Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hello Friends, I just wanted to share a clock we not often see here: Petite Neuchâteloise. What separates this one from other clocks is that this one is not an alarm clock with an alarm. This clock is more of a music box, when the alarm goes off it plays ...  

The 70ies, early 80ies, Blomman. As for the clock you show here, the Small Neucateloise, I didn't even know its existence... JLC is a nightmare for the collectors: Each time you think you know, you just realize you know nothing. But how passinoate it is. ...

And how appropriate that the alarm is a tune. I'm just curious as to how it sounds...

Otherwise I would play it for you! It sounds as an old music box, but each time I play it, it becomes a bit better sound. Maybe it hasn’t been used for a long time and need to get in gear… Thank you, Davo! Best Blomman

With a musical tone alarm..how very interesting. Great catch and thanks for sharing. Ed
