Jaeger-LeCoultre

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...  

I like that double face clock design, very cool. -MW

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...  

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, ...

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... 

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

No message body

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... 

I was too young to remember them! :) Best, Nicolas

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...  

I have seen another case back of the memovox, will dig up some document when I am ack home. Best, my friend Blomman

... have never seen these before... have added them in my wish list!! thanks for sharing, Clavi :-) stefan

...  

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 ... 

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... 

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... 

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

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

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

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... 

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

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,... 

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 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

In the 2013 collection. True Jubilé or not. ;) Best, Nicolas

.... okay okay, let me prepare a cheque for that first. LOL stefan

Yes, for you, Stefan... I know your tastes, and I think you will fall in love with one of them.... Best, Nicolas

... i just can't wait any more... share with me some hints first! stefan
