Jaeger Lecoultre Triple Date Moonphase 150th Anniversary.

For the 150th Anniversary of the brand, Jaeger Lecoultre decided to release one of the most elegant Watch from their past, the Triple Date moonphase. A Watch which was born in the 40ies, and which has been resurrected in... 1983, along with a few others, like a re edition of the Jacques Lecoultre 1949 Triple Date Moonphase with a slightly different case, though, and an Atmos.

Here the rectangular version ( Credit picture: Liveauctioneers ), limited to 600 pièces.

The Atmos 150th ( Credit picture: Antiquorum ), limited to 3000 pièces.

You will find the superb godron case, the not less elegant teardrop lugs, the beautiful dial, an example of balance.

I could take two pictures of this Watch which belongs to the Heritage Gallery collection.

I was told that those which were issued for the Anniversary had their case back engraved, bearing the mention of this event. This one doesn't have its case back engraved, as I could notice by myself. It houses the Cal 494 ( Vintage movement ).

36 mm of pure beauty, don't you think?

Best,

Nicolas

.. alltogether, indeed my piece of cake ! And all these TD's, with teardrops are to be enjoyed, even including their less noble cousins, without the moonphase ! To me, one of the all-time bests, in the early days of JLC ! Thx for this compelling share ! B...

Less noble, the Black Cousin? Tsss, young Padawan! :)

Love the old JLCs and VCs with the teardrop lugs

By: vitalsigns : January 12th, 2015-10:36

Until a few years ago, these were all a tremendous bargain The JLCs probably still are a bargain (not sure since I don't follow the vintage market much) The VCs much less so now Cheers, John

They are still a bargain, and provide an excellent pleasure price ratio. [nt]

I love the rectangular in gold. It's not a reverso is it? I'm not sure I've ever seen a

JLC rectangular that's not a reverso. I love the round outside date dial. I've seen this on some reversos, and they're fantastic, especially with the red hand. Thanks for the photo and the writeup!

No, not a Reverso. There were several rectangular watches from the brand which were not

Reverso. Thanks for looking, my friend, and all the best. Nicolas

Always love triple dates...

especially with moonphase apertures. The soon-to-be-released Meteorite dial is interesting, but not "classic." If the meteorite dial is a LE piece (100 in rose, 200 in steel), that would generate more interest, I think. I hope (know) JLC has some other go...
