Re: “watches and romance seemed to be more intertwined then”…
I definitely think so!
One of the reasons I find myself sinking deeper and deeper into the vintage abyss of JLC!
Thank you very much for your kind words, Fernando!

Vintage Ads: The Series – Part #6 Advertising as art
Hello Vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Lovers, For my 5K post I though I should post some about the more artistic styles of the JLC ads thru the history. What’s interesting is that in Jeager-LeCoultre ads a lot of art and graphic elements was used while in Jaeger...
Wonderful, again
Bloman, Your saga continues to amazes all of us. This one, even if it's a 1958 ad, sounds like "Take Five", played by the "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" (the first recording was in 1959). Cheers...
Like JLC watches…
Their ads are a never ending story..! Thank you, Nilo! Best Blomman
There are some very strong ads, here.
Well, the 1958 ad featuring the Geophysic in Rose Gold, of course, but one is speaking very lous to me. This one: Time, personalized, walking on a cloud, and flying among the clouds, at the same time, this blend of day and night, and the title: " Eloge of...
Indeed.. THAT is the One .. :))
- which EVERYONE would cherish , says it all, and very poetically so .. On a smaller note, I recently have been quite lucky .. to find few others, not as famous, but very nice , too. Many of these vintage ones are true gems, and confirm that ad and art ca...
Well, am I the only one here to not gey any of these Vintage ads?
To be honest, I've recently been gifted one of those, and an important one, I mean one which is really dear to my heart. Will post a pic as soon as I can. Best, Nicolas.
Sounds promising.. I'll do so humbly in return ! :)
- indeed, they are terrific gifts, and fascinating witnessess of times gone by. Sometimes, these can also help us to underdtand, - on other occasions they pose new riddles .. Always enjoyable .. Best for Saturday evening, hs
Oh, what I almost forgot.....
Oh, what I almost forgot.. Will keep my eyes open .. Maybe something pops up one more time, from this source .. Can't promise, but I'll try: - maybe once I could find something for you.. Best, hs Am 16.07.2011 um 20:22 schrieb www watchprosite < w[Email a...
Well, maybe ..But you are upfront in all others ! :))
- so nice to follow the Dark Lord ! A tiny area maybe where the novice(s) might be of some little help.. ;-) Best, hs
As so many times before…
We have the same favourite, Nicolas! And the same idée – me I am hunting a second copy to frame. First copy always goes in to my black book archive… Actually, I think it would be very nice to make theme in a watch room with all the “Éloge du Temps” on the...
I'm far from feeding the " Black Album ", but yes, some of the nicest ads on the wall...
That is a very tempting idea. With a bit of luck and a lot of time, I guess, I will be able to do it... Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Like with everything in life that you want…
All it takes is some time and patience – and you will reach your goal! Best, my friend Blomman
No Black Book .. But nice White Wall .. YET:
I truly can relate to these little marvels.. - but only have found some very few, which I however like a lot .. .. Not yet a single one from the ?loge du Temps Series, which I would absolutely adore . So still a long path, also on this Avenue.. Try to fol...
It’s a very long but fun journey!
A lot of interesting things to discover! With your pace, you will soon be ahead, HS! Best Blomman
No ambition there.. Just a patient pupil.. Always happy to learn & enjoy !
No worries, since I have seen your treasure book .. So amazing, so many joys.. And some secrets as well, as it appears ! Fzrther to that, for example - I have been trying to hunt and look for one - JUST one of those Euloge du Temps ( ideally the Nuit & Jo...
Good Role model .. difficult to catch .. but I'll humbly do my 'Spiel' .. :))
Thnx for going ahead, ) Musketiers need good Leaders, Also: For Jedis and Siths alike - always in two they come.. Best, my friend hs
Re: In two they come…
Yes, Vlad and Mr 666! Only downside with such a leader is that you will end up with 2 small holes in your neck! Best, my friend – and be careful with your neck! Blomman
Actually, I like both .. AND the little pinch signs.. ;-)
.. Recently appear to have discovered something on the contralateral side, as well, Starts with a B... Also I start getting used to it .. Best, hs
outstanding, thank you blomann
These ads remember me the art & science themes which was dear to general motors back in in its glory days of the 50's. thanks for sharing. best regards georges
Thank you, Georges!
A lot of beautiful ads were made in the 50’s! Cars, perfume, even cigarette ads! Best Blomman
re" Part #6
Congrats on 5k and a great way to do it with another wonderful post! I like the 1954 ad with the hands drawn in pencil/scribble, the watches pop out due to the contrast of black lines. It'll be interesting how those in the future view today's ads by JLC. ...
Hi MW
The 1954 scribble series I like a lot too! So simple but yet very appealing! Thank you, MW! Posts (and time) fly fast when you are enjoying yourself! Best Blomman
Fantastic way to celebrate your 5000!
Love these ads. It's so reflect of the brand and the European influences. Romantic tributes to a great brand! blomman, where do you store all these?
Yes, a lot of European influences!
Thank you, OC! My “black book” is actually several black books… Here are some of them… Best Blomman...
Ohh.. Those Black Books .. are really something ;-)
Was lucky enough to get a peek or two , - pretty Dark Art in there, I learned .. Well, one has to start early, always digging deep - and trying to hang on.. That can make some journeys hilarious , as we got to know ! Always a pleasure being at your wings ...
Thanks for taking...

Indeed, Marv has a stunning selection of ads! I still some of them in my book… But I am working on filling the blanks! Thank you very much, my friend – very kind of you! I will do my best to keep them coming… Best Blomman
Stunning!
These are really great examples of illustration and graphic design. A lost art.

Thanks Blomman, great series and this addition is
a real topper for me. Ads from my birth year and wedding year. It is still amazing how the ads pull one in, take you back and still marvel at how great these watches look. You have also reminded me to revive my Vintage watches, waiting patiently for some ...
Tim, please give your vintage watches some fun in the sun…
