An ad from the Sixties about the Gyromatic 39 Jewels, and a challenge for you, Blomman.
Here is the ad:
The text, and your challenge: " GP chose 7 créations to group them in the " Selection " Collection.
Ok, they show one of them, the Gyromatic 39 Jewels Ref 7317.
Any idea about the 6 others?
Doesn't that remind you the Jubilé collection from JLC, two years before?
Best, my friend.

I have see this ad, but my French is a bit rusty...
Not sure if the text actually refer to a specific collection like the JLC 125 Jubilé. The ad is from 1960, but the 170 anniversary would be in 1961... I haven't found any document showing a special collection of 7 pieces. But I still don't have that much ...
I would include an ealry Deep Diver. Maybe an Alarm?
And a Chronograph? That would be interesting to know! Best, my friend. Nicolas
I have been wondering about this for some time now....
And my conclusion was that it referred to 7 39 Jewels Gyromatics. But your idea sound more fun! :) Will keep digging! Best Blomman
I don't think they put 7 39 Jewels in this selection.
I think the 7 models are distinct. Just to show the different talents of the brand. Yes, we should ask! Best, Nicolas
Caliber 21 was in production in....
Different iterations between 1956 - 1961. Great ad, Tony! :) Best Blomman
