Jerome Lambert’s return to JLC
With the exciting news of Jerome Lambert returning to JLC, I was reminded of two of my favourite posts ever on the Purists, namely two related posts from 2009 by Dje about the tale of his and Nico’s trip to Le Mans, courtesy of JLC. A lavish trip involvin...
Oh yes, mon ami. Fond memories. We had so many grat moments, with Jerome.
Here is another photo... From the same event. ...
I think you and Dje must have spent all of JLC’s 2009 marketing budget with this trip!!
I’m sure you had fun. All the best, Jon
2007
Do you remember that first time we met was at Le Mans in 2007? They had invited me last minute and not announced my stay so I ended up sleeping on the couch of the castle. Great times.
Sounds like an epic event 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
And a new version of the watch would be very welcome indeed 🤞🏻 Here’s mine saying hi 👋🏻 ...
Sure thing 😊👍🏻
The one I always wanted - since Nico showed me his. Albeit I have a chicken wrist, so the platinum was too heavy for me to wear regularly 🤷🏻♂️
So True Jon
When we are in the moment we don't realize how lucky we are and in my case took it for granted, its only later you realize how lucky we were, thank you for reminding us of these good times, HAGWE
No problem, Salman.
At least now there is a chance for these good times to come back. No pressure on Jerome!
I thought you might agree.
As Salman says, that’s a great picture of the watch. All the best, Jon
Yes
Am I getting 15 years younger instantly? That was a great time. And there could be fun ahead. Thanks for reminding us that past.
Time travel is possible on the Purists!
It must have been an amazing experience. Many thanks for sharing it with us back in 2009. All the best, Jon
The Navy Seals/Compressor lines were another great example of interesting watches from Lambert’s first term.
It looks good on your wrist and deserves to be worn😀. All the best Jon
Nice picture of the end of the line.
The tweaks to the case and the power reserve make the Amvox 7 a great alternative to the Amvox 2. I enjoy wearing mine but it’s not quite as legible as my Amvox 2, particularly in bright light, but it’s still lots of fun to wear. All the best, Jon ...
Agree
Indeed, as always, additional bells and whistles add interest but compromise legibility.
