I love the 24 001
Was this available on a steel bracelet as well? I sort of recall seeing one a few years ago?
The 24 002 is pretty great also. There was a Master Quartz that used an almost identical case.
Watches of the Day: Funky Chronometers.
As I promised you to put a huge topic on line, let's start slowly, with a trio of funky Chronometers, from the Grande Maison: 24 000: 24 001 24 002: I have to confess that it took me some time to fully appreciate them. The 24 000 is the easiest to love, t...
Silver dial 24000-42
My watch as covered in Zaf's book: Light blue part is the hack device. ...
Very nice piece .. And splendid photo ! .. Kind greetings and..
.. Have a smooth ride into a Happy New Year - for You and Yours !! :)) Best regards, hs
Thank you...
Whishing you and yours all the best for 2014! [of course to all readers as well!] I.
What a Trio !.. Rare, if at all , to see.. Looking forward.. Thx in advance ..:))
.. for that huge work- product of yours about Chronometry.. As an appetizer these three are very special, it appears; - my personal fav might be the 24000, followed by the third pic of the 24002 (?) ( there's a little mismatch for this third: - above the ...
I corrected the typo, my " Eagle Eye " friend.
As for your question, they " procedure ", the 1000 Hours Control " is Superior to the Cosc, as the movement is checked INTO the Watch, not OUT OF the Watch. Their tests are more demanding than the COSC. I asked JLC to send me all the steps of the 1000 Hou...
My pleasure, thx.. So even More stringent.. Having said so..
.. are "only" JLC - watches, with that quality signum of 1000 hrs Control ( eg in the papers and/ or on case), - or will ALL (modern) pieces undergo this - or some other - vigorous testing ? eg : TT DSA, Reverso(s), Duometres, etc etc .. The whole lineup ...
Awesome cases!
Can we see more of the bracelet from the 24 000? You know I have a thing for integrated bracelets. Thanks Nicolas!
Red second hand wins it
Hi Of the three - its the third that appeals to me most, the red contrasting second hand is ace. Also as you suggest its the less extreme of the three. Though I should better appreciate '70s watches as I do have a Bellmatic. The Blue dial on the second on...
As I said, it takes some time to appreciate them, but once...
You study them a bit, you are done... After all, there were not so many Chronometers at JLC... And these one were just killed by the Quartz era... The last Mammouths... In a certain way... Best, Nicolas
Love that 24000, superb dial.....
and with the steel bracelet! what a wonderful combo! Perfect for the hot summer days Down Under:) Cheers Francois
