The Jubilée 1958, a fantastic document from the Manufacture
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 ...
Wow Nicolas!!!
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
Well, 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
Now you can imagine how crazy I was when I fell on this document
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 forgotten reverso
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......
Yes, Clavi.
We can make the same comparison with the 175th Anniversary, in 2008. At this moment, there was no Reverso to celebrate such an event. Suprising, indeed. You got the suitcase??? Congrats, for the suitcase, but also for the nice combination of instruments! ...

Well, sometimes, pics are worth the text
Actually, I love a lot the " Where the Unusual is the common place "... A Great Slogan. To be saved, indeed. Best, and thanks for your nice comments, my friend. Nicolas
I understand, Tim ...
I have this document for several months, now, and I'm still having a lot of pleasure to read them! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thank you 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
The watches weren't reserved to ADs
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
collectors in 1958
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...
knowing from history is very interesting journey of learning...
thanks very much, Nico. so, these old documents are in JLC Heritage Gallery? stefan

A little addition to the jubile Collection documentation
This additional add from 1958 displaying some of the pieces from the collection...
Thanks Clavi!
Interesting document! I wish I knew more about vintage watches… … but then I would probably be hunting day and night! Best Blomman
Another great document, Clavi
Interesting to notice that here, the Memovox World Time was forgotten, and only this model! Best, Nicolas
