.... for a hard core JLC vintage lover or even a innocent, you can claim you are not able to guess all models correctly, but at least one you shouldn't be any excuse, that one is the third watch without crown --- Futurematic for sure!
Just a picture about a thema I am working on, currently. A stack representing 6 of the most represnetative Vintage JLC automatic watches. The interest? The different shapes of thecase, a witness of a certain design, a view on the lugs, on the crowns... A ...
Well, the two mentioned above (Futurematic and Geomatic), I also thought to recognize, (both of them to even hold once..) -- maybe as a third guess a MMV - E855 ? -- as a fourth I had thought about a 159 or SHOM .. Or are these only some of my own favorit...
Futurematic: Yes. Geomatic ( RG ) : Yes. E 855: Yes, again. But no SHOM, here, as the SHOM is a manual movement, not an automatic, and it is a stack of Automatic watches. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
How could I forget that characteristics of 159 & SHOM, - as I do love specifically those very ones so much ? Maybe if really in my realm, then I'll know for good. But thnx for kind encouragement, Will further reflect about those nice "milles feuilles"- li...
Now the last one... Automatic and original... Whose complication is still alive nowadays... Hmmm? Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-11 14:16:42
Comparing with the picture of the stack... Bingo again, my friend... E 153, even better: Jumbo case ( 37 mm ) and pretty scarce. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-11 14:22:17
I'll tip my cap to Blomman and of course salute to the Monseigneur, for the Summer Stack and the puzzles connected. For the young Padawanat least a reasonable start ( 3/6 with the easy ones): - well, listen, learn and come back to see more, hopefully.. Th...
L'aile, tous bas, ėvapore le Moment qui n'est pas encore -- the Wing down, evaporates the moment that does not yet exist .. (Paul Claudel) -- was that very poetic ad by JLC (credit: Marv, A Journey through Vintage Ads, also here ..) I always liked th...
.. - to give us a final little 'mixing experience', or maybe by coincidence. (eg E855 now in middle, Geomatic right wing, etc) Anyway - enjoyed ALL of them, ) quite some 'famille ésthetique et extraordinaire'. Nice company, each of those , I trust .. Thnx...
As I tried to organize the family shot in a chronological way... Once the pic was take, and the watches back to the bank safe, I realized that I made a mistake. But hey, nobody's perfect. Preparing the post about some essetial automatic watches will take ...
Forgiveness, my Dark Lord: ;-) The pleasure/pain ratio for seeing this formidable sixpack is still way over 10 ! Appreciate your efforts- TOUJOURS !! So, was just a tiny little pun .. ( Do I need to bow down my head ?..) hs
Love these kind of family pics! Didn’t know you got the RG Geomatic – congrats, my friend! Question, do you know from which year your Powermatic is? Best Blomman
So you rolled up your sleeve after I am gone! Not fair, my friend! Maybe I will have to roll up my other sleeve as well… Question; 1955 – is the signed crow original? Best Blomman
It is not an easy thing. Yes, I know, I'm a terrific bastardo... But wait to see what accessory I found for the E 398 RG!!! Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-12 14:30:14

You honestly have never tried to tempt members with one of your posts? Recent DSA posts come to mind. Driving people crazy if you want my opinion. Best regards, George
