Friends, being a bit late to the JLC Vintage bash.. Hope that still is ok for some humble chip ins.. ;))
Thought I start with some Memovoxes,
which are one of the central themes of my JLC interests.
Some may have been shown herein the thread above, eg: E861,
but hope there is enough to chew on..
Voilá :
Upper Duo: LC 3072, JLC E872
Middle group of 6 ( left to right):
Black E855, white Ebene 855, blue 875, 2-tone blue/silver 875,
white silver 875, silver w black indices E861;
Bottom : E 871, light- blue white ("TV-screen")
A bunch of Memovoxes 60ies to 70ies
A very funny Memovox,
Parking E 3161
Forget about Parking tickets !
Sometimes you need two..
One of the early MMVs
Ref 3150, "hooded lugs"
Another special early one
Ref 851 ( Pic Credit: Nico, watch: hs)
Let me end here, with a quite rare
and unusual Ref, which I happily share with friend Blomman

Well, hope you enjoyed this little
selection, of my MMVs, to join Nico's "attack"
Cheers & Best,

During our last get together, we had the opportunity to gather some vintage Jaeger Lecoultre legends. And some of us even added some in their collections. Legends, rare birds, sea snake, it is hard to find the right word to describe what we saw. I will sl...
Part 2: Futurematic.
After the Geophysics, let's see some other superb vintage JLCs. A Futurematic has just found a new home, and this one, with this dial, is quite a rare bird: It is the 4th I see with this dial. It is just mesmerizing. ...
Feel compelled to add mine

Wow, that's a very very nice thread! Thanks Nicolas!!
I must say that I have a fascination for the Futurematic. The fact that it does not have a crown makes it a very nice and balanced symmetrical look! That\'s one I\'ll have to find at some point! Thanks for sharing all these magnificent pictures! All the b...
I would be very happy to see you joining us with such an icon.
The Futurematic is an extraordinary watch. Thanks for your kind words and enjoy the thread. We didn't end with it, believe me. Best, Nicolas
A cousin of the Futurematic, the Powermatic Jumbo.
In this case size ( 37 mm ), it is quite tough to find. Ref E 163: ...
Part 3: Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris.
Another find, during this GTG, a Polaris 1965, not a Lecoultre, but a Jaeger Lecoultre. As you can guess, our friend was quite thrilled to get it. I've seen several Lecoultre, but less often Jaeger Lecoultre signed. ...
Part 4: Deep Sea Alarm, Lecoultre and Jaeger Lecoultre.
As we are into diving watches, a couple of Deep Sea Alarms, US and Europe, belonging to our dear Blomman: This Europe is just gorgeous. Some will point out that the hands are not the same, but both are correct for the two Deep Sea Alarm. How many of us ar...
After Blomman's, mines...

Part 5: Jaeger Lecoultre Military WWW.
What about a Military, now? A nice WWW. Always a pleasure to fall on one. The chrome plated case has lived a tough life, which adds to its charm. ...
Yes, these Militaries are really quite attractive.. Next to the WWW, also the Mark VII, & of course the Mark-11 are great pieces. :))

Part 6: Jaeger Lecoultre Triple Date, Black Dial.

Part 7: Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox Ref 1282A.
A simple Memovox can be an extraordinary find... This one, housing a manual winding movement, from the Mid Fifties, is in great shape, and comes with its original tag. On the tag, it is written Ref 1282A, white gold numbers. No wonder why one of us immedi...

Part 8: Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox World Time Ref 3160.
The top stars of this get together were certainly The Memovox World Time, Ref 3160. It took me 15 years to see one in the flesh, it was past year, and it was a gold one. It took me one more year to see its steel sister. No need to say that this reference ...

Ah, the Friday massacre! MIND-BLOWING
not sure if I'm allowed to spoil the thread with some vintage GP candy?
Interesting selection. The E 861 should be feasible.
The MM 24000 is a tad tougher to find. And the vintage Reverso is an icon, with the price of an icon, sadly. Best, Nicolas
Finally, Massive Attack:-)

I'm impressed , you just made my day

That's a massive attack of vintage Memovoxes, my friend.
You have one of the finest vintage Memovox collection, my dear HS. Really impressive. Still, two or three are missing... Best, Nicolas
I know, I know.. An early E855, E876, the scaled dials etc, etc.. But I have been very lucky at my last visit.. :)))
That handwound/WG numbers was a rare find & made me happy !! - Thx for your advice & encouragement ! Best, hs
Aahhh, now I understand !.. Hmmh, what to contribute.. ;))
.. 2 Chronos, for Diving only TT + DSA, but your treasure box is still well filled: ( 4ATM, Dolphin, Master Mariner, etc) -- ok.. - You have a point ! Cheers & Best, hs
Super collection, congratulation! A small tribute to it with my 3150

