I found an article that discusses...
... all of the JLC Chronometer models made through the 24000-42 models in the mid 1970's.
No mention is made in the article of the 24001-42, but it seems plausible to me that such a style would exist with the same caliber as the 24000-42. One would need to make an inquiry to JLC to confirm this for sure. This looks like a very rare watch indeed!
Here are some larger pictures from the original poster's Photobucket account:
I wonder what the Manufacture will say?
Hope this helps,

Damn, you were fast to post the pics!
Sorry, but I do not know this Ref. Best, Nicolas
Can't wait to see your pics, Brian
The JLC Chronometers housing a cal 906 were not massively produced, as they " lived " a short life, maybe one year, before being " killed " by the Quartz Watches. I know the Ref 24000-42, not the 24001-42. I would be curious to see pics of this reference,...

Thanks your help.. Guess I have a rare bird !¨The case back definitely has 24001-42 and serial 1400293.. Regards Brian
Do you have the movement number?
It is the only way to know when it has been released. Indeed, you have a rare bird. Best, Nicolas
Made between 1973 and 1974.
BUT, I still wonder how many were made... Do you have bigger pics of this rare bird? What we know is that 7 000 Cal 906 were produced, and, among these 7 000, some were used by VC as an ebauche, others for JLC, of course, for their own Chronometer Ref 240...

" Hidden Treasures " is an excellent review, indeed.
The Author of this review has a superb collection of JLC Chronometers, and when I was looking for some informations about the initial poster's 24001- 42, I wondered if I wouldn't find it there... Sadly, I didn't find any information anywhere. Will contact...
