A story to pursue...

Hello blomman,

Aye, I am set on eventually...with the kind help of others...to find the true explanation and meaning of the elusive logotype on the hexagonal JLC 8-day leather clock. I would tend to see the logo as letters SR rather than mirrored R.

At the moment of writing this (APR 22nd 2015);

- The Heritage Department of Jaeger-LeCoultre has not been able to identify the logo yet. This is based on correspondence between me and JLC client relations. (For a fee of 250 CHF they can allocate slightly more time using the JLC Archive Extract program, but with no guarantee of success)

- One of these hexagonal JLC clocks with logo was sold by Antiquorum Auctioneers of Geneva, Switzerland in 2011. The auction house has no information on the meaning of the logo based on correspondence between me and Antiquorum watch expert director.

- A few others have been spotted on some popular internet auction venues. Even one that seems to have been "tuned" with woodwork during its history. However all have the SR logotype on the watch face.

- The vague resemblance of the Revue-Thommen logo will be addressed in another post soon. (matter discussed with Swiss Initiative Limited recently)
