Nice teasing Nicolas....
as your thread can lead us to free our imagination and ... fantasies.
Something I noticed concerning Jubilees and other limited editions is that we can find true legitimate and interesting products ... or else.
As for the Big traditionnal brands (JLC, PP, VC, etc ) and as far as we talk about their classic collections, Jubilees are generally true anniversary-based watches, with something "more", unusual about the brand. Hence it leads to something good (compared to all these limited editions we are fed up with).
When you announce all the possibilities and the historical background (180th etc ..), it makes me starting to get excited really as it can lead to something huge.
The risk being that the disillusion may also be high if expectations are not met!
Who knows maybe the first Quartz+Led JLc !!! :p
Thanks for bringing this up to our mind Nicolas.
Cheers,
Mark

" Jubilé Time "...
We often hear about the word " Jubilé ". When a professional soccer player retires, we attend his Jubilé match. When you are working for many years in the same company, we celebrate your Jubilé. We often read " Jubilé " tour for a rockband. Some brands ce...
Perhaps they will issue
A tribute version of the Master Quartz Digital : Being serious now, I have to admit I would be first in line if they did a modernized tribute to the Master Mariner. I'm loving my vintage one but have to admit I would really love one in a slightly larger s...
That would be a good idea, indeed.
To pay an homage to one of the less known Vintage JLC Diving watch. But to an appealing one, such as this MM Deep Sea. 39 / 40 mm would be a good size. Thanks for your input, and happy to see that you are enjoying your " new " baby so much! All the best, ...
This is a theme close to my heart!
Especially the 125 Jubilé - as you very well know, my friend! But you are missing one Jubilé.... The 150 Jubilé, in 1983 JLC released a Memovox LE in Gold for this occation. Will return with more info when I am back home. So for me the natural thing would...
Well, the 80's...
Was not the glory days of mechanical watches... But I would say it still counts! :) And futher more if I don't recall wrong - the reintroduction of the Reverso...! But I am not 100% sure if the was in 1983. Best Blomman
1983 was a real Jubile year
1983 was a real Jubile year, being for the 150th birthday of the laufacture (2013 is certainly not a Jubile anniversary, it is just a classic anniversary like any watch company is celebrating every 5 years to create a bit of PR) IIRC, there were 3 special...
Damn, you are right. Any pics of these 3 watches?
I was too young to remember them! :) Best, Nicolas
4 watches... and a clock
Jaeger LeCoultre true Jubile 150th anniversary of 1983: - the so-called 'serie unique' (a nice oxymoron) : Ref 141 010 1 with calibre 486 (re-edition with vintage movement of the 1948 Jacques David LeCoultre tribute watch) - the Teardrop Triple date Mo...
Thank you for the info, Clavi!
I have seen another case back of the memovox, will dig up some document when I am ack home. Best, my friend Blomman
wow... very nice...
... have never seen these before... have added them in my wish list!! thanks for sharing, Clavi :-) stefan
As always, a very instructive and fascinating posting...
thank you Nicolas. Should I understand, that JLC is responsible for my pleasure in winding up my JLC Septantieme or the Dato for example. Did JLC invent the crown as a "remontoire" and/or also the changing of time (moving the hands) from the crown? Thank ...
Thank you Nicolas, from my understanding in reading..
the last advertising from your post, JLC says that they invented the "remontoir" from a crown. Anyhow, you know my love for JLC and the fact that I really believe that JLC is an understated brand, while it should definitly be in on the top of the horologi...
My guess for the Jubilee Models...
IMHO, Jaeger LeCoultre is well known for 2 models. The Reverso and The Memovox Of course there are great models like the Duometre, the Divers, the Master Calendars, but these 2 models will come to mind for most people. I am thinking and hoping that the th...
Answers to be given soon. I tend to agree with you.
The only reserve is about the Reverso: We had so many new ones these past two years that I don't feel the need for JLC to release many others, for this year... Best, Nicolas
Jubilee jubilee....
I really wish for a superb reverso chronometer , great movement, platinum case, blue dial.... Too much? By the way on the 175 anniversary you forgot the master 8 days perp skeleton in rise gold. Mo
You are right about the 8 Days QP Skeleton in RG.
As for your wish, that would be great to have something like that. But you know my passion for Chronometers... So, I am biased, here. Let's wait a bit to see which one will make our heart beat faster... Best, my friend. Nicolas
How about....
A "REAL" marketing campaign? Like, "The Watchmaker's Watchmaker" chronicling the years in which JLC produced the movement for the Royal Oak, the Nautilus, etc. IMO, the only thing JLC is missing is an impactful marketing campaign, like, "You never actuall...
I am in total agreement, Dean.
They should, at JLC, work on their marketing campains... They should communicate more on some of their treasures ( Duometre is an example among others ). On that, we totally agree. Best, and thanks for your input! Nicolas
Nice teasing Nicolas....

Ok, there will be watches for every budget, yes.
As for the desirability of the new collection, I will let you judge, but something tells me that there will be one watch you will like... ;) Best, Nicolas
no matter...
... no matter this year will be Real Jubilé time or not... one thing i am sure is that MJLC will be giving surprise very soon!!! by the way, thanks for the very nice post again! stefan
Thank you, my friend. Yes, I think that you may well find something for you
In the 2013 collection. True Jubilé or not. ;) Best, Nicolas
something for me????
.... okay okay, let me prepare a cheque for that first. LOL stefan
For me? Can't accept. Well, if you insist... :)))
Yes, for you, Stefan... I know your tastes, and I think you will fall in love with one of them.... Best, Nicolas
you know me well...
... i just can't wait any more... share with me some hints first! stefan
