that would never happen!

So now, 2018 I post this ad: German – “Ein Hochland der Präzision”…

One interesting detail here is that the watches are not drawn as on the other two, but actual photos of the watches.

So now I am at 3 - 2 – 2, sounds more like a soccer line-up than watch collecting…

But guess I need to find the ad in a forth language to make a full team!

Key Points from the Discussion

The ability to collect both the vintage advertisements and the actual watches featured in them is highly praised as a remarkable achievement.
The contributor blomman Mr Blue notes that these historical documents are invaluable for verifying the authenticity and context of the vintage watches, adding a detective-like enjoyment to collecting.
The collection of these specific JLC 'Juwels' and their corresponding ads is considered a 'quest for perfection' and a 'magician's command' by fellow enthusiasts.
The collector hints at a future 'fantastic four' photo shoot, including the 2233, and a comprehensive 125 Year Jubilé shot that would feature ladies' watches and clocks.

You are just INCREDIBLE my friend, that is a fantastic lineup of ads and watches

I believe your collection is possibly imitable (from very very far) but certainly unmatchable !

You have an amazing collection of JLC watch and supporting material.

It is amazing to see the ads and how they positioned the watches. It is amazing that you have the watches in question. Thank you very much for sharing. Bill
