Each time I see these pictures, this is what I think. Respect.

Superb!

That's one of the many faces of Jaeger Lecoultre.

 
 By: amanico : February 3rd, 2022-22:59

Man this is a sexy movement!

That's why I like these pocket watch movements so much.

 
 By: amanico : February 3rd, 2022-23:09

Imagine something like this on the back of a modern watch! 👌

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : February 3rd, 2022-23:10

There was a wrist watch which had a vey nice movement in that style...

Without Tourbillon, though... ...  

Now that is sexy! 👌

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : February 3rd, 2022-23:15

That's why I love this watch so much. Who could guess it houses such a treasure?

 
 By: amanico : February 3rd, 2022-23:16

Never without looking inside!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : February 3rd, 2022-23:26

Yep!

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-07:18

Now THAT is literally jaw dropping.

Exactly my feeling. The Jaeger Lecoultre I love.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-07:18

Pure poetry

 
 By: Cozmopak : February 3rd, 2022-23:52

Indeed. I spent a lot of time with this one. At the point it ruined a bit the program I had at the Manufacture. ;)

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-07:50

Gotta love that big balance wheel : )

 
 By: mdg : February 4th, 2022-00:30

And these generous bevels and the shapes of the plate and bridges, these curves, the Cotes de Genève... The Swan Neck! Everything...

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-07:52

What a treat.

Thanks for the pics. A stunner.

A real pleasure to share such a treasure.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-11:39

Absolutely beautiful! JLC, just make a wearable version of that please!

 
 By: Fastwong : February 4th, 2022-03:36

The WWW was a 35 mm watch with a very interesting movement ( I posted it in this thread, above ).

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-22:34

Sublime indeed

 
 By: takman : February 4th, 2022-04:38
One of the nicest swan necks I’ve seen. Thank you for posting!

Me too. All and everything is super sensual, here.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-22:34

Not many JLCs have a swan neck!

 
 By: eklektik : February 6th, 2022-08:26
Nice to see, thanks Nico! What size is the movement and was it ever produced in serial production? Best, E.

No, only in a few pieces. As for the size, I would say around 50 mm?

 
 By: amanico : February 6th, 2022-09:17

PS: I forgot: A Swan Neck in a modern JLC...

 
 By: amanico : February 6th, 2022-09:19
Yes, yes, it is a Septantième! ...  

Oh, that little one 😉 I'd like more though! Best, E.

You are so greedy!
