Don't try to make a search about it, you will find nothing about it. This is a document JLC sent to their ADs in ...1958, to promote the " Jubilée " Collection, and, concretely, the 125th " Grande Maison " Birthday. Besides the text, which was typical of ...  

Thank you for sharing this with us! A fantastic piece of history J I which you all the best in your hunt for this suitcase! Best Blomman

What I need is not luck, but a miracle... I assigned to myself a goal...To try to achieve the " Jubilé " Collection. For the moment, I have 2 of the 4 watches... Let's wait and see what Fate will do for me. Best, Nicolas

Thanks, Nicolas. I can't wait to pore over this tonight. respo

And how happy I was when I received it from the Manufacture! A nice journey into Time, indeed. And an amazing text. Best, Nicolas

The interesting thing about this document is to note that in 1958, the reverso - which is today the first watch associated with the brand - was completely forgotten in the summary of JLC landmarks. Here is the "centerpiece" and the box......

I have this document for several months, now, and I'm still having a lot of pleasure to read them! Best, my friend. Nicolas

...a true walk through history. Was the case & watches available as a set to collectors in 1958 or was it only for ADs? N

As you also find them in the catalogues, till 65 for the Parking and the World Time. The Geophysic was, if I'm not wrong, discontinued in 1962. But the suitcase was, AFAIK, only available for ADs... Best, Neil. Nicolas

There were no wristwatch collectors back in 1958, so the set was obviously intended as a good marketing tool for dealers. Although collecting historical clocks and pocket watches dates back to the beginning of the XXth century, there was no interest in co...

Interesting document! I wish I knew more about vintage watches… … but then I would probably be hunting day and night! Best Blomman
