Sunday picture: Jaeger Chronograph Ref E 2638, box and papers.

Almost a time capsule... Imagine you are in 1964 / 1965... You arrive at a JLC AD, yes, at that time, the Jaeger Lecoultre Boutiques didn't exist. 


You push the door, you look at the windows, and you notice this lovely chronograph, sleeping here. 






You want something else than a Speedmaster or a Daytona... You want something class, original, good looking... 

Here you are. 

The charm of the vintage, some 50 years after. 

Best,

Nicolas

Great pic. I love the box and everything (on other older watches as well such as Omega). It all looks so classy, nimble, well thought out, not too many gimmicks, ...

A stunning time piece!!!!!

Pristine vintage piece

Though if you're lucky enough to own it the question must be how often do you date to wear it. I still find it amazing such pristine examples still come up - looking great with full box & papers. Thanks for sharing Cheers JML

Gracias Amigo Abel. [nt]
