Jaeger Lecoultre Cal 906 Chronometer, Ref 24000.

Jun 18, 2018,09:16 AM
 

The pleasant contradiction of this watch? A sophisticated dial in a funky case, with a rough movement. 







It is totally different form an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref 5402 or a Patek Nautilus 3700, but it has something, in the spirit. 

AND, it is a Chronometer. And there were not that many chronometers, at Jaeger Lecoultre. 

Very 70's, pleasant, a bit exuberant, with a touch of class. A cool cocktail! 

Best,

Nicolas

Very nice. I love the dial - very attractive with the nice texture and crosshairs.

Not mad about the bracelet though; looks like something you would use to confine Hannibal Lecter. Regards Kev.

the bracelet is neo future [nt]

...i need your help! I bought an 24001-42 JLC master mariner chronometer automatic with champagne-couloured dia l. At the moment it is in service and will be fine in two weeks - but i have no idea to evaluate the correct price for it, even if i do not wan...

...so i am a little happy now! classy design and with the metal strap even better! the dial is linen, not really snow-white There are blue, grey and linen ones, completely 1050 pcs. Does somebody now how is the proportion, how many blue, grey and linen do... 

so i think...

it will be probably 350. it would be possible to ask at JLC, but that costs 250 CHF, which is appr. 300 USD, a little bit too much for this information. One question left: a friend of mine owns a 24002 model - but it is an "unsaleable" prototype with gold... 

I need this in my collection

what irritates me a bit are the Roman numerals and the hands. But the case and bracelet are super cool.

It’s somehow a bit low-key, but with an eclectic appeal !.. so let me send Chronometer- greetings from my own Ref 24000 ! :))
