Before my time, but modern and current nonetheless...
It's funny to see that a company not only pays hommage to it's historical watches but still pays hommage to its old advertising.
I like the current type of self-promotion executed by Jaeger-LeCoultre. It's strange that it's so modern today yet was probably just as prevalent as it was those many decades ago.
Even the strong slogans are linked to the Past
You all certainly remember this ad, and these strong slogans: " No other watch manufacture can do this picture ". " Have you ever worn a real watch ? ". Or...." One watch, two brains " Or... " 0,34 grams to escape the law of gravity " And a small variatio...
Fun post N!
"Time to be on Time" would have to be the most clever of all and my fav! Just remember, time sets its own time. B well my friend, Matrix.
The funny thing is that we will all have our favourite ad, Matrix
I specially love the one about the Geophysic. And those about the Memovox, too. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-06-04 06:38:26
Thanks for the nice words, Karim
When I saw these old ads, I was saying to myself that I hazd to post them, in relation with these recent ads... What a link to the past! Best, Nicolas
PLEASE....
no more pictures, ads, references on the duometre..... I just invested on another JLC and do not want to be tempted Cheers
"Have you ever worn a real watch?"
Not sure....Maybe these marketing people can tell me. The old ads, though, are terrific. The new: Bombastic. The old: Informative.
That's the Beauty of it, Neil.
The words are echoing our individual sensibility, indeed. As for watches, to each his own. Best! Nicolas
Awesome, Nicolas!
I love seeing these ads, both the new and the old. Really a treat to see these old ads. And, I am always proud of my JLCs. Thans for posting these. respo
That's great, Respo
To see this kind of Revival nowadays... For more than 10 years, nothing or almost nothing. Then, since last year, we see the come back of these audacious slogans. Four our greatest pleasure, and ..pride. Best, Nicolas
I specially love the latest paragraph, Jerome
And another interesting thing is that you see the original hands of the Geophysic, in their original color...Not patined, of course. That changes a lot from what we use to see in pics or in the flesh. I love this humoristic ad, indeed. One of my very favo...
I love the first ad!
The calibers look like gems inside a jewelry case! Thanks for sharing these ads with us. Very clever! Cheers, Daos
I often use it as a background for my pics, Daos.
An impressive pic, of course. You have to go to the Heritage Gallery, sister... If you love this pic, you will be more than happy, there! Best, Nicolas
Always great to see old adverts ...
... even in French (which unfortunately I can't read, apart from a few words). Thanks for putting these together. Andrew
Sorry, Andrew
Yep, sad that these ads are in French, because they often are very funny. I'll try to make it more " international " next time! Best, Nicolas
Haha ...
nice post again Nicolas ... i always have to laugh a bit seeing the difference between the old and new ads ... (difference in lay-out ). Salut Filip
They also are true pieces of History, Filip
In a certain way, witnesses of our favourite watches! Best, Nicolas
Great post..!!
Every day I'm proud to wear a real watch and always amazed when people don't realise what is inside the case and think it is powered by a battery....when you mention cogs and springs they look shocked..!! Cheers Nico, Andy.
LOL, but true, Andy
Once a guy saw my MMR and asked me where did I catch this nice Swatch! Proudly, Nicolas
If you would like....
I would gladly take it off your hands and give you a swatch Cheers

Wonderful montage, Nic...
I'd really like to see JLC use the current adverts with the sublime as well as the stupendous. Say, for example, a 4.2mm thin MUT, or even the Geographique. JLC has SO many pieces they could flaunt. Come to thing of it, I've long felt that JLC should expl...
i've got several vintage Omega ads, but none are as good as these
my favourite is 'one watch, two brains'. it really sums up the Duometre beautifully. best Graham
A journey in time, Graham...
And a beautiful one, indeed! It's a bit like a book, you loose yourself through these ads. I would rather consider begin to collect them... Best, my friend. Nicolas
if i remember i'll bring...
if i remember i'll bring the Omegas along to add to your collection. best Graham
Agree
There are so many watches to put under the spot light. Those you mentionned, but also the Amvoxes, which were always ( and still now ) under the shadow, or the MMRs... Not to mention the Gyro I, or the Extrem Lab. But this is just the begining, and I'm pr...
The importance of the slogans
Since the beginning of the horlogerie, the words became really important because mechanical watches have a spiritual ingredient that must be taken into account, and this fact in well known by all the brands. When you choose a watch you are painting the pi...