What a thread my dear Nicolas!! Really breathtaking! You had warned us... but this goes beyond any expectations!...
... this thread is just mind blowing! Thanks to you and all our friends here who participate with their awesome collections!! Cheers! Abel.
Incredible collections of vintage JLC
I need to digest this thread over the weekend. Currently at work but all those Geophysics will be on my mind all day. Especially love that NOS condition one!
Less prestigious than the Geophysic, but not uninteresting, the Geomatic.
In rose gold, with its box, papers, and wallet. Which is pretty tough to find: Or in steel: ...
O M G !
Thanks for this thread. I\'m enjoying it and it gives you such a great condensed encounter with this vintage world. Cheers, Kolosstt
That is a safe choice. But yes, too many to choose. Depends on the size.
If you are more after big watches, then all the militaries and the Geophysic are not for you. From 39 mm to 43 mm, then the choice is a bit shorter. Best, Nicolas
Totally hidden, rarely seen, the Lecoultre Master Mariner Chronometer Cal 476/3.
The other watch from the 1958 Jubilé, but a Lecoultre, not a Jaeger Lecoultre. ...
I have one but the hands are....
I have one with the "torpedo" style indices but the hands are just like those on the Geophysic. Lance
Another Chronometer, the Ref 24000 housing the automatic movement Cal 906:
In Blue, or white... From the early to mid Seventies: ...
Ok, as Nico has suggested.. New topic: The JLC & Jaeger Chronographs:
Humble start.. Chrono Ref 4623, " The Shark" It came with 2-3 bezel-insert options, here the WT, the most attractive IMO.. Jaeger Chronograph, Valjoux 72 Pretty sure, Nico will add up, hopefully soon.. Cheers & Best, hs ...
Thx, my friend !.. Now I'm hoping for you & your 4 ATM & Jaeger Chrono.. ;))
PS: Stupid me, having misspelled the Shark\'s Ref. of course it is 2643 - Thx for correcting in your kind reply
Aahhh - Thx !!.. For the Panda Chrono !.. Really like the 4 ATM, also pretty rare..
.. Never saw one in real, except yours - and I guess MattS has got one ! Guess, that Reference does complement a theme with Jaeger/JLC Chronos quite nicely ! So I am going to keep my eyes open, although currently other targets further up on the LOD ( List...
Jaeger Chronograph, Ref E 2638.
Not a very rare reference, but when it comes with its box and papers, this is a quite unusual find. 36 mm steel case, Valjoux 72 inside: ...
A lovely Jaeger Chronograph, Ref 22 526, with an Universal Genève Cal 285.
35 mm case, steel. ...
43 mm steel Jaeger Lecoultre Chrongraph, Ref E 2648.
Made between 1970 and 1972, 2 000 cases were planned, but much less entire watches came out. Valjoux 72 inside: ...
Well...
thanks for this thread, Amanico, Clavi, Blomman and all others... Definitely more beauties in this thread only than in many other ones on different fora altogether ! This brings me to a question on which I never found an answer: To your knowledge, are the...
There are much more than you think, my dear Karmin.
For example did you ever see a picture of the 3160 Memovox World Time, pictured on the Jubilé documents? Did you ever see a picture of the 159 SHOM? Did you ever see a picture, on the catalogs of the Geophysic with Dauphine hands, which are correct, thoug...
Lecoultre Quartermaster from 1957 and 1958.
Only 2500 pieces made during these 2 years. Steel case, black or white dial. One of the very time only to offer a display of the time on 24 hours. Its movement, the Cal 480 CW. 33 mm case. ...
This is a mind blowing post/thread my friend...
... A complete JLC Madness!! I just wish to thank you and all our friends who participate here showing this awesome and stunning array of JLC beauties!! A celebration of JLC!! Thanks a lot gentlemen!! Cheers! Abel
LeCoultre Master Mariner
I have been searching for quite some time for some explanation and history on a watch that was given to me. This watch was my grandfather's, given to me by my mother several years ago. I really did not know how old the watch was and I still have not been ...
Master Mariner
Any idea how many were manufactured? Year that this was made? I know around 1958. Where I might be able to get an original band?
